Hello, I am Oya Şahinoğlu. I graduated from Istanbul University with a degree in English and I hold an MA in English Literature and Culture. I have been a teacher for 22 years, and I have participated in language seminars abroad, including a 2012 England seminar on developing oral fluency and a Malta language course where I served as group leader. I also do voiceover work and dubbing, including voicing book summaries for KitUP, and I speak Italian and French at beginner/intermediate levels. I am passionate about languages and education, and I love helping learners achieve their goals. I have taught learners ranging from children to adults, and I bring energy, curiosity, and creativity to the classroom. I am seeking to continue my career in a secondary school or college setting, where I can blend language instruction with engaging, student-centered methodologies.
