I am a Ph.D. candidate in International Politics with over 15 years of teaching experience and a strong background in politics, law, history, and linguistics. I specialize in high-stakes exam preparation, including TOEFL, IELTS, GRE, SAT, ACT, GED, and MCAT (CARS), helping students improve critical thinking, reading comprehension, speaking, and structured writing through strategic, results-driven methods.
As a multilingual tutor, I work with students in English, Turkish, Farsi, Azerbaijani, Arabic, and Dari, allowing me to explain complex concepts clearly and adapt to different learning styles. I am also a professional interpreter and translator, working across these languages in legal, academic, and institutional contexts.
I have taught in more than ten institutes and served as a Research and Teaching Assistant at Bilkent University for four years, delivering lectures and supporting courses in international relations and history. I have also worked as a researcher at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution and published in journals such as the Journal of Contemporary History.
In addition, I have professional experience working with international organizations and programs, including UNHCR-related operations, ICMC Resettlement Support Center, and affiliated U.S. resettlement and Department of Homeland Security processes, which has strengthened my cross-cultural communication and real-world application of language and policy.
My teaching is structured, engaging, and tailored to each student’s goals—whether for exams, academic success, or professional development.
