Scam. They will want money up front, and the job doesn't exist.
C'mon. 4,800 USD monthly plus a generous 'feeding allowance' and all those other nice perks for only
....a BA in anything OR any recognized teaching qualification?
Entry level teachers getting specialist salaries and benefits?
Total scam. |

lcanupp1964,
I wholeheartedly agree with spiral 78 - this is definitely a SCAM.
Just 5 minutes googling throws up the give away- the country website "tk".
Why would you need "no knowledge of Arabic" to teach in Turkey ?!
See a posting http://www.eslteachersboard.com/cgi-bin/forum/index.pl?re
This answers your question. |
