Certified

I don't just teach English — I change the way you feel when you speak it. Confident, natural and finally free to say exactly what you mean.
“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.
