I'm going to be finishing up my TEFL cert in the fall and my goal is to go to Turkey. I have been scouring Dave's ESL, /r/TEFL, and a bunch of other places for information on doing TEFL in Turkey and haven't found much info. I would love some tips! In regards to your actual class/school: Favorite thing about teaching in Turkey, how about least favorite? Sorry these are a little less general and a lot more nuts and bolts: What can someone with a B.A. and TEFL cert (but first time abroad) hope to make? Is this enough to hopefully find a decent position? Do you think it would be enough to live off? Is housing support/assistance common? How can you judge if a school is a decent place by Turkey standards? Is it true getting a visa is near impossible, and if so how do you get around that? Anything else you can think of about specifics of teaching in Turkey.
