What students say
Written by students about their lessons with us.
My lessons on Turbotalkers are an absolute pleasure. My tutor is a linguist who wrote his own textbook — everything flows logically and is incredibly well-organized.
I’ve been doing Turkish with Can for over a year now and the progress I’ve made has been amazing, I’m able to form complex sentences, engage in discussion, and use a large vocabulary.
You will not find a better tutor than Yağmur. She has helped me progress so much faster than I would have using other methods. … I don’t think I would have stuck with the process without her.
Furkan is a great Turkish teacher. He’s very friendly and makes the class feel relaxed and fun. What I really appreciate is that he doesn’t only teach the language—he also helps you understand Turkish culture, which makes learning much more meaningful.

Questions
How do the lessons work?
Lessons are one-to-one video calls of 25 or 50 minutes. Before each lesson your teacher sends you the link in the TurboTalkers chat.
How much does a lesson cost?
Each teacher sets their own price, shown on their profile. Your first 25-minute lesson with each teacher is half price, and packages bring the price of every lesson down by up to 10%. A processing fee of 3%, never more than $5, is added at checkout.
Can I change or cancel a lesson?
Yes, up to six hours before it starts, and the lesson goes back into your package.
Do packages expire?
Yes. Six lessons are valid for three months, twelve for six months, twenty for nine months and forty for a year, counted from the day you buy.
What if my trial lesson doesn’t feel right?
Tell us, and we’ll match you with another teacher until you find the one that fits.
How do I pay?
By card, in US dollars or Turkish lira, on Iyzico’s secure payment page. We never see or store your card details.
