A Message from the Founder
Owning the most prestigious brand of Turkey in the education industry, Mrs. Esra ÖZTÜRK is now taking along her long years of experience in the education industry to abroad. With her 4 daughters, Mrs. ÖZTÜRK has started to be interested in foreign schools more closely after her daughters turned towards abroad for their high school education.
Starting to conduct a research on countries and the education opportunities they offer with her capacity as a “mother” in the first place, Mrs. ÖZTÜRK has combined her experiences in the field of education with this area. Mrs. ÖZTÜRK conducted very detailed researches and travelled a lot in order for her daughters to be able to receive better education and she started to share this information and experiences with other parents around her later on. Afterwards, Mrs. ÖZTÜRK decided to turn this into a professional identity and now, she is carrying on her works for the purpose of providing services at the highest level of quality for foreign schools.
With a belief that the first step of reliable education originates in “putting faith in people”, Mrs. ÖZTÜRK has adopted the roadmap of BILFEN SCHOOLS, that left 34 years behind in education, as a guide which suggests “Education is a serious work, it requires setting your heart on rather than simply knowing”. Taking firm steps towards raising questioning and reviewing individuals with fluent foreign language proficiencies and equipped with the skills of the 21st century by combining her visionary identity with maternal affection, Mrs. ÖZTÜRK has been elaborately providing foreign education counselling services.
