Very good individual classes or tuition in small groups, they respong very well to the individual needs of the students.
Other comments
Unfortunately, due to Ramadan, two and a half days of classes were cancelled - they was indeed rescheduled flexibly, but perhaps it should have been made clear when booking.

Positive aspects of school
The staff was always friendly, the facilities were well equiped, including an aircon. The school is placed in a very quiet area but it's still well connected to the metro and the bus.
Negative aspects
The group course was altered to private lessons because we've been only a few students. I think it's better to stay in a group to get in touch with each other.

We were only two students in the group and the teacher was very good, so the lessons were very intensive.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss
Unfortunately, given that we were only two students, the numbers of lessons were reduced from 4 lessons per day to 2 lessons per day, for the same price of 340 euro for 2 weeks. At Dilmer you pay the same price for a whole month, so it was very expensive and we felt a bit deceived; apparently it was indicated in the small print that this would be allowed.

The EFINST school reduces the lessons if there are less than 5 participants, in my case only half of the lessons took place, neither have they informed the students in advance, nor have they given a discount. Even if the classes get more intensive, 2 hours per day are not sufficient.

There are no other activities organised by the school. The schedule of the lessons differed, day to day. This was no problem for me but should be taken in consideration.
Other comments
I was in the same host family as a Dutch man. We share the same mother language, which is not so productive to learn the language. But I was very happy about the level at the school, it was very well adjusted. My teacher, Mehtap, was the best! The host family is very warm and friendly. We were treated like close family members!

Other comments
I took the intensive two week beginner course of Turkish course at the EF Language Centre in Istanbul, and it was excellent. Especially because the classes were small (3-4 persons) and the emphasis was on conversations, which was most valuable during the rest of my stay in Turkey! (Normally I would prefer reading and writing.) I have to say I was really surprised by the level at which I was able to speak Turkish after only a two week course!!! Downside was that the airconditioning was never working properly, which made it hard to stay focussed (given that it was > 30 celsius).

If you're planning to study Turkish then EF is the best place to do so! Our teacher was great, the method she used was a great way to learn the language. The location of the school is not very far from the metro station, easily reachable, and Istanbul is a great city!
