Hız Yayınları

What Hız Yayınları does

Hız Yayınları is a privately held Turkish educational publisher founded in 2015 and headquartered in Istanbul, focused on K-12 exam preparation for the country's two high-stakes standardized tests: the LGS high-school entrance exam and the YKS (TYT/AYT) university entrance exam. The core catalog consists of printed question banks (Soru Bankası), trial-exam packs (Denemeler), and advanced "Uzmanı" series books covering Turkish, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, English, Religion, History, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, and Philosophy for grades 5 through 11, with content aligned to MEB (Ministry of National Education) standards and new-generation question formats. The company layers a digital ecosystem on top of the print business, including the Hız Kütüphanesi smart-board and mobile library for teachers, Hız'la Çözüm QR-code video solutions, Hız Optik Okuma mobile optical-form scanning, and the newer Denemax online trial-exam platform.

The business operates a sales-led GTM across both consumer (Bireysel) and institutional (Kurumsal) channels. Consumer revenue comes from one-time book sales through the company's own online store, the Hepsiburada and Trendyol marketplaces, and a regional dealer network, while institutional and digital product revenue (Hızlı Okul, Türkiye Geneli Gelişim & Değerlendirme nationwide exams, Hız'li Süper Danışman analytics) runs on subscription or recurring contracts via the dedicated kurumsal.hizyayinlari.com platform. With 51-100 employees and a customer-service footprint in Istanbul and Ankara, Hız Yayınları monetizes through diversified print, digital, and institutional streams and supports demand generation with a substantial YouTube presence (460K+ Ortaokul subscribers, 65K+ Lise subscribers), TikTok and Instagram channels, school and university seminars, and participation as a main sponsor at the Istanbul TÜYAP Book Fair and university career fairs.
