Why Teach in China
All of Jadeclass's locations are situated in China's financial capital, and the world's most populous city, Shanghai.
Shanghai is home to inumerable cultural, historic, and financial centers of interest, including Lujiazui, The Bund, Yuyuan Gardens, Soong Ching Ling's mausoleum and numerous parks, temples, shopping districts, water towns, sports and music venues, it's own Disneyland as well as the world's second tallest building, Shanghai Tower.
It has the world's longest metro system, and its two international airports and high-speed railways stations make it an inexpensive and convenient hub for hopping around all of eastern Asia.
Shanghai is also home to over 200,000 foreigners and as such English is the city's second language. Nearly everywhere you go in Shanghai, you'll see signs in English that make it easy to navigate and purchase goods and services. Indeed, even home-delivery services for both western and eastern styles of food are available in English, as are taxi-apps like Uber and Lyft, and grocery-store apps like City Shop. Having that many foreigners in one city makes it easy to find like-minded people with similar hobbies and interests and many dating apps that are popular in the U.S. are widely used in Shanghai as well.
So why not see the world while you're young? With Shanghai's low crime, low cost of living, ease of access (both physically and linguistically), and proximity to the rest of eastern Asia, you can live well, save well, and travel well all while making experiences you'll remember for the rest of your life.
