Hi:

I am 60 years old, and I am strongly considering TESL in Spanish Latin America (possibly Spain) for about a year now, holding back while I ponder 'age' issues.

I reviewed a couple of threads to do with age here, some very good info, and I believe the consensus is there will be issues but it is being done by some people so - it's possible!

1) While there was relevant information specific to some LA countries I saw nothing specific to Chile nor The Dominican Republic, which are high on my list. Does anyone have specific information on the chances/issues in those two countries?

2) I only want to teach adults, with the intention to be able to leverage my business background into teaching specific to business people after my resume has something on it. Does limiting myself to adults limit my marketability?

3) If there are any older people who have been there and done this I would appreciate any experience on health insurance in that area of the world.

Thanks in advance.

John

You'll get more exposure to your questions if you post over on the Spain and Latin America forums.

Unless you are from the UK or Ireland you can't teach legally in Spain anyway. Much more on this on the Spain board.
