As Turkey strives to enter the EU, much of the population wants to learn more English, and there is demand for Native English teachers with the students being Business People, School students and younger children. Most schools are looking for for teachers with a TEFL/TESOL certificate and a degree from their own country. However you may be able to find work just because you are a Native speaker without these qualifications.
