Teaching Chinese/ English in Istanbul

21 years ago

Hello there,
I am a 26-year-old Taiwanese girl with a Bachelor degree of Primary education from University of Western Sydney,Australia.I also have a teaching Chinese certificate from Cultural University, Taipei. I have been managing one of the oldest and most famous leading English early childhood organizations in Taipei for two years and now in charge with the great china market for the same organization based in Shanghai, China.
I really am interested in the Turkish culture and applying for few teaching (primary) jobs in some international schools in Istanbul and Ankara. But the schools turned me down because I am not a native speaker. Even I have been teaching for a while in Sydney and am a qualified teacher in Australian educational system.
Would anyone give me some suggestions about how to get a teaching job in Turkey? I am also a qualified Chinese language teacher, perhaps someone knows a Chinese language teaching organization that might need some native speaking teachers??
Any information will be really appreciated!!!!
Thanks guys and all the best!!!
