About

About the Founder

I’m the founder of Research-Says, a learning platform created to help students express their ideas clearly and confidently in English.

I hold a PhD in Linguistics and have more than 20 years of experience teaching and preparing students for important exams such as IELTS, TOEFL, and YDS. I have also worked extensively with high-school students and learners preparing for high-stakes exams.

I have taught in both Canada and Turkey, supporting learners at all levels—from beginners to advanced students. My main focus is helping students improve exam writing, academic writing, and clear, well-structured expression.

My teaching style is practical and supportive. I help students understand how exam writing really works, build confidence in their language choices, and produce writing that meets exam and academic expectations without unnecessary stress.

Professional Academic Editing Services

At Research-Says, we provide expert academic editing services for theses, dissertations, journal articles, and research manuscripts across all fields. Our editing process focuses on precision, clarity, and academic tone, ensuring that your ideas are communicated clearly without losing their original intent.

We refine grammar, phrasing, and sentence flow, improve overall readability, and adapt your work to the stylistic standards required by international journals and university guidelines. Each project receives individual attention, allowing your writing to communicate exactly what you mean—effectively, professionally, and with confidence.

In addition to editing, we offer short writing courses consisting of 8–12 focused lessons, tailored to your specific needs. These cover sentence structure, paragraph development, and academic essay writing.

You may also submit an essay for free feedback using the button on the home page, or choose feedback-only services if you prefer targeted guidance without full editing.
