English Teaching in Singapore
If you’re just starting out as an English teacher abroad, one of the best places to begin your career is in the wealthy country of Singapore. Unlike other destinations around the world, English teaching jobs can be found throughout most months of the year in Singapore, mainly due to a high demand and continuous flow of money. When teaching in Singapore, most schools offer teachers approximately 25 hours per week, with above award wages. If you’re looking for an overseas teaching job that still allows you to have some spare time for sightseeing, Singapore is the place for you. Or if you’d like to top up your savings and your visa allows for it, you could consider getting a part time job at a translation company on the side.

As a native English speaker, I’d definitely consider teaching English in Singapore however, being that Singapore already has people speaking Singlish and most people, at least some English. So I figure it would be quite difficult to get a role there.
