If your would-be employers do not provide accommodation, you may ask help or seek for initial accommodation to provide at the start of your work.

It will depend upon your employer. Most language schools enroll students of all ages and backgrounds. Consider all the teaching positions that come your way because each type of teaching requires different skills, and offers different rewards.
