Reply from: Tuggen: Kemal, thank you for your positive feedback! I'm glad to hear you're finding the lessons helpful. Your progress is impressive, and I'm excited to continue working with you. Let’s keep building on this momentum—looking forward to our next session!
From Nick (/5): If you want to learn Turkish, choose Tuğgen. She is an excellent tutor and a wonderful person. For the past few months, my wife and I have been learning Turkish with her and both of us believe we could not have made a better choice. Tuğgen is deeply passionate about her language and culture and equally as passionate about our progression as students. She took the time to understand our reasons for wanting to learn and tailors our lessons accordingly. The lessons themselves are clear, easy to follow, challenging and fun. We know we have a long journey before we’re fluent, but we’ve found the perfect guide.
Reply from: Tuggen: Çok teşekkürler, Nick. You and your wife are enriching my life and I love teaching you both. Here is to many more years of Türkçe together!
From Lee (/5): I started lessons with Tuğgen around a month ago and honestly couldn’t ask for a better teacher! I have learned so much in such little time with her and genuinely look forward to my lessons. She explains everything so well, clearly and makes you feel so comfortable. She also goes the extra mile out of classes with voice notes and feedback on your work. I would highly recommend to anyone wanted to learn Turkish!
Reply from: Tuggen: Çok teşekkür ederim, Lee.
I am a very lucky teacher indeed and each lesson with you is a pleasure.
You’re always ready for your classes, you always do your homework and you always push yourself for the stars. Very well done!

From Emma (/5): Tuggen is an excellent Tutor. From the very first lesson I felt relaxed and comfortable and I knew I had made the right decision to learn with Tuggen. Learning Turkish is something I wanted to do for my career and already in a short time I have been able to implement my new language daily. Tuggen really takes an interest in why I am learning and ensures that important words / phrases are always included. Every lesson is a pleasure and I look forward to continuing my learning journey – Tesekkurler Tuggen!
Reply from: Tuggen: Çok teşekkürler, Emma.

From Debbie (/5): I find Tuggen to be an excellent tutor. She is very professional and extremely helpful. Nothing is too much trouble for her and I feel I can ask questions at any time which will be answered thoroughly in a way which I can understand. Tuggen is an extremely friendly person which is so helpful especially for a beginner like myself as I feel I can talk to her about my lessons and homework etc without feeling out of my depth.
Reply from: Tuggen: Merhaba Debbie, it is a pleasure for me to teach you. You are very clever and I am amazed at your speed of learning. I'm sure you will achieve your targets quickly and I will enjoy accompanying you in your journey.

From Olivia (/5): Tuğgen is a passionate linguist who is an encouraging and enthusiastic teacher who cares a lot about her pupils. I learnt Turkish a few years ago and decided to start learning again recently with Tuğgen and I’m so glad I did because she makes it so enjoyable and takes time to find out what you want to learn it for and tailors the lessons towards your needs and wants.
Thanks Tuğgen!

Reply from: Tuggen: Your enthusiasm inspires me, Kay! What a wonderful learner you are! I look forward to teaching you more so we can discuss about all sorts in Turkish. I know it won't take long. :)
From Debra (/5): I have never felt more inclined to leave great feedback for anyone. Tuggen is easily one of the best Teachers out there, as her enthusiasm and patience is a really effective combination. If in doubt for booking, do not be. Tuggen is professional, prompt, intelligent and encouraging.
I will be returning for more lessons as soon as I am able.

From Jill (/5): Excellent servıce. Tuggen is extremely professional and always sends the work she promises. I would highly recommend her
Reply from: Tuggen: Thank you. I love our lessons, Jill. You are such a brilliant learner that every class is an absolute pleasure to look forward to.
From Glen (/5): I am still a pupil of Tuggen and i will be until i am fluent in turkish, her teaching skills have made me feel confident and comfortable. If your looking for a tutor, Tuggen in my opinion is very good indeed.
Reply from: Tuggen: Thank you very much, Glen. I enjoy teaching such a pleasant, clever and enthusiastic gentleman.
From Derrol (/5): After finally taking the plunge and deciding to be pro-active about learning Turkish, it became my good fortune to decide to learn with Tuğgen.
Her teaching style inspires confidence in me as her pupil, she allows me to learn at my own pace but also subtly encourages me to push myself a little further each lesson and to develop my understanding and learning of this fascinating language. Her own enthusiasm for seeing her pupil develop is a real boost to the whole learning process and each lesson (Ders) is enjoyable but also challenging, Learning Turkish is not an easy ride but Tuğgen wants her pupils to succeed and this is very obvious in each session.
Learning via Skype has also been a real revelation to me and it feels like a very personal experience, with immediate feedback and help as against the anonymity of the classroom.

Reply from: Tuggen: It is a pleasure to teach such a fantastic learner. Extremely smart, hardworking and keen to learn. Every teacher's dream.
One of the things I appreciate most about Tuğgen is how encouraging she is. She really motivates me to dive deeper into my studies and to keep pushing myself to learn more. Her ability to inspire that kind of drive is something special and, as a teacher myself, I can say is invaluable.
Overall, Tuğgen is just brilliant. If you’re looking for a teacher who can make learning Turkish both effective and enjoyable, she’s the one.
