Teacher from Turkey. Speaks English.
Mother language: Turkish
Hello! My name is Sumeyye, and I’m an English teacher originally from Turkey, currently teaching in Lithuania. I have a strong background in international education and hold both IB and PYP certificates, which have deepened my understanding of inquiry-based and student-centered learning.
One of the things I enjoy most about teaching is seeing the progress my students make—not just in language skills, but in confidence and critical thinking. I love creating a classroom environment where students feel safe to express themselves and take intellectual risks.
Outside of teaching, I love travelling and exploring new cultures or learning languages. I believe that staying curious and continually learning are essential—not only for students but for teachers too.

Since graduating, I have been teaching English in Lithuania, where I’ve gained valuable experience working in international and bilingual school settings. I have taught a range of age groups, primarily focusing on primary students within the International Baccalaureate (IB) framework, particularly the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and Cambridge.
