About Istanbul
Turkey is a modern country with an amazingly rich cultural and natural heritage that is opening its gates to the world. The rewards of living and working in Istanbul, a beautiful, fascinating, and diverse city at the crossroads of East and West, are there to be had.
Turkish parents and young people are more eager than ever to learn and use the English language. Dozens of private secondary schools and a few universities use English as the language of instruction, and many secondary schools hire native-speaking teachers. If you speak English as your first language, you are almost guaranteed a job teaching English in Turkey whether you are a new or experienced teacher. The number of students wanting to learn English far outweighs the number of English teachers, so the TESOL employment market in Istanbul, and Turkey in general, is extremely positive and timely.
