Living It Cafe was founded with a simple mission: to make learning English fun, accessible, and memorable. We combine the best of education and hospitality to create a one-of-a-kind experience. With small group classes, private tutoring options, and a variety of workshops, we cater to all skill levels and learning styles.

Built to be the best, by the best

In 2020, Fouad—then an English examiner—noticed that students felt stressed and pressured in a traditional classroom setting. In response, he moved his lessons to a nearby café, blending casual chats and real-life conversations. This relaxed approach proved remarkably effective, sparking greater interest and reducing anxiety. Inspired by the success of teaching in a more natural environment, Fouad founded the “Living It English Cafe.”

Community-Focused Learning

Classes became interactive, adopting the TPR (Total Physical Response) method with gestures and natural conversations.

Growth & Transition

Initially, Fouad gave one-to-one lessons as a pastime in the café. We noticed growing interest, transitioned from private lessons to regular classes

Volunteers & Culture

Volunteers started through AIESEC and decided to stay. We focused on teaching them the local culture and creating a mutual learning experience.

Family & Responsibility

The café treats everyone as family and takes responsibility for their experience. Many are far from their families and find a home here.

Moving lessons from the classroom to a local café in Gaziantep felt like coming home. I’ve seen how sharing a cup of Turkish tea while practicing English breaks down barriers and opens the door to real connection. That sense of warmth and hospitality is what Living It English Cafe is all about.

Every time I see our students comfortably chatting in English under the soft glow of the café lights, I’m reminded that language is more than grammar and vocabulary; it’s about people. Our goal is to create an environment where diverse cultures meet and lifelong friendships begin, right here in the heart of Turkey.
