About
I have been teaching alpine skiing on Palandöken's long runs for 14 years. I patiently teach every stage, from the snowplow to parallel skiing. I love working with children, and I always put safety first.

My daughter went from snowplow to parallel in two days. Coach Tolga is incredibly patient and gives kids confidence. Highly recommended.
I didn't know how to ski at all, and by the end of the first lesson I was comfortably coming down a blue run. His explanations are very clear and hands-on.
We found the instructor we were looking for at Palandöken. He's very meticulous about both technique and slope safety.
A very good instructor who explains advanced techniques well. He just prefers to work early in the morning, which can be tough for afternoon people.
My 7-year-old son loved him; when the lesson ended, he kept insisting, 'Let's go again!' He understands child psychology well.
It turns out I'd been skiing with the wrong stance for years. Coach Tolga fixed it from the ground up, and my knees get much less tired now.
