About Aslı İdil

Hello everyone! ^_^ My name is Asli, and I'm originally from Turkey. I moved to Australia in 2022 to pursue my PhD in Literature at the University of Queensland and have called Brisbane home ever since.

Alongside my PhD, I began teaching at the University of Queensland, where I have now gained three years of university teaching experience. I specialize in beginner Japanese language teaching and have also taught and delivered lectures in modern Japanese literature. However, my love for teaching started long before my PhD! I have tutored students both inside and outside the classroom and really enjoy adapting my teaching to different personalities, interests and learning goals.

Languages and literature have always been a huge part of my life. I am also a professional translator and have translated five books into Turkish (four from English and one from Japanese). Since 2018, I have also worked as a book editor for several publishing houses.

Whether you are starting a new language from scratch, hoping to become more confident in conversation, or looking for support with literature and academic writing, I would be very happy to help you on your learning journey!

About the lesson

My language lessons (Turkish, Japanese, English) are interactive, conversation-focused and tailored to each student's goals and interests. I believe the best way to learn a language is to actively use it, so I encourage students to speak from the very beginning while introducing grammar and vocabulary in a clear and practical way.

I have experience teaching languages both privately and at university level. In my private Turkish lessons, I have taught complete beginners from scratch and designed lessons around what each student wanted to achieve. Some students prefer to focus primarily on conversation, while others want more structured grammar, reading or writing practice. I adapt my materials and teaching style accordingly, using many activities, authentic materials and topics that are relevant to each student.

I have three years of university teaching experience at the University of Queensland, where I have taught Japanese language, particularly at beginner level. My approach is student-centred and communicative, drawing on my CELTA training. My goal is to create a relaxed and supportive environment where students feel comfortable speaking, asking questions and making mistakes.

For students seeking literature or academic support, I offer guidance in literary analysis, close reading, essay structure and academic writing, as well as detailed essay feedback, proofreading and editing. My academic background is in English, Japanese and comparative literature, and I particularly enjoy working with university students and researchers in literature and the humanities.

Lessons are typically 60 minutes, although longer sessions can be arranged depending on your goals. My lessons are suitable for adult learners and university students, from complete beginners to more advanced learners looking to improve their language or academic skills.
