Who Is This Online Turkish Course For?

Our online program is designed for a wide range of learners

🌍

Absolute Beginners

No prior knowledge required. Our A1 group course or private lessons start from scratch and build your foundation systematically using the CEFR framework.

✈️

Travellers & Expats

Planning to visit or move to Turkey? Start your Turkish online before you arrive. Reaching A2–B1 before moving makes daily life significantly easier — shopping, transport, socialising.

💼

Professionals & Business

Need Turkish for business, diplomacy, or academic work? Private online lessons can be tailored to professional vocabulary, formal communication, and industry-specific terminology.

🎓

Heritage Learners

Have Turkish roots but never formally studied the language? Our placement test identifies your exact level and we build on what you already know to close gaps in grammar, vocabulary and writing.

📚

Exam & Certificate Seekers

Need an official Turkish language certificate? All online students receive an MEB-accredited and Ascentis-recognised certificate of attendance on course completion.

🕐

Busy Adults with Flexible Needs

Group courses run Mon–Fri with classes from 08:00–20:00 Turkish time. Private lessons can be booked on any day at any hour that suits you — with as little as 24 hours' notice.

Live Turkish Lessons vs Self-Study Apps

Why learning Turkish with a real teacher gets you further, faster

Factor Royal Turkish Schools Online Self-Study Apps
Speaking practice ✅ Live with native speaker ❌ No real conversation
Error correction ✅ Immediate by teacher ❌ Algorithm only
Official certificate ✅ MEB & Ascentis accredited ❌ Not recognised
Progress speed ✅ A2–B1 in 4–8 weeks ⚠️ Years for basic fluency
Curriculum structure ✅ CEFR-aligned, A1–C1 ⚠️ Gamified, non-systematic
Cultural context ✅ Native teachers from Turkey ❌ Minimal

According to US Foreign Service Institute research, Turkish requires approximately 1,100 classroom hours to reach professional proficiency. Structured instruction with a native teacher is significantly more efficient than self-study apps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our online Turkish courses

What platform do you use for online Turkish lessons?

All online Turkish lessons are delivered live via Zoom. You will need a free Zoom account — no paid subscription required. Classes use HD video, screen sharing, a virtual whiteboard, and breakout rooms for pair practice. You will receive a Zoom meeting link before your first lesson. Zoom works on any device: laptop, tablet, or smartphone.

Do I need any special equipment?

You need a computer, tablet, or smartphone with a stable internet connection (5+ Mbps recommended). A webcam and microphone are recommended for speaking practice — most laptops and phones have these built in. Headphones improve audio quality. No other software or textbooks need to be purchased; all teaching materials are sent digitally before your first lesson.

What if I miss an online class?

Group course sessions are recorded and the recording is shared with all enrolled students, so you can review what you missed at any time. For private lessons, you can reschedule with at least 24 hours' notice without any penalty. We recommend attending every session, but we understand that life gets in the way.

Can I try before I buy?

Yes. Book a free 15-minute trial lesson to meet a native Turkish teacher, see our Zoom classroom in action, and get an initial level assessment. There is no obligation to enrol after the trial. Use the form below to request your free trial.

What levels do you teach online?

We teach all levels from complete beginner (A1) to advanced (C1), following the CEFR framework defined by the Council of Europe. Before your first lesson you take a free placement test so we assign you to the correct level group. You never have to worry about being too advanced or too far behind.

Is the online Turkish course certificate officially recognised?

Yes. Online students receive the same certificate as in-person students — accredited by the Turkish Ministry of National Education (MEB) and recognised by Ascentis (UK awarding organisation). The certificate states your level, course type, duration, and number of lessons completed. It is accepted internationally.

What are the online class times?

Classes run Monday to Friday, 08:00–20:00 Turkish time (UTC+3). This covers most European, Middle Eastern, and Asian timezones. If you are in a very different timezone, private lessons can be scheduled at times that work for both you and your teacher, including some weekend slots.

Can I switch from online to in-person courses?

Yes. If you start with online lessons and later decide to join us in person at our Istanbul or Izmir campus — or vice versa — we can transfer your remaining lessons to the new format. Any price difference will be calculated at the time of transfer. Many students begin online and then continue in person when they visit Turkey.

How do I pay for online Turkish lessons?

We accept credit/debit card (via Iyzico), PayPal, and bank transfer. Card and PayPal payments provide instant confirmation. Bank transfer details are provided after booking. All payments are processed in Euros. A one-time €50 registration fee applies to new students.

Do you offer conversational Turkish classes online?

Yes. Every online Turkish class is conversation-led — you start speaking from the very first lesson. Our native teachers dedicate most of each session to real, spoken Turkish, with grammar introduced in context rather than memorised in isolation. If your main goal is to speak Turkish confidently, choose our conversational online group classes (up to 8 students) or private 1-on-1 lessons, both delivered live on Zoom. We also run dedicated speaking-practice sessions for intermediate and advanced students.

How big are the online Turkish group classes?

Our online Turkish group class has a maximum of 8 students, so everyone gets regular speaking time and individual feedback. Groups are organised by level (A1–C1) and meet Monday to Friday with 10 lessons per week. Small groups keep the class interactive and affordable (€99/week) while still giving you the structure and accountability that self-study apps can't. New online group classes start every Monday.
