About Us

British Side's Aim

The directors of British Side partners have extensive experience of providing quality language training in Turkey, stemming from their managerial positions in the establishment and running of the former British Council Teaching Centre.
Between 1997 and 2006 through their contribution British Council courses became a well-known brand in Turkey, setting the benchmark for quality teaching. Now with British Side their aim is to meet the continuing demand for high quality English language provision in the sector.
When British Council closed its Teaching Centre the students asked British Council Teaching Centre staff to continue providing courses. This is where the idea of British Side first began. Its purpose is to provide English teaching of the best quality while considering the needs of students and giving priority to their demands.
