You already think in full sentences. My job is to close the gap between your mind and your mouth.

Shabnam English Teacher

There's a half-second most learners know too well — the lag. The thought is complete, sharp, even funny. Then it has to cross into English, and somewhere in that crossing the confidence drains out. I've spent fifteen years studying that half-second, because that's where fluency is actually won or lost. Not in the vocabulary list. In the courage to let the sentence out before it's perfect.

That's why my lessons don't start with rules. They start with you talking — about your work, your week, the conversation you've been avoiding. I listen first, figure out exactly what English needs to do in your life, and build a plan that points straight at it. A band score, a job, a phone call. No generic curriculum, ever.

I work with students all over the world online, and over coffee at my workshops here in Istanbul. Different time zones, same promise: by the time we're done, that half-second disappears — and you just sound like yourself.

YOU ASKED, I ANSWERED

No question is too small, here are the ones I hear most

🎯 About the Lessons

Every lesson is live, one-on-one and built entirely around you. No textbook, no script — just a structured session designed around your goals, your level and what is holding you back. You speak, I listen, I guide. Every session ends with real feedback and a clear next step.
I offer two session lengths — 25 minutes for $12 and 50 minutes for $24. Short sessions are perfect for beginners and focused practice. Longer sessions go deeper and are ideal for exam prep, business English and advanced fluency work.
You can absolutely book a single session first — no commitment, no pressure. Pick any topic, pick a time and let's see how we work together. Most students who try one lesson book a course shortly after. But that is entirely up to you.
It depends on your goal. My courses range from 7 sessions for the Speaking Challenge to 30 sessions for advanced exam preparation. I always recommend starting with a single session so I can assess your level and suggest the right course for you personally.

📚 About the Courses

Send me a message or book a single session and I will tell you exactly where to start. I have taught students from complete beginners to near-native speakers and I can place you accurately after just one conversation.
Yes! I have courses specifically designed for kids aged 6–10 and teenagers aged 11–17. Young learners get fun, engaging sessions that build real confidence. Parents receive monthly progress updates too.

☕ About the Istanbul Workshops

The workshops are in-person English conversation gatherings held in a café in Istanbul. They are relaxed, social and a lot of fun. I host three different workshop themes — Everyday Life, Hot Topics and My Story — each one a 90 to 120 minute guided conversation session with other English learners.
Anyone who wants to practise speaking English in a real social setting. All levels from A2 to C1 are welcome — the conversations are guided so nobody gets left behind. If you live in or are visiting Istanbul, come along.
Just $15 per person. That covers the full session, conversation topic cards, a vocabulary takeaway card and a warm community of fellow English learners. You just bring yourself — and your English.
Yes, please book in advance so I know how many people to expect. Spots are limited to keep the conversation intimate and everyone gets a chance to speak.

💻 About Booking & Logistics

All online lessons are held via Zoom or Google Meet — whichever you prefer. You just need a device with a camera, a stable internet connection and the willingness to speak. I take care of everything else.
Simply choose your course on this page, pick a time that suits you and book. If you are unsure where to start, send me a message first and I will personally help you decide.
I teach students in over 43 countries so I work across multiple time zones. When you book, you will see my available slots in your local time. If you cannot find a suitable time, message me directly and we will work something out.
Yes — life happens and I completely understand. Please give me at least 24 hours notice and I will find you another time. I just ask for a heads up so I can plan my week too.
Sessions missed without 24 hours notice cannot be rescheduled or refunded. I value your time and ask that you value mine too — it keeps things fair for everyone.

🌟 About Results & Expectations

Most students notice a difference within the first few sessions — more confidence, clearer thinking in English, fewer hesitations. Real fluency takes consistent practice over weeks and months, but progress starts from day one.
I cannot guarantee a specific score because results depend on the student's effort, starting level and consistency. What I can guarantee is that I will give you every strategy, tool and piece of feedback you need to reach your target. My results speak for themselves — just read what my students say.
You will never be just another student to me. I track every student's progress, remember their goals and personalise every session based on where they are right now. Teaching is personal to me — always has been.
Honestly? No. I don't do certificates. What I do is make sure that by the end of our time together, you don't need one — your English speaks for itself.
