YourBeanstalk’s Opinion: Teaching English to speakers of different languages is a challenging and rewarding career for many women. Usually you will be the only English speaker in the classroom, although a few students may speak a few words of English. By helping your students learn English, you are opening up opportunities for them – they can get better jobs, go to school or college and even be able to interact with their English-speaking neighbors. This is a great career for women in all stages of life.
