Yes and no. This depends very much on the country, the culture, the school, the type of students the school may have, and legal requirements. It can work both ways. Some schools actually prefer more mature teachers, especially if their clientele are mainly business people.
Others consider—rightly or wrongly—that younger teachers are more "dynamic". Some countries are so desperate for teachers that age is irrelevant. EFL teachers can be any age from 18 to 80, though it has to be said that it is more difficult to find employment under 21 and over 50. Also, some countries have compulsory retirement ages of around 60 or 65. But in general, don't let the question of age put you off. With a good TEFL certificate, you will find employment somewhere.
So Guangzhou Worlda will conlude like this: just be yourself and you will make a difference.
