“I was fortunate that I was the only beginner due to the effects of the Corona and had a dedicated, careful teacher. She was able to include my interests and so the week went by in a flash. I now have a certain overview and can use very simple conversation in everyday life. It would be good if the school had the technical means that you can also hear your own pronunciation.”
Insider tip: “Already written - technical equipment to be able to hear your own pronunciation (not only on the laptop).”

“Our teacher (Tuba) explained everything very well and with a touch of humour. If the grammar was too much for you, it was always explained in detail. I can recommend the school and my teacher Tuba highly! What I found very good was that it was a small class.”

“Since I took my course during off-peak dates, I had my teacher all to myself. Great! The teaching material is much better than what I know from Germany and I can say that the two weeks were a complete success.”
Disliked
“The school is located in a building in need of renovation, but the classrooms are in order.”
Insider tip: “As long as it's still possible, be sure to visit the hills below the fortress with the old historic craftsmen's quarter. And don't be afraid of the stray dogs: they are fed and pampered and are extremely friendly and trusting.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: Getting into the language is difficult for Europeans. Especially the Turkish ending fetish takes some getting used to. So, don't give up.

“Esra is an excellent teacher. Her explanations of grammar and pronunciation are clear and easy to understand. She prioritizes listening and speaking lessons more than writing.”

“Since the paperwork is processed in Istanbul, the information may not be accurate. For instance, I was informed that I did not need a notebook or writing materials on the first day, but they were required in Izmir.”

Quality of teaching / language progress: Lesson time is short, but the pace is fast, so students require some time for review.

“Small classes - two to three pupils. Good location, in the centre of town. The textbook used was okay. The teacher was pleasant.”
Disliked
“Learning material based on the rotating status of the book - you just started where the others were. In other words, the needs or abilities of the individual students were not directly addressed.”
Insider tip: “Bring writing materials - these were not provided. And a paper map of the city if you don't want to rely on your mobile phone.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: All a bit random.

“I especially liked the central location, the teacher and the intensive language training, since I was the only student.”
Insider tip: “The most important point when learning the language is that you know many words, so that the people in the host country can understand you and you them. As a tourist it is worth to go to Efes in Izmir, to use the Asanör, to go to Kariskaya by Vapur, to visit the ethnological and archaeological museum, and of course the bazar in Kemeralti. The local restaurants also offer very tasty vegetable dishes that you should give a try.”
Details of the review
Other comments Unfortunately, since I was the only student, there were no leisure facilities at all. But due to my great host family that was no problem.
