What It Is

School of Turkish is an online Turkish language and culture course provider founded in London, UK. Its goal is to introduce Turkish language and culture to learners worldwide. According to the website, it offers 13 courses, has 4 teachers, 231 students, and 10 years of experience. Its courses cover beginners, intermediate learners, travelers, and those who want to strengthen specific skills such as grammar, speaking, and writing.

Core Courses and Teaching

The course system progresses through levels such as A1, A2, B1, and B2. It also offers Summer Revision, Turkish Writing Programme, Turkish Speaking Course, Turkish Through Songs, Workshops, Private Lessons, and courses for young learners aged 5–13. The B1/B2 courses found in the collected text are delivered live via Zoom, once a week, 2 hours per session, over 10 weeks, with a maximum class size of 12 students. Classes include listening, speaking, reading, and writing practice, often using teacher-student interaction and group discussions. After class, students receive teacher-created materials, lesson notes, homework, answers, and writing feedback.

Pricing and Certificates

A sample course is priced at £160, corresponding to 20 hours of classroom learning, and is marked as a total of 40 study hours, including 20 hours of self-study. The fee also includes 4 online tests, after-class email or WhatsApp support, and an optional Participation certificate. It is worth noting that the text does not indicate that its certificate is an official language-level accreditation; it is closer to proof of course participation.

Pros and Cons

The advantages are that the course structure is clear, the small class size is learner-friendly, and it includes both progress assessments and writing feedback, as well as after-class support. The teacher page lists multiple instructors, several of whom hold Dr titles, and student reviews also emphasize that the courses are structured, patient, and incorporate cultural background. The limitations are that the courses rely on live Zoom teaching, with no clear mention of recordings; class times follow UK time, so learners in China may need to manage time-zone differences; and the collected text provides insufficient details on the specific pricing for private lessons and workshops.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is suitable for learners who want to study Turkish systematically, prepare for travel, communicate with Turkish family members, or improve their overall listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. For users in China, the website’s accessibility cannot be determined from the text alone, but since the courses rely on Zoom, there may be stability or accessibility issues when used domestically. Therefore, access from China is rated as “partially restricted.”
