New York Studio and ELT, both have really bad reputations which can be verified by reading their reputations that others have written about. New York Studio ran by Akin in the Taxin part of Istanbul, please avoid it if you are especially female. He thinks by employing people (especially female) that their bodies belong to him and that he can use, abuse and sexually molest as he sees fit. Females not wanting this or not falling under his spell are quickly dismissed and thrown out of their apartments.

ELT, bad reputation, poor school, poor teaching, best avoided. It has nothing but a very bad reputation with regards the way it teaches and treats foreign teachers. Avoid, avoid, avoid, avoid.
