Information About Ebru:

Personal Description:

I completed my PhD in the Department of Sociology at Lancaster University and did my BA in economics. I have worked as a contract based lecturer in the Department of Politics at Lancaster. I am now working as a teaching assistant in the Department of Sociology and for a research project, carried out by the Institute of Advanced Studies. During my doctoral studies, I obtained a certificate of teaching and learning in higher education from Lancaster University, the Department of Education. I am experienced in private tutoring for Turkish, in preparation for GSCE exams and teaching casual learners.

I am interested in private and group tutoring in a) Turkish as a foreign language b) sociology c) politics.

Teaching Experience:

I currently do contract based lecturing at Lancaster University and previously worked as a teaching asistant in the same institution. I taught seminars of the courses, titled: Introduction to Sociology (in the Department of Sociology), Empire and Imperialism, The Creation and Destruction of Modern Europe, Enlightenment (Department of History). In addition, I also teach Turkish as a foreign language to adults and a student preparing for GSCE exams. I am experienced in private tutoring for Turkish, in preparation for GSCE exams and teaching casual learners. I also teach Turkish in the Language Company in Lancaster.

Tutoring Approach:

I describe my teaching style as systematic and interactive. This enables the student to actively engage in the thinking process and encourage them to go deeper in the philosophical underpinnings of the topic. As we go along, depending on the subject, the student is asked to relate the contemporary material (newspaper articles, books, etc.) to the topic covered in the classes. This could be (for example, reading and commenting on the news in a Turkish newspaper, or relating contemporary debates on the global financial crisis to debates on Marx in a politics class). The student is expected to follow the tutor's instructions and repeat what is discussed in each class.

Qualifications:

• BA Dept. of Economics (Bogazici University, Turkey)
• PhD Dept. of Sociology (Lancaster University) - in the area of Political Economy
• Certificate of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, Lancaster University
