“The teachers are well trained and were able to teach me the content very well. They are helpful in every way, we were even picked up at home on the first day of school and taken to school. Before the start of school in Izmir, we were given a pre-test for placement in the classes. The lessons were very varied. The learning materials (books and worksheets) were well organised. The teachers speak Turkish and English. The tasks were challenging and manageable. There were always tips and advice on activities in Izmir, restaurants, special places and specialities. I am very satisfied with my personal learning outcome.”
Disliked
“The rooms are quite old and will probably be renovated soon. But that didn't detract from the lessons. There was always a place to study, there was tea for everyone in the kitchen and the atmosphere was always positive.”
Insider tip: “Meal at Meze Evi, sandwiches and burgers, coffee to go, all in the street of the school; visit to the big bazaar with the teachers”
Review details
Quality of teaching / language progress: Very good teachers Kübra and Rüya, who cater to the needs of the students. Tight learning programme, more education than holiday. I am personally very satisfied with the learning outcome.

“It was a really great organisation. I never felt alone. The group fitted together very well. It was good togetherness. We were motivated to speak, which is not always the case with language courses. The host family was a very good choice. I particularly liked the fact that I had to speak Turkish with the family. You get more out of it than if you switch to English or even German. All in all, I was more than satisfied and would recommend this school to anyone.”

“I liked everything very much. The teachers were extremely warm, absolutely patient, fit in their field and in a good mood every day. The teaching layout is also great. 3 x 1.5 hours and breaks in between works well. Since we were very quick with the teaching material, I learned a lot in the 2 weeks! I'll be back next year !!! :)”

Other comments There is no library and the material (copies) are not very readable either. The accommodations (prices) are overpriced. There are no apartments as advertised on the website. The accommodation is always in apartments with the apartment owner who also lives there himself. So similar to a WG! Is really great if you have a newer building, but set too high by the price.
