Summary
I am a passionate and dedicated English Language Teaching (ELT) student in my final year at Pamukkale University, set to graduate in July 2025. Since 2022, I have gained hands-on experience teaching English through various roles, including working at a language course and currently being part of ELAC, a program focused on game-based teaching. In addition, I have been teaching at ELAC’s kindergarten since January 2025, where I design fun, engaging lessons to promote interactive learning. I am enthusiastic about language acquisition, and my teaching style emphasizes making learning enjoyable through games, role-playing, and real-life scenarios.
I am excited to continue growing as a teacher and would love to bring my energy, creativity, and experience to new opportunities in education.
