Re Oxford as Academy Language Courses, Turkey

Unfortunately, I spent little time teaching in Nilufer, because of my family issue but my experience with Mr. Amagan and Oxford as Academy was great.

From the moment I came to Bursa, he waited for me with his assistant, took me to the hotel and next day to school which was fantastic, with great and helpful colleagues, friendly children. I got my salary a day before I was supposed to, Mr. Armagan and his assistant were at my disposal all the time for any question or problem.

I believe that all these mean comments come from mean people from other competitor language schools.

Never! Never! Apply for o job with this people ! They are dangerous! You risk to be blackmaild if you want to quit your job, but trust me after one week you will want to do so! Unprofessional approach to the teachers, they will spy on you in order to prevent you from getting a new job for better wages or just to have complet control over you and your personal life! They will see you as their own slave. They will never pay on time and their own financial interest is above your health, wellbeing and even your security! Be aware!

While Oxford as Academy, Bursa, Turkey is not a complete scam and that they actually send their teachers to work in schools, they lie to their teachers about being able to work legally in the country in order to get the teachers there, only to put them at a disadvantaged position when problems arise.

The company would tell potential teachers that they would receive a residency permit which would allow them to work. That's a lie. Residency permits DO NOT allow foreigners to work in Turkey. You need a separate work permit.

One reason the company lies is so they can save money while still getting teachers to go work for them. Teachers will only realize that they have been tricked if one of the following situation arises: 1. When they read the Turkish words in their residency permit, clearly stating that the holder is not permitted to work. 2. When a Turkish friend or colleague inform them that. 3. When they go to the police for help and get told/caught by the police.

Some other problems with this agency is that they put money over their teachers' well-being and interests.

They pay lower than average wage and never on time (you can get much higher wage and better benefits with many other companies). Their apartments are extremely small and they never fix your apartment when there is a problem.

Additionally, if you ever quit work with Oxford as Academy, they will threaten you for money (I have proof if you'd like me to show you and I have no reason to slander this company). They will say that they have connection with the police and they are going to catch you unless you pay them a lot of money. They will also turn you out of your apartment, cut off your phone and internet, and steal your things. And you will have no one to turn to because you are an illegal worker.

Do not work for Oxford as Academy. They are not honest people.

Re Oxford as Academy Language Courses, Turkey

I can confirm your story! Burcu also harassed me and when I tried to quit working for him because of the abuse, he tried to blackmail me for money and said that he would ask his police friends to arrest me and put me in jail if I don't stay working for him. I was so scared that I just fled the country! And of course he never even paid my last month of salary! So DO NOT work for Oxford as Academy!

Re Oxford as Academy Language Courses, Turkey

The one who told me these unrealthings about me and the company is having pyscoligical problems. Probably he or she is the one who didnt work with me or a person from another company who is trying to make me down with these false comments or it can be a person whom we quitted working because of his or her unsatisfactory working.
I am the only company in Turkey paying the salaries ON TIME and protecting the teachers rights even though for unsuccessful teachers.
Thats all.
I am answering this ridicilous comment only because of let the people know that if anyone wants to learn real something about me and my company then please tell me so that ı can give you my current teachers emails who have been working with me more than one year. If I were a person and a company like that, why foreign teachers renew their contract with me. We never work without work permit and we provide work permit to our teachers to work legally.

If anyone wants to contact me directly, this is my email address turuncum_olcturkey@hotmail.com

These coward and liar people are not brave people since they dont give their real names or emails. Everybody can write something for another with nick names.

The teachers who work properly and successfully with us are always happy with us.

Regards
M.Armagan Burcu

Burcu is an autocrat and thinks he can harass his foreign female employees, and his academy is a total scam.
You will be made to work illegally, live in his own house without any personal freedom for yourself.
You will not be paid on time and face all kinds of hassles to get your salary!
Forget it!!!!!!!!
