Such a wonderful place to volunteer, meet locals and immerse yourself in local culture. If you're creative, outgoing, energetic and passionate about teaching, give it a try! You'll definitely learn a lot about yourself and gain really valuable experience. One of my favorite volunteerings so far! Istanbul became home away from home thanks to this place. Thank you for everything, team! :)))

Big thanks to SII club for creating such a welcoming and engaging space! It's a great way to connect with new people, share cultures, and explore the beauty of Istanbul together. As a volunteer, I've had the chance to meet incredible individuals, both locals and internationals, and every session feels like a cultural exchange. What makes it even more special is how naturally the club becomes a gateway to discovering Türkiye. 💗 The accomodation is perfect and central and it quickly became my home away from home. The working ours are good and allow you to have freedom throughout the day

Speaking the school is a great place if you are looking for cultural exchange. People is warm and always eager to learn from you and your culture. English exchange is the perfect opportunity to develop your teaching and language skills. I would definitely come back to the city and the school.

Volunteering here has been an amazing month of my life. The accommodation is great, and the work itself has been the best. Hours are from 6pm-10pm, so you have plenty of time in the day to explore Istanbul. Teaching English (rather informally) is a breeze and is super fun, even if you don't have a lot of prior experience in the education field. The learners at the school are truly some of the most wonderful people. Overall, it is a great way to meet locals and other travelers, see the amazing city, and get in touch with the culture.

Really great placement, it's better if you spend more than 1month here. I'd say 1,5-2months would be perfect. The students will bring you in like best friends, invite you to everything and get you to try new things every day. Awesome way to know their culture, city and lifestyle. The placement has a great apartment, and the work hours are fine. If you have to go to the second branch you need to be prepare to do 1+ hour of commute.
