This book is for the over-fifty women out there who are retired or starting a new chapter in their lives. You may think it's too hard, I'm too old, or how do you teach if you don't know their language?
First, there is excellent training available, and it has been proven that you CAN learn your whole life. Secondly, a lot of cultures respect their elders, and thirdly, most countries have a little English due to colonialism and speak a mixture of English and their own language. A lot of schools have local teaching assistants.
When she was tutoring a Korean boy, his mother invited her to lunch, and she said, through a translator, that she was Too old at forty to learn English herself. Monica reacted because she was in her late forties at the time. She started teaching overseas at the age of fifty.
