With 33 years of extensive experience in English language teaching, I have enjoyed a varied and influential career as a teacher, textbook author, teacher educator, and director. My journey began with a BA in Foreign Language Education from the Middle East Technical University, followed by an MSc in Educational Sciences from the same institution.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege to contribute my expertise to renowned institutions such as Bilkent University, Başkent University, TOBB University of Economics & Technology, and the Turkish Education Association (TED) Headquarters. At these institutions, I've played key roles in teacher training and development, curriculum design and evaluation, materials development, educational leadership, and consultancy.
