Hello, my name is Altay

I was born and raised in Maryland, but my parents were born and raised in Turkey and immigrated here in 2000. They always raised me with Turkish culture despite living in America, which gave me the ability to become fluent in both Turkish and English. Currently I am learning Chinese in school, as I know that it will be a very helpful tool later on in my life. I do many things outside of school, such as playing the piano. I have been playing the piano for 7 years now and it has really taught me to appreciate and understand music more fully. I have competed in piano competitions and even got a lesson from an international piano competition finalist once. I also do scouting outside of school, which I think is going to be one of the biggest factors in shaping who I am as an adult. In scouting I learn countless invaluable skills such as outdoor survival and craftsmanship, but above all, skills like leadership and public speaking. Scouts is one of the best ways to build a strong character and personality and I have been fortunate enough to benefit from it. Most importantly, I love teaching. I have a little brother and often help him with his homework and teach him things like math. I enjoy seeing others progress in life and helping them along their journey. Due to this, I am looking forward to working with your child and seeing them grow to their fullest potential.
