Not so long ago I was chatting with a few Teflers and British English came up in conversation. They hadn't worked there and I told them of my adventures at the B.E. in Şişli -gun, knife,crazy Ronnie, rats and all. They were quite surprised and suggested that BE must have shaped up over the years.

Have you heard anything about B.E.? I searched this site and did a wee Google search. Didn't find much.

Not surprisingly, you didn't get any responses worth a damn.

The Sisli branch isn't too bad. The owner's son (Sarp??) runs it. A decent fellow, who speaks Eng. well. They tend to mix the level of their students, so it's a bit difficult to teach. The school is a lot more organised than say three years ago. Last I checked the Head Teacher was the Manager's girlfriend.

The Bakirkoy branch has a Head Teacher from New York. Seems to be a lıkeable sort.

I remember a school I worked at asking me to do a Saturday Evening class in Şişli. I also remember the DOS been quite offended at my constant laughter whenever it was brought up.

I'd rather work a Saturday night than a Sunday morning. Many teachers work Sunday morning. I used to but refuse now as I go to church then..... well ok I am old (not massive... yet)fart and can't teach with hangovers anymore.
