Yusuf Polat

26 years teaching home economics in Istanbul

🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye
Since 1978
English, Turkish

I came to teaching late, after working as an accountant, and 48 years later I still can't imagine doing anything else. My classroom was always a bit noisy, a bit untidy and usually full of people who came for the biscuits. If we met, say hello. I'd love to know how life turned out.

More about Yusuf
