Rabia Yıldırım

Educator/Teacher, Social entrepreneur

Greetings, I am Rabia. A graduate of Ankara Hacettepe University's English Language and Literature Department, I possess a keen interest in foreign languages and their history. I am also an active researcher in the fields of social entrepreneurship and global gender equality. As of now, I am serving as the organizer of TEDxZiyapaşaMahallesi in Adana, while also teaching English to qualified professionals in the business world and potential talents among high school students through hybrid learning methods.

I have a strong passion for academic learning processes, as well as teaching the English language. I enjoy helping others develop their language skills, and I find it fulfilling to witness their progress. Moreover, I have a keen interest in psychology, which has been beneficial for my studies. Understanding how the human mind works and how people learn has helped me develop effective teaching methods and connect with my students on a deeper level.

As individuals we aren't incomplete, we just need to find our ideal place to grow!

During my university years, I spent a lot of time watching TED, TEDx, and TED-Ed Student Talks with great interest and admiration. Later on, a friend of mine who had previously been involved in organizing a TEDx event inspired me to think about giving a TEDx Talk myself. I thought, "Why not?" and decided to become a TEDx organizer. In my culture, TED Talks are highly regarded as a platform for sharing knowledge and ideas, and being a TEDx speaker or organizer is seen as a prestigious achievement.

People don't know I'm good at storytelling.
