TEFL Jobs in Singapore

Once a colony of the British Empire, Singapore has a long been an important center of international business and remains so today. The city is home to the second busiest port in the world and numerous global financial institutions. Singapore was founded as a British trading post in 1819 by Sir Stamford Raffles and his legacy lives on in the place names and numerous monuments around the city, the most notable of which is the Raffles Hotel, the birth place of the Singapore Sling cocktail and now a national monument. The city is well developed and heavily urbanized with the majority of people living in high-rise apartment buildings, but despite this urbanization there is plenty of greenery to be seen, with tree-lined roads, parks and nature reserves. This is due to the government’s “Garden City” policy started back in the 1960s.

During colonial times, the British brought in a large number of workers from around the world most notably China and India and the places in the city where these workers were settled have become unique districts marking the multicultural nature of Singapore. Chinatown was where the Chinese workers were settled in the city and despite many of the original buildings being destroyed due to development; the area still retains a unique flavor with colorful shop houses and temples. Little India is a delight of color, incense, spices and Indian pop music and is the place to go for delicious curries. The Arab Quarter was home to Yemeni traders and is now a bust shopping street where you can buy leather goods, Persian rugs and much more.
