Hello, I'm a dedicated educator with over 20 years of experience in teaching and tutoring. Holding a BA in Islamic Theology and graduate credits in Catholic Studies, I've developed expertise in languages and religious studies. I've taught in various settings, including churches, mosques, hospitals, prisons, schools, and universities, where I've worked with diverse students and individuals. I'm passionate about sharing knowledge and adapting my approach to meet each student's unique needs.

I've taught Islamic studies to diverse groups, from beginners to advanced learners, covering classical Islamic sciences like Fiqh, Hadith, and Tafsir. I have also lectured at numerous retreats. If you're interested, I'd be happy to explore Islamic spirituality and Sufism with you.

Drawing on my strong foundation in Islamic studies, I can help you understand and appreciate the rich tradition of classical Islamic texts in Arabic. I can guide you through the works of major Islamic scholars, explain complex concepts, and provide historical and cultural context. While my spoken Arabic may not be as fluent as it once was, I can still assist with reading comprehension and textual analysis.

As a native Turkish speaker with over 20 years of teaching experience in the U.S., I've helped numerous individuals communicate effectively with Turkish-speaking people. Let's improve your conversational skills together! I'm also delighted to assist students with language-related tasks, such as language proficiency tests, essay writing, and grammar exercises.

I have attended the department of Islamic sciences (Theology) at Marmara University, Istanbul where for five years I have learned from my professors about Islamic sciences such as Hadith, Fiqh, Tafseer, Kalam, Arabic literature, Tasawwuf (Islamic Mysticism), Islamic History and Philosophy etc. I am just a humble learner and am eager to teach anyone who would like to gain insights into above mentioned subjects.
Turkish

Turkish

I was born and raised in Istanbul and therefore am a native Turkish speaker. Depending on your need I will be happy to facilitate your learning. If all you need is to communicate with natives when you visit Turkey for instance, I can make sure to start off speaking Turkish with you right off the bat. If you need to pass certain exams or have projects to submit I can help you with that as well.

Knowledgeable and patient

Mr. Mustafa is super nice and took a lot of time to ensure he was creating a lesson plan that would fulfill my needs. He also is very flexible and was willing to work around my holiday schedule. I highly recommend Mr. Mustafa if you want someone who is patient, knows what they are talking about, and is willing to work with you to make sure you are learning what you need.

Awesome Tutor

Mustafa knows what he is talking about. I needed help with my paper on Sunni-Shia differences in Islamic governance for my college class. I had many questions about this subject since I had no previous knowledge of the matter. Thanks to him I was able to understand the areas where I was struggling the most. If you are looking for an honest, patient, and knowledgeable tutor Mustafa is not going to disappoint you.

Mustafa has been teaching me the greetings and common sayings. I like that he tells me some things that people usually say, that are not in the book. He is helping me with understanding how to communicate in Turkish. I highly recommend Mustafa as a tutor of Turkish.

Excellent teacher !

Mustafa is a great teacher! He taught my 15 year old son Islamic Studies over the summer. My son has learnt tremendously within a few weeks under his guidance. He is very thorough, patient and knowledgeable. Any question that my son would have no matter how silly it was, Mustafa would answer without any hesitation and wholeheartedly. I am so glad I found him and we have him as my son’s tutor.

Mustafa has been teaching an introduction to Islam course to my 8-year-old daughter. Although my daughter has a very low attention span, Mustafa has done a wonderful job engaging her and tailored his teaching based on my daughter's level and needs. Very nice gentlemen with great patience.
