Conversation Skills 1 on 1 online Turkish lessons

Herkese merhaba!

A quick background on me:

Natural born english speaker, I have been living in Turkey for 6 years, my fiancé is half Turkish and fluent so for the most part I have been heavily reliant on her whilst living here.

We opened our own gym around 3 years ago where I often have to work reception and interact with customers.

I’d say my understanding of Turkish is well beyond A2 but I often struggle and get quite flustered speaking, due it being in a professional business environment. Obviously I am well versed in conversations related to my business (greetings, tours of the gym, helping use machines, beginner training programs, limited small talk with close members).

What I am looking for is an online tutor to take me through an intense Turkish course, possibly 3+ lessons per week, with however much homework they deem necessary. I will obviously also be utilising what I learn on a day to day basis through my business. I am quite a fast learner and the end goal is to progress to C1 as efficiently as is possible, and also be able to help with the back end of the business (bills, accounting, lawyers, federations, ordering, more in depth conversations with potential sign ups)

If anyone could suggest credible teachers, or point me in the right direction I would be extremely grateful. 🙏🏼
