I am the daughter of an educator, having been raised at the Gazi Education Institute and proud to have attended this school during the years when Principal Atatürk visited it. The strength, entrepreneurship, diligence, enthusiasm for productivity and production, and unyielding nature of Turkish women are present in me as they are in all of us. Forty years ago, we simultaneously launched our ventures in the fields of education and agriculture. Over the years, we have adapted to the times and the present day, evolving and renewing ourselves to achieve sustainability. Our motivation to work, produce, and bring greater benefit to our country continues to grow every day.
As the founder of IQ Plus Education Institutions, we prepare both our young and adult students from many parts of the world and our students in Turkey for international exams with our Turkish and foreign teachers. On the other hand, we continue to offer our VIP courses for national exams in Turkey, which we have been running for 15 years, with a new generation hybrid model. Since opening the doors of Office Pier, which features virtual offices and meeting rooms, the feedback we have received about how we have filled a significant gap has also made us very happy.
We are delighted and excited to introduce our brand-new real estate company, İzim Consulting, to you with yet another unique concept.
TThroughout all these years of experience, I have seen that people’s lives are shaped during their ‘early childhood’. Both character and language are of great importance and should be shaped by the best, most beneficial, and most expert hands during this period. When the right content is combined with the right experts, the cooperation created in the school-family-child triangle is very important for the development of society.
At this point in our global endeavors, we recognize that the importance of learning a foreign language at an early age cannot be denied.
Inspired by all of this, and guided by our vision for society and the future, we decided to implement the most impactful “preschool education system.”
We have restored our historic İzmir mansion in Güzelyalı, inherited from the long-established Osmanzade and Kapanizade families of İzmir, and established the “Special Fig Tree Kindergarten,” where the unforgettable pages of history will echo with the voices, joy, and laughter of children. Now, with our native English-speaking teachers, our children will learn a foreign language alongside their mother tongue, gain confidence in their life skills, run joyfully in our large garden, acquire the ability to express themselves, and discover their potential shoulder to shoulder with you, their parents. We have always done our part and will continue to do so. We have opened our doors; now it’s your turn to take action. We are waiting for you to take action to make the biggest and most important contribution to the colorful world of our little ones and their future.
With love,
