Student stories

What students say

“The pre-school teaching department runs a kindergarten right on campus, so my practice hours never required a commute. My mentor teacher wrote feedback on every single lesson plan I submitted.”

Maral BerdiyevaPre-School Teaching · Turkmenistan

“I was nervous studying special education in Turkish, but Maltepe's prep year tutors drilled classroom vocabulary with me until it stuck. By the practicum I could follow individual education plans without a dictionary.”
