Get to know your tutor
I graduated with honors from the Turkish Language Teaching Department at Samsun 19 Mayıs University in 2015. I then successfully completed the Certificate Program in Teaching Turkish as a Foreign Language at Marmara University. Since 2017, I have been living and working in the Netherlands.
Through my company, Turkish with Hilal, I actively teach SSST Turkish as part of the IB program at leading international schools in the Netherlands and Germany, including the International School of Amsterdam, International School of the Hague, and Berlin Metropolitan School. My regular collaboration with SSST coordinators at these international schools has given me in-depth knowledge of IB processes.
I speak English and Dutch at a B2 level. I am married and have two cats.

Why IB SSST Turkish Matters for Your Child’s Success
The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme challenges students to think critically, research deeply, and express themselves with clarity. For students whose mother tongue is Turkish, SSST (School-Supported Self-Taught) Turkish offers a unique opportunity: to study literature in their native language while meeting IB’s rigorous standards.
In the SSST pathway, students work with a qualified teacher — often outside the school — to explore Turkish literary works, develop advanced analytical skills, and prepare for IB’s demanding assessments.
How I Help Students Excel in SSST Turkish 🇹🇷
Expert guidance
Many students struggle without expert guidance — a fact reflected in the results: in 2025, Turkish SSST had the lowest average score among all IB languages (4.14/7). My students have consistently achieved higher scores than the average.
Tailored curriculum
I carefully select works that align with the IB’s requirements and are interesting to my specific students.
Proven track record
With my years of combined experience teaching at prestigious schools — including the International School of Amsterdam, the International School of The Hague, and Berlin Metropolitan School — I know exactly how to help students achieve top marks while making the most of their mother tongue.
