Turkish ๐ŸŽง Aunty the Human Calculator (Hesap Makinasi Teyze)


This episode follows the life of Evren, a Turkish Australian migrant who has hearing loss, who shares her journey of finding fulfilling full-time work. Although Evren showed an extraordinary mathematical talent from a young age,ย she never had the chance to study mathematics or gain a formal education. Following the cultural customs of her hometown, Evren married and started a family at a young age, which made self-improvement seem out of reach.

Despite her lack of formal education, Evren was always good with numbers and is like a human calculator. As she can do any mathematical process in her mind, she has earned the nickname ”Aunty the Human Calculator”. Evren found herself isolated in Australia following a divorce, now living as a single-parent in a country far from her home. However, Evren was determined to build a life that would allow her and her children to live well. Through the help of her local council and community, Evren secured a casual job as a teacherโ€™s assistant in a math club for seniors. As she gained confidence, she pursued studies at TAFE and secured a full-time job in admin within the field of accounting. She is now providing for her family as a single-parent and using her mathematical talent to lead a fulfilling life.
