THE MATURE TEACHER IN SPAIN...
"I am 62, have a BA Hons.degree, Teaching Certificate + Diploma in TESOL from a UK teacher training college.I am hoping to buy a flat/house in Spain/Mallorca shortly. I have many years teaching experience in Sierra Leone as well as in Britain. For the last nine years I have worked as a Section 11 teacher in inner London dealing with children whose first language is not English.The Diploma course was rigorous and I gained an A grade but did not have a teaching component. (I have taught all ages - in Sierra Leone I taught adults and secondary). Could I find a ESOL post there do you think (preferably with young children) or would I be considered too old? Is there any country otherwise where I might be considered?"

Is Age a Problem?
| Q. I am extremely interested in teaching in Japan for a stepping stone job into a martial arts career, and as well because I enjoy helping others learn. Does my age really make a difference to be accepted into this program? I am a 20 year old male and am wondering If my age would affect my chances of getting a job?
A. While in no way wishing to promote ageism, it can be said that TEFL is, by and large, considered to be a 'young' profession. However, any employer worth their salt will be more interested in the necessary skills, qualifications and other attributes you possess which enable you to be a good and effective teacher.
