Turkish has no articles, so they're easy to forget. We drill them until they feel natural.
ExampleI went to cinema. → I went to the cinema.

Choose the best answer for each sentence. If you don't know, take your best guess. That's fine.
Built for Turkish speakers
We know exactly where Turkish speakers get stuck
Turkish and English work very differently. Our lessons target the six things that hold most Turkish learners back, so you improve faster.
Word order
Turkish puts the verb at the end. English doesn't. We train you to build sentences the English way, without translating in your head.
ExampleI a book read. → I read a book.
Present perfect
There's no direct Turkish equivalent of "have done", so it's one of the most common mistakes. We make it simple.
ExampleI live here since 2020. → I've lived here since 2020.
Pronunciation
The "th" sound, w and v, and short and long vowels. A native British ear hears exactly what to fix.
Exampletink → think · wery → very
Prepositions
Turkish uses one ending (-de / -da) where English needs in, on or at. We give you clear rules and lots of practice.
Examplein the weekend → at the weekend
Speaking confidence
Many students know the grammar from school but freeze when they speak. Our lessons are relaxed, patient and mostly speaking.
GoalThink in English, not translate.

FAQ
Questions? We've got answers.
Are all your tutors really native British speakers?
Yes. Every Skorra tutor is a native English speaker from the UK. That's the whole point of Skorra: you learn natural, modern British English from people who speak it every day.
My English is very basic. Can I still join?
Absolutely. We teach every level from complete beginner (A1) to advanced (C1). Tutors speak slowly and clearly, use simple language and lots of visuals, so beginners are never lost.
Do the tutors speak Turkish?
Lessons are taught in English, which is the fastest way to learn. You can ask about bookings and payments in Turkish, and our website and messages are available in Turkish too.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons are live video calls on Zoom or Google Meet. All you need is a phone, tablet or computer, an internet connection and ideally headphones. Your tutor shares notes and materials on screen.
How does payment work? Can I pay from Turkey?
Yes. Prices are in British pounds (GBP) and you pay by card through Stripe, which works with Turkish bank cards. You see the exact price, with an approximate lira amount, at the last step of booking. The free trial lesson costs nothing.
Can I cancel or move a lesson?
Yes. Let us know at least 24 hours before the lesson and we'll move it for free.
Do you teach children?
Yes, from age 5. Children's lessons are shorter, more playful and focused on speaking. Parents get regular progress updates.
