There are also students who are studying in prestigious universities in Turkey thanks to my trainings for them to learn Turkish.

Perfect! Serdar is very systematic and patient in explaining Turkish grammar and structure. He is patient in reviewing concepts that we previously covered from a different perspective to ensure greater comprehension.
He keeps improve his skills in Turkish language.
He is such a guy who never leave his friends along the way. He is a good teacher , good fellow and the most important is I never witnessed him thet talking behind the people . His students must be happy to take him as their tutor.
Good luck my friend Serdar. Keep up the good work over there..
I worked as his director for almost 6 years. He was one of the most creative and hardworking teachers in the school. He always extended his time for the concerns of the students. There was a constant communication between parents and his advisory students. Aside from his teaching loads, we assigned him various administrative tasks where he also excelled. Before he left the school, he was able to gather the alumni together and create the alumni organization which is still active and getting bigger.
