I want to go and follow a course at Tömer this summer, but now I started reading about Dilmer and they seem to offer an interesting course as well.. The course periods and teaching systems seem to be more or less the same. I think Dilmer is a bit more expensive though, still have to look into that.
Anyway, now I'm doubting what I should do..
Are there people here who are familiar with courses at Tömer / Dilmer? I'd be very happy if you could share some information and experiences!

I don't know what Dilmer is. As far as I know, Tömer is an organization of the University of Ankara.

I did some research you know I was all for Tömer but then I saw Dilmer's site.
I also remember Dilmer being mentioned here, but I can't find the thread anymore..

did you try www.dilmer.com? they have course timetables there. dilmer used to be part of tömer, the method is fairly similar. tömer spreads the course over 12 units though, dilmer has only 6 which means you do more grammar in one course. prices are exactly the same though.
are you coming to istanbul? i went to tömer in antalya which was cool. in istanbul it has a bad reputation, i met some students at dilmer who changed because they didn´t like the teachers at tömer..
anyway, have fun. kolay gelsin

Thanks for your reply Ilka!
So if I understood correctly (and comparing both programs), a student at Dilmer would learn more in the same period of time? I have to wonder how they do that though, since they have the same schedule.. You think they stress more on theory then?

But what about that "bad reputation" of Tömer's teachers in Istanbul?? I never heard Tömer being associated with "bad reputation" before..

Tömer has more than one branch in İstanbul. When some students/learners, especially the spoon-feeding kind, haven't managed to learn any subject they tend to blame their theachers, schools for their own failure as they just can't admit it is their own failure. There are, of course, unqualified teachers too.
