“We’ve experienced a fruitful season of practicum with our mentor teacher Çiğdem Hoca in Tarabya British Schools. She did not hesitate to share her ideas and knowledge about the field, providing us with the situations where we could improve ourselves as teacher candidates. As well as benefiting from her as an experienced teacher in her field, we have developed a firm relationship with her. Not only as a mentor teacher, she always asked our opinions about everything and she was like a guide, protecting us and pushing us forward to step up. I am grateful to Çiğdem Hoca for her effort and caring us as not only interns but also as individuals.”
