Ipek Cabukel

CLASS TEACHER

I graduated with a degree in German Translation and Interpreting, and my journey into teaching children began during my university years, when I started working as an ESL teacher. I also hold an ESL teaching certificate, and working with young learners has been a passion of mine ever since.

I joined the A to Z family in 2024 and have loved being part of this wonderful community ever since. I am passionate about creating an engaging and nurturing environment where children can explore language, play, and learning in a natural and enjoyable way. I absolutely love arts and crafts, and I believe creativity can be found everywhere. A leaf, a stone, a cardboard box, or something we discover around us can become part of a creative adventure. I love giving children the freedom to explore, experiment, get messy, and develop their skills through hands-on experiences. I am also a big lover of books and stories, and I occasionally try my hand at writing stories myself. I believe stories have a special way of bringing children into a world where anything is possible. I love creating activities where children don't just listen to stories, but become part of them — imagining, creating, moving, acting, and even helping to build our very own stories together.

Above all, I want to create an environment filled with curiosity, laughter, and imagination, where learning happens naturally through play, stories, music, art, and discovery. I feel very lucky to be part of A to Z and look forward to continuing to create wonderful experiences and memories with the children and families in our community.
