If you don't have local contacts for Turkish, it's worth getting in touch with one of the London organisations below, who may know what is available in your area as they are interested in promoting Turkish. Some schools offer Saturday classes if there is a strong Turkish community in the area. They may support young Turkish speakers so they can get a Turkish GCSE or they may know of tutors who would take on beginners. Some private exam centres will let you sit your Turkish GCSE with them, if they know of an examiner who will be able to run the speaking exam. It is worth contacting local schools with Turkish links too, as they may also be able to run the Turkish exams fairly cheaply and effortlessly if they already have native speakers available and are used to the routine of other language exams which follow the same structure.
