Özet:The purpose of this study is to determine whether English teachers working in state and private school experience burnout and to find out the reasons for it. The study has a mixed method design. In order to gather quantitative data Maslach’s Burnout Inventory –Educator’s Survey (Maslach,1986) was used. This study also followed a comparative research design. The required data were collected by face to face visits to schools and online survey tools. In order to compare the levels of burnout, the data from state school teachers(n=112) and private school teachers(n=112) teaching K-12 classes were gathered and analysed using multivariate analysis test MANOVA via SPSS version 20. In addition, demographic variables, including gender, age, marital status, academic level, years of teaching experience, and teaching experience in current school were investigated to determine if they were explanatory factors of burnout. Secondly, in order to collect qualitative data six teachers from both groups were interviewed (n=12) via a semi-structured interview adopted from (Güven,2013). The findings revealed that single teachers experience emotional exhaustion more than divorced and married ones. Moreover, state school teachers undergo emotional exhaustion more than private schools. State school teachers mentioned student behaviour, remote and underdeveloped working areas, not having motivated students may be the reason. However, private school teachers experience a higher sense of personal achievement in their jobs. Private school teachers are found to have issues with parental involvement, high number of teaching hours, and high expectations in their competitive environment. The findings of the current study may help private school administrators to manage the teaching workload and school managers in state schools may come with up policies to control student behaviour and some implications for policymakers were presented in the conclusion part. Keywords: depersonalization, emotional exhaustion, private and state school English teachers, personal accomplishment, teacher burnout.
