surely Nazif is not behind this. He used to be the benchmark in good contracts..... just ask thrifty |
Seems like he is behind it. He might be a nice guy, however, the problem probably stems from his smart consultants (too smart, perhaps). I think the reason why English Fast packed up six years ago is because some clever guy advised him to do 'distant teaching' so that he could earn easy money with a few teachers, a small number of staff and a small office - like providing health service to the British nation on the phone, which the NHS has been doing for some time under the New Labour government in the UK (when you do that you need few hospitals and doctors, but a call centre with some operators and you still collect compulsory NHS contributions - a great scheme for money saving, actually!), Anyway, a similar system would be very nice for Ulgen if it worked, but it didn't. Perhaps his advisors are the same guys who advise Tony Bliar. Never mind the b........s, they say cats have nine lives. |

The reason he packed up in the late 90s was because he was putting all the Fast money into a property development down in Izmir. After the initial outlay he found out that he couldn't build on the land because of subsidence. I know this as fact as he used to use my office for communication.(pre internet, the fax days)
btw whatever happened to yeni ufuklar? |

I think they must have found new horizons elsewhere!
I hadn't realised that Nazif (Bey)/English Fast/Yeni Ufuklar were asunder. I left Fast in Izmir in 1998, by which time they had changed location (to a dodgy one), lost SD, and were in the process of losing the other experienced native speaker teachers.
They then re-opened the old premises, started to teach only kids classes there, then seemed to revert (old premises - adult classes). When did Nazif divest himself? Who now owns English Fast in Izmir? I'm curious. |

| I left in '98 too. Seems we all jumped from the sinking ship at the same time. |
