 |
|
Hey, so I have a BA and I'm going to be doing my TEFL cert at an accredited university here in the states (which also counts as grad school credit if that's important). I have minimal teaching experience, and the teaching experience I do have is non-ESL. I am currently trying to decide between Cairo or Alexandria in Egypt and Istanbul in Turkey as my goal teaching locale. I was hoping you guys could give this beginner some general tips on ESL in Turkey. First, any advice regarding the atmosphere there would be helpful, experiences, etc. More specifically, what could a starting teacher like myself hope to get paid, and is it enough to live comfortably enough (not die  )? Is it difficult to get a school that will help you with visa sponsorship? Is there anyone there now who has advice on how to get a job there when I start applying? Any help at all would be deeply appreciated!
