Sencer is as knowledgeable as anyone I have ever met when it comes to the IB DP program. He was instrumental, last year, in developing our IB program from 1 student to 30 students! He has a thorough understanding of the IB process and how to make it work. I thought I knew a lot about IB until I worked with him.
Also, Sencer is an ideal team player. With Sencer on the team, we had a very effective administration team. He spent long hours each and every day on his assigned duties and always performed them excellently.
I look forward to the time I can work with him again

Mr Sencer Donmez builds an energizing working environment. I have a very good impression when joining his TOK classes those enrich me a brand new approach and pedagogic techniques in teaching Theory of Knowledge.
Personally, I learn a lot of new things from him about teaching, collaborating and designing learning environment for IB Diploma Programme. He is my first IB Coordinator in my teaching experience. With his broad experience in IB Education World he gives a special touch for any school who want to start or develop their education system with IB Diploma Programme.

It was a pleasure to work with Sencer in one of my Tours to Turkey. He had a very pleasant personality and deep knowledge of the locations we visited. I and everyone in the group were very impressed with his insight to the historical and natural heritage of the country. His command of English language made it very easy for our American friends to feel at ease with being in a foreign land. We all looked forward to be greeted with his happy smile in the mornings. He was a very young tour guide at that time but his youth did not get in the way of his ability to work with different personalities and ages. I would love to work with him again in a project. He will be an asset to any team with his passion for the work he is doing and never ending desire to improve himself. Sencer would be the ideal person to carry a project to successful completion. I recommend him highly for any position he desires to work for.

“Sencer is the administrator who lifted up the IB program when it was just about to end (at Tarsus American College). He is not at all a standart person (in the positive way).
The way he looks at, solve and analize issues is above standarts. The one and a half year I worked together with him as a team member, has been a great pleasure for me. I have always trusted him.Because he is a person you can count on. Most of the times when I was leaving my office, I would see his light on, in his office. Working and trying to find new things, better things for the school.
To me, he is the best IB expert in Turkey.
Get him, otherwise you will regret.”

He worked there with endless affords and altruism for more than 10 years. We do not see this often in the private sector.
Over the years he improved himself a lot and made his school improve too.Sencer is a truly intellectual and empathic person. Talented.

To my opinion this is mostly because he has sincere concern for his students and for their future too.”July 18, 2012
