the founder
Yonca Kurt is the founder of Tech Study UK, a company dedicated to providing cutting-edge technology education and fostering innovation among students worldwide. Tech Study UK aims to empower the next generation of tech leaders through comprehensive and hands-on learning experiences.
She graduated in 2003 with a degree in Computer Education and Instructional Technologies. After graduation, she worked as a computer science teacher and has been a trailblazer in this field since 2003, serving as the educational technology manager at top schools in Turkey.
In 2017, together with her students, she was selected for the Canada Wide Science Fair held in Canada, representing Turkey. They returned triumphantly with two gold medals for two outstanding projects. In 2019, she once again led her students to international success at the International RoboRAVE Competition in Poland, winning a gold medal with a robotics project.
In 2017 and 2020, she was recognized among the most successful female educators of the year in the Women’s Leaders of Technology Competition organized by Microsoft, highlighting her remarkable contributions and leadership in the field of educational technology.
She further honed her skills by attending programming training organized by Stanford University in 2014 and 2015.
Yonca is also an official IB Teacher and participated in an official IB trainer session in Berlin in 2020.
She offers private coding lessons for high school and university students, mentoring students from prestigious institutions worldwide, including:
- From the USA: Boston University, Northeastern University, Tufts University, and more…
- From the UK: UCL, Imperial College London, Royal Holloway University, University of Surrey, Nottingham Trent University.
- From Germany: Ludwig Maximilian University
- And more…
Additionally, she provides private coding lessons to high school students across various countries, including the UK, USA, Spain, Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, United Arab Emirates, Turkey, and more.
Yonca has published four influential books in this field that inspire both teachers and students. These include “Maker Educator with Projects” and “Maker Student Education with Projects,” both focusing on coding and robotics. She also authored two additional books to support teachers with distance teaching, titled “Distance Education Must” and “Google Passwords in Education”.
