Nuray Akdogan

Hi! I am Nuray Akdogan, a Senior English Teacher from Turkey, currently living in Salamanca as a PhD Erasmus researcher at the Universidad de Salamanca (USAL).

I hold a Bachelor's degree in English Language and Literature, a Master’s degree in Educational Programs and Instruction, and I am currently a 2nd-year PhD student in English Language and Literature. I also hold the globally prestigious Cambridge CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) qualification.

With over 13 years of professional teaching experience, I have extensive expertise in working with children and teenagers, including specialized experience teaching gifted and highly talented students.

Since I do not speak Spanish fluently, our communication and lessons will be 100% in English. This creates a premium "full language immersion" environment for your child, encouraging them to think, listen, and speak naturally in English. As a professional educator, I combine my deep pedagogical knowledge with a patient, energetic, and highly motivating approach to help young learners thrive.

As a professional educator with 13 years of experience, I don't just teach English—I make your child love it and feel confident using it.

Here is exactly how I will help your child and what we will achieve together:

• Active & Natural Learning: Since our lessons are 100% in English, your child will naturally start to think and speak in English without the fear of making mistakes. We will break down language barriers from day one.
• School & Homework Support: I align my lessons perfectly with your child's school curriculum (Primaria/ESO). We will review their school topics, solve complex grammar rules through simple steps, and complete their homework together so they can get higher grades.
• Reading & Critical Thinking: We will read engaging stories, dynamic texts, and fun articles together. Your child will expand their vocabulary rapidly while improving their reading comprehension skills, which is crucial for school exams.
• Engaging & Fun Methods: For younger learners, I use educational games, interactive vocabulary activities, and continuous daily conversation to keep their motivation high. No boring, repetitive memorization!

Every child learns at a different pace. I will design a personalized study plan that fits your child’s unique learning style and personality. Let's make English a fun and successful journey for them!
