Student stories

What students say

I was nervous studying special education in Turkish, but Maltepe's prep year tutors drilled classroom vocabulary with me until it stuck. By the practicum I could follow individual education plans without a dictionary.

The English language teaching program at Maltepe put me in a real Istanbul classroom for observation in my third semester. Watching an actual teacher manage forty kids taught me more than any textbook.
