Salaries and demand: Turkey and abroad
The Turkish market. Turkey's private schools, kindergartens and language centres are always looking for teachers; state schools require Turkish and a teaching licence. International schools pay noticeably more than local ones. Pay ranges move every year alongside minimum-wage revisions, which makes only the current year's numbers reliable.

You'll need a language certificate - TOEFL for English-taught tracks or TÖMER for Turkish-taught ones - plus the denklik equivalence procedure, which we handle alongside your application. Public universities may require the YÖS or SAT.
