Hello!
My name is Lynne Banker – I am a retired American and native English speaker
who has been fortunate to combine
my love of traveling with the rewards and challenges of interacting in
multicultural environments, from the Caribbean to Istanbul, Turkey.
Since
settling in Istanbul in 2010, I have utilized my teaching and Human Resources
background to assist corporate executives to improve their English-speaking
skills for meetings, conferences, presentations, and interviews. Additionally,
I help Turkish high school seniors, seeking admission to universities in the US
and UK prepare the required application essays.
I am passionate about helping people achieve their
'next step' – improving their English, admission to university, securing a first job, or attaining a new position.
Join
me for interesting, meaningful, conversations in a casual, relaxed environment,
covering a wide variety of topics – film, travel, current affairs, hobbies, and
why we love our pets. Also, discussion topics relevant to your academic or
professional goals are welcome.
