Learning Spanish · United States
There was a very relaxed energy — professional, but relaxed — and I felt like this teacher really gets me.
Hi, I'm Ryan Tennis, from the United States. I took Spanish lessons with Fatma for a few months and I honestly loved it — it's helped my Spanish a lot.
One thing I loved is that she speaks Spanish perfectly. She understands it deeply, and English too, and several other languages. So it's more than knowing this one language: it's a deeper understanding of languages in general.
And the other thing I loved was the atmosphere. There was a very relaxed energy — professional, but relaxed — and I felt like this person, this teacher, really gets me. That's what made me excited to go to class: to learn in an environment that was fun, relaxed and focused.

Hola, yo soy Ryan Tennis, de Estados Unidos. Tomé clases de español con Fatma por unos meses y me encantó, la verdad, y me ha ayudado bastante con mi español.
Una cosa que me encantó es que ella habla español perfectamente. Lo entiende muy bien, y también el inglés y varios otros idiomas. Entonces es más que el conocimiento de este idioma en particular: es un conocimiento más profundo de los idiomas en general.
Y la otra cosa que me encantó fue el ambiente. Había una energía muy relajada, profesional pero relajada, y sentí como que esta persona, esta profe, me entiende. Fue algo que me emocionó: ir a clase, aprender en un ambiente divertido, relajado y enfocado.
My main goal when I started English lessons was to strengthen my communication skills for work. What stood out most about her lessons is how lively and practical they are. She explains things so clearly and so warmly that learning becomes easy and you move forward quickly. The conversations feel completely natural and focused on real-life and work situations — not like a traditional class. In a short time I noticed a significant improvement in my confidence speaking and in my understanding. I learned a great deal thanks to her constant support; I especially valued that she was there both in class and outside it, at work. That is what makes the difference. Her way of teaching was so different that I enjoyed the process of learning while I was progressing.
I wholeheartedly recommend her lessons to anyone who wants to learn English in a practical, effective and motivating way.
Fatma was always one of the best ❤️Original, in Spanish
Mi objetivo principal al iniciar las clases de inglés era fortalecer mis habilidades comunicativas para el entorno laboral, lo que más destacó de la dinámica de sus clases es que son sumamente dinámicas y didácticas. Su forma de explicar muy clara y bonita que facilita el aprendizaje y permite aprender y avanzar con rapidez, las conversaciones se sienten completamente naturales y enfocadas en situaciones de la vida real y del trabajo, no como una clase tradicional, en poco tiempo note una mejora significativa en mi confianza al hablar y en mi comprensión. Aprendí mucho gracias a su acompañamiento constante, siempre valoraba especialmente que brindaba apoyo, tanto dentro de clases como fuera de ella, en el entorno laboral, eso marca la diferencia. Su forma de enseñar eran tan diferentes que lograba que disfrutara el proceso de aprendizaje mientras avanza.
Recomiendo totalmente sus clases a quien desee aprender inglés de una forma práctica, efectiva y motivadora.
Fatma siempre fue una de las mejores ❤️FairuthEnglish for work My goal was to feel more confident speaking English and to communicate better with the foreign guests who come to my hostel. What I've liked most about the lessons is being able to practise conversation calmly, without feeling so much pressure about making mistakes. We talk about everyday topics and situations I might actually find myself in, which makes what I learn genuinely useful. I've felt more confident speaking and I've learned vocabulary that helps me express myself better. I still have things to work on, but now I'm more willing to start a conversation. Fatma's patience, and the way she corrects me without making me feel uncomfortable, help me keep trying even when I get things wrong. What makes this way of learning different is that I use English inside a real conversation, putting into practice what I already know and learning what I'm missing as we talk. It's been a very pleasant, warm and participative experience, and I would recommend the lessons because they're a good way to practise, to lose the fear of making mistakes and to gain confidence using English in everyday life.

Mi objetivo era sentirme más seguro hablando inglés y poder comunicarme mejor con los huéspedes extranjeros que llegan a mi hostal. Lo que más me ha gustado de las clases es poder practicar conversando con tranquilidad, sin sentir tanta presión por equivocarme. Hablamos de temas cotidianos y situaciones que puedo vivir, lo que hace que encuentre realmente útil lo que aprendo. He sentido más confianza al hablar y he aprendido vocabulario que me ayuda a expresarme mejor. Todavía tengo cosas por mejorar, pero ahora me animo más a conversar. La paciencia de Fatma y su manera de corregirme sin hacerme sentir incómodo me ayudan a seguir intentando, aunque cometa errores. Lo que hace diferente esta forma de aprender es que uso el inglés dentro de una conversación real, poniendo en práctica lo que ya sé y aprendiendo lo que me hace falta mientras hablamos. Ha sido una experiencia muy agradable, cercana y participativa, y recomendaría las clases porque son una buena forma de practicar, perder el miedo a equivocarse y ganar confianza para usar el inglés en la vida diaria.
BillyEnglish for his hostel My goal was to learn English with teachers from different parts of the world and to have the chance to find out more about the language. What I've liked most about the lessons is learning new things I didn't know before. Something I really like about classes with Miss Fatma is that they're fun, and she always motivates us to keep learning. Thanks to that motivation, I feel I can move forward little by little, improve my English and learn new things without being afraid of making mistakes. I really recommend her lessons, because they help us improve the language and discover things we didn't know before. For me they're a 10/10. If you get the chance to learn with her, take it!

Lo que más me ha gustado de las clases es aprender cosas nuevas que antes no conocía. Algo que me gusta mucho de las clases con la seño Fatma es que son divertidas y siempre nos motiva a seguir aprendiendo. Gracias a esa motivación, siento que puedo avanzar poco a poco, mejorar mi inglés y aprender cosas nuevas sin tener miedo de equivocarme. Recomiendo mucho sus clases porque nos ayudan a mejorar el idioma y a descubrir cosas que antes no sabíamos. Para mí son un 10/10. Si tienen la oportunidad de aprender con ella, ¡aprovéchenla!
SharickLearning English She is one of the most amazing teachers I have ever had. She puts so much effort into making every class fun, engaging, and enjoyable, while always making her students feel valued and supported. She is more than just a teacher. She is someone you can trust, feel comfortable with, and genuinely connect with. Her kindness, energy, and dedication make learning Spanish such a beautiful experience. I feel incredibly lucky to have her as my teacher and truly appreciate everything she does for us. She is absolutely the best!
ElifSpanish, at school Fatma is one of the kindest teachers you will ever meet! She truly cares about each and every one of her students and does everything she can to help them succeed. Her classes are always fun and engaging, whether we're doing a class activity or watching a movie in Spanish. She always finds a way to make learning enjoyable. She helped me build a foundation in Spanish that I can actually use to communicate with people who may not fully speak English. Because of her, I feel much more confident speaking Spanish, and I'm grateful for everything she has taught me.
KaileySpanish, at school Learning Turkish with Fatma was an experience I'll always remember. She has a way of making everyone feel included, supported, and comfortable participating, no matter their level. She doesn't simply give you the answers. She guides you, helps you understand, and gives you the confidence to figure things out for yourself. There was always something different happening in our Turkish lessons, which made learning feel fun, personal, and engaging. What makes Fatma different is how much she genuinely cares about the people she teaches. She creates an environment where you can learn, make mistakes, ask questions, and connect with others without feeling judged. Everyone's experience learning with her is different, but she has a way of making it memorable. Is Ms. K a good teacher? Good doesn't even scratch the surface.
PeterTurkish, at school Spanish class wasn't a class everyone enjoyed or wanted to be in. But I did. Ever since I started Spanish, I've been inspired to further immerse myself in the language and the cultures of many Spanish-speaking countries. She was easily the greatest Spanish teacher I could ever ask for.
Fatma is always full of life and energy. She's almost always happy and excited to teach a new Spanish lesson. For my class specifically, I felt like I was the only one truly excited to be in that Spanish II class, but I never felt alone in that excitement because of the teacher herself.
She always teaches her topics clearly and understandably. I've never walked out of her class feeling like I was missing something because she would always help me reinforce the day's lesson in my mind. She's kind, sweet, and talented.
I even got to a point where I would sometimes speak to her more in Spanish than in English, and that proves to me that her teaching is effective. Even now that I'm in college, I would always want her to teach my Spanish class because I believe no one does it like her.
JustinSpanish, at school Fatma helped me a great deal with learning Spanish. The teaching methods she used were very useful for me, and she always corrected my mistakes patiently. During the pandemic we had our lessons online, and even though it was remote I got a lot out of the learning process. Fatma isn't only a very good teacher — she also has a wonderful character. I hope we get the chance to study together again one day.

Fatma İspanyolca öğrenmeme çok yardımcı oldu. Kullandığı öğretme metotları benim için çok faydalıydı ve yaptığım hataları her zaman sabırla düzeltti. Pandemi döneminde derslerimizi online olarak yaptık ve uzaktan olmasına rağmen öğrenme sürecimden çok şey kazandım. Fatma sadece çok iyi bir öğretmen değil, aynı zamanda çok güzel bir karaktere sahip. Umarım bir gün tekrar birlikte ders yapma fırsatımız olur.
