Known as one of the safest and cleanest cities in the world, Singapore is a popular destination for tourists and business people alike and offers a culturally diverse, bustling city with excellent food, well-subsidised health care and world-class facilities.A tropical climate offers uniform temperatures ranging from 22 to 35 degrees all year round, ideal for teachers working in TEFL jobs in Singapore to enjoy the numerous green spaces and nature parks that make up 10% of the country’s area.

English is the main language spoken throughout Singapore, and although all students will also speak a mother-tongue language,the majority of school and university classes are taught in English.This makes integration easy for English-speaking foreigners, such as ESL teachers, who are unlikely to experience any significant language barriers.

Dining and shopping are seen as national pastimes, with the multicultural mix of inhabitants with Chinese, Malay and Indian descent resulting in a melting-pot cuisine.Hawker centres are common and provide a number of different food stall options, generally at very reasonable prices.Although great food is a good reason to look into TEFL jobs in Singapore, the arts and sport are also very well supported by the government, with excellent galleries, performance venues and sporting grounds to experience.

Apartment living is normal in Singapore and small living spaces are common, particularly in the city centre, where the majority of TEFL jobs in Singapore will be located.Car use is restricted by the government to help curb congestion and pollution, however there are plenty of transport options with good bus and rail systems and cheap taxis.Changi airport offers a huge variety of flights and makes international travel to almost anywhere an easy option.

Although English is the language most commonly spoken, there are still plenty of opportunities for native speakers with TEFL qualifications and a bachelor’s degree to find TEFL jobs in Singapore.Those with a teaching certification from their own country or a degree in a relevant subject, such as linguistics or education, are even more likely to find work and will often attract higher salaries.

International schools offer the best salaries and conditions for ESL teachers, however, a formal teaching qualification will be needed for this type of work and as there is a lot of competition, experience is definitely an advantage.Government schools offer slightly lower salaries, but also excellent conditions such as health insurance, return airfares and accommodation allowances.These are also very competitive and must be applied for through the Ministry of Education.

Private language centres are the best option for inexperienced EFL/ESL teachers to find TEFL jobs in Singapore, although they may not offer the job security and high salaries that schools do.Many ESL teachers work in more than one of these centres to ensure a living wage and whilst they do not need a formal teaching qualification, a TEFL certification and a bachelor’s degree from their home country will still be a necessity to gain ESL employment.These establishments also often require teachers to work at the weekends and over holidays, when they are at their busiest.Many EFL teachers,however, do not have to start work until 3pm during the week.

TEFL jobs in Singapore can see ESL teachers earning salaries in the range of £2,000 to £3,000 per month, depending on experience and qualifications, which should allow for a comfortable lifestyle, particularly when living outside the city centre, where rent is more affordable.
