EF (Education First) reviews

The benefits are good and you don't need to have much experience to be hired so a good place for recent grads.

They give you enough support to get set up and live in a foreign country. There are lots of expats working for them there, so it's easier to make friends and be social. They also offer Chinese lessons to all their employees. The job itself isn't difficult, as long as you have a decent grasp on English and how to teach it. The salary is enough to live quite comfortably in Shanghai, go out in the evenings, shop a little and travel too. You likely won't save much over the course of a year, but that's by foreign standards, and is due more so to the exchange rate than the salary.
