Being able to communicate in several languages and interact with other cultures is an essential part of modern life, in the context of globalization, the Internet, and traveling across borders. Sidestreets is a special place in the heart of Nicosia, set up to promote cultural events and language learning, and help children and adults succeed in school, in university, and in life.

 

In North Cyprus, it is especially important for professionals in business, industry, and law, as well as for students and the general public, to be able to interact and compete effectively on European and international levels and to broaden cultural perspectives beyond the isolation that is part of island life as well as of the recent history of Cyprus.

 

As the education system in Cyprus is changing and skills in English are becoming increasingly important locally, in Europe and internationally, we are focusing our efforts on helping to raise the English-language standards and skills of our young people and in the workforce.

 

All Sidestreets courses are taught within the context of the Common European Framework for Languages. Sidestreets certificates are all recognized by the North Cyprus Ministry of Education, and we also encourage students when they reach the appropriate level, to take international certification exams, such as the IELTS and Cambridge FCE (First Certificate Examination).

 

At Sidestreets, we have a reputation for providing genuine quality and value for money. Sidestreets courses are taught by international teachers who are highly qualified, experienced, and professional native English speakers, and we offer personal attention and care for our students in the most modern, spacious and pleasant learning environment.
