There is no upper age limit at which you can teach. In fct, refusing someone a job based on their age is illegal in the US. In the US, the "retirement age" is usually consdered to be 65, but nothing prevents you from being able to teach beyond that age.

In the USA it is against the law to hire someone or fire someone based on age. Interviewers can not ask about your age, gender, ethinicity, language ability, religion, or origin in order to make sure that the applicant is not discriminated against unless it is a crucial skill necessary to the job (this is very rare and interviewers are keenly aware of these restrictions. They may ask about a minimum age (18 years old). If they intentionally ask for any of the above information you can probably sue for discrimination. Not a lawyer.

There is no age limit.

The problem you will have upon arrival is that while you may be qualified in your country, you will not have a valid credential upon arrival. Education in the US is a states issue, and each state certifies their own teachers. You will have to recertify to teach here. This means - a credentialing program, passing a few tests and student teaching.

good luck to you!

PLEASE STAY WHERE YOU ARE!!! Judging by your inability to write in English correctly, we do not need you here.

Take a few more years of college English before you come.

Merry Christmas!!
