I am told that there are no TEFL jobs for people in their mid fifties is that true? I am considering getting my certification but I don't want to waste my time if Prague and or Europeans do not hire middle age people. Thanks

As a person in his 50's, I'd be considered "mid aged" only if I live to be 110 or so.

It depends on your personality. There are TEFL jobs for everyone. This is what a school is looking for.


1. Engaging

2. Creative

3. Enthusiastic

4, Professional

5 Motivational


If you have the ability to engage a class, why wouldn't a school hire you. However, it means that you will need to be more engaging and more open then your 22-30 year old. If you can do that and run a class, you won't have any problems at all.

I run a TEFL course in the city here and about 15 -20 percent of the students that take the course are your age. Some fair well, some don't. As long as you have an open mind, are adaptable, and have the energy to manage a class, you will do fine here.
