About us
In Beylikdüzü since 2016, with three classes and two languages.
A letter from the founder
Before opening Bilingo I taught English for eighteen years. What I saw most in classrooms was that children who learnt English as a subject did not love the language: word lists, tests, right and wrong. Raising my own two children with two languages, I saw something else. Language was learnt in everyday life, when it was needed and while talking to someone you love.
Bilingo grew out of that idea: two teachers in every class, one language for each teacher. Our children hear English not in a lesson slot but at breakfast, in the garden and in songs. And Turkish is never pushed into second place; a strong first language is the best ground for a second.
We are a small school and we want to stay that way. I greet your children at the door every morning. When you come for a tour, you will most likely find me there too.
