EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL CREATOR
I am an ESL teacher with more than six years of experience in the education sector. I’ve specialized in elementary and secondary education. What I love the most about my work is being able to raise the next generation.
I currently prepare English practice tests for Bilfen Yayıncılık and Mucit Yayınları, and design educational material for both Canva and Mentora Education Group.

About Me
I was born in Izmir in 1994. During my early years, I developed an interest in the English language, drawing, and designing. After graduating as the top student from my high school, I pursued a degree in English and German Translation and Interpretation at Dokuz Eylül University. During the second year of my undergraduate studies, I participated in the Erasmus+ exchange program and studied at Pazmany Peter Catholic University in Budapest, Hungary. Following my graduation, I completed a three-month translation internship in Brno, Czech Republic, as part of the Erasmus+ program. I then obtained pedagogical training and began working as an English language teacher. From 2018 to 2024, I taught at Rota College, Bahçeşehir College, and TAKEV School. In 2022, I joined Canva as an Education Specialty Creator, producing digital and printable educational materials accessible to students and teachers worldwide. Additionally, I design lesson materials for Mentora Education Group and prepare English practice tests for Bilfen Yayıncılık and Mucit Yayınları. As a teacher, I find the greatest joy in crafting visually engaging and captivating lesson materials. It's an indescribable feeling to know that the materials I've created are used by hundreds of thousands of teachers and students both in my country and abroad.

My Portfolio
I design educational materials such as worksheets, activity books, presentations, flashcards, and infographics in high-resolution, customizable, and downloadable formats for Canva. You can access all the educational materials I have designed for Canva from my profile. If you are a teacher, you can obtain a free Canva for Education account to edit and download both free and pro materials from me without any cost.
I have also designed various worksheets and activity booklets for Mentora Education Group, including ages 4, 5, and all elementary school levels. While creating my materials, I pay careful attention to instilling 21st-century skills such as critical thinking and problem solving, creativity and innovation, digital literacy, cultural competence, and global awareness in students. These skills are considered essential for individuals to thrive in today's interconnected and evolving world, where technology, globalization, and continuous learning play significant roles.
