The Renaissance School of Language
Personalised, face-to-face English lessons in Bahçeşehir — planned around every student.
Our school
The Renaissance School of Language is a language school in Bahçeşehir approved by the Istanbul Governorship, Ministry of National Education. Building on our founder Banu Çelik's 20 years of experience, we teach English not through one-size-fits-all programmes, but according to each student's needs.
From General English to academic exams (IELTS, TOEFL, YDS, Proficiency, TOEIC), from Cambridge exams to Business English and English for school children, we teach face-to-face in small groups or one-to-one. Every student is offered a free one-hour trial lesson before enrolling.

Our mission
To teach English as a tool for confident communication rather than rules to memorise — by getting to know each student's level, goals and way of learning.
Our vision
To be Bahçeşehir's most trusted language school, where personalised, results-driven teaching helps students reach their academic and professional goals.
“Not just private lessons — education made for you.”
Our founder
Founder · English Teacher20 years of experience
Banu Çelik graduated from Bilkent University's Department of English Language and Literature in 2004. After completing her teaching certification at Hacettepe University's Faculty of Education, she earned her master's degree in English Language and Literature at Istanbul University.
Drawing on 20 years of teaching experience that began in private education, she teaches tailored lessons in Bahçeşehir in General English and academic exams such as TOEFL, IELTS, YDS, Proficiency, Cambridge, SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT and LSAT. For working professionals she designs Business English courses covering business correspondence, meetings, presentation skills, CV writing and speaking while travelling.
She believes English is not a set of rules to memorise but a tool for confident communication — so her lessons combine grammar with speaking, writing and real-life use.

We have no standard programme. We draw up a route based on your level, goals, schedule and learning style.
To avoid knowing the rules but freezing when speaking, we practise speaking and real-life English at every level.
We place you on the Common European Framework (CEFR) and measure your progress regularly.
At our Ministry-approved school, you can get to know us with a free one-hour trial lesson before enrolling.
Set aside a clear amount of time and budget for the course — regular attendance is the first step to success.
The course should be intensive yet planned so you can actually keep up. Using time well also keeps motivation high.
Lessons with an expert, experienced teacher, supported by audio and visual materials, make learning stick.
In a free one-hour trial lesson we'll find your level together and plan a course made for you.
