I have just read the many blogs about New York Studio Kozyatagi Branch. Everything I read supports my own nightmare experience several months ago at that same branch. I was kept waiting for weeks trying to get units to teach from a totally incompetent Turkish scheduler. Most of the few lessons I finally got were offsite and as the other writers mention, these long periods of travel are completely unpaid. The company accommodation was a flea-infested dump and not worth the 300 lira I was charged for living there, not including community and utility charges which you never see!!!! Also, the ridiculous pay-date of the 21st. of the month means that you have to work 3 weeks in hand, which is totally inacceptable in todays market. This is by far the worst school in Istanbul. You have been warned - stay clear!
