Talk:ce n'est pas à un vieux singe qu'on apprend à faire des grimaces

This translation is inaccurate. The literal translation is correct, but it means that the monkey has been making faces all its life, so it is pointless to teach him (i.e. don't give advice to a professional). A comparable (though not often used) English idiom would be "Don't teach your grandmother to suck eggs."
