TEFL in Antigua, Guatemala with Guaranteed Job Placement

I never imagined that I would get so much from a four week course. Wayne's one of the best teachers I've ever had - with his help, all of us on the course felt very guided through the (admittedly challenging workload). I feel so much more capable of teaching after this course, particularly after the practical teaching week. It definitely put me outside my comfort zone, but for the best!
Everyone on the course was also incredibly lovely, and we were all keen to help each other out. Speaking for all of us, we all found this course pretty transformative.

This course has been so helpful. It was over 4 weeks and involved a lot of learning and teaching. The teacher in Guatemala, Wayne, was such an inspiration in the way that he taught us and the information that he gave us was very useful. His feedback after classes were encouraging, inspiring and helpful. I would absolutely recommend this course to anyone interested in teaching English as a foreign language. The resources that we were given were of high quality and I learnt so much in the actual hands on teaching opportunities.

The TEFL course at Maximo Nivel was fantastic, and I feel as though through completing it I have all the tools necessary to be a good English teacher. Though the course load is a bit heavy, the instructor Wayne made it digestible, and was overall an amazing teacher and an even better person. I can't say enough good things about Wayne, and I hope that if you decide to do the course you are fortunate enough to have him as your teacher as well, because he truly made the course as enjoyable as it was, and inspired us to teach.

To put it simply- Wayne is a remarkable teacher who truly cares about the growth of his learners. He was very well organized and explained the concepts professionally and with a good amount of humor which kept us laughing and learning.

He taught one class to us on Japanese in order for us to see the importance of the techniques and that we could truly learn some of a new language without knowing anything beforehand. This was an eye-opening experience and provided an important perspective that I kept throughout the class.

I had a wonderful experience obtaining my TEFL license with Wayne and Maximo Nivel. I couldn't have asked for a more supportive or properly challenging environment. I felt I was able to learn and grow at a pace that was appropriate for my comfort and abilities. The coursework is set up such that TEFLers can get real experience in front of students, which was a huge boost to my confidence. If I didn't have the opportunity to stand in front of students and teach, I don't think I would feel nearly as capable as I do now.
If you're looking to become an English teacher, it would be responsible of you to enroll in this program. You'll be a better teacher for it.

I thoroughly enjoyed the TEFL program through Maximo Nivel in Antigua, Guatemala. The area was beautiful and the facilities were nice. I also enjoyed having so many options for activities to do while attending the program, such as Spanish classes, hiking tours, etc. However, the course requires focused attention, especially during the last two weeks. Yet every minute spent in the course was very valuable and enjoyable thanks to the TEFL trainer, Wayne. He made the course an excellent and rewarding experience. He is an excellent instructor and will really push you to improve your skills and be the best teacher you can be. If you are serious about improving your skills as a teacher, I highly reccomend Wayne and the course at Maximo Nivel.

As someone interested in gaining experience and tools for teaching English, this program was perfect because I learned and practiced applying the techniques and methods with real ESL students. Our instructor Wayne taught us using the techniques we were learning and made the class very interactive. We observed other teachers. We learned from each other in class, and from teaching ourselves in our practical teaching week. More than theoretical knowledge it is practical and experiential. Maximo does a good job of providing opportunities for cultural immersion and social interaction.

I was not sure about TEFL or teaching English before I started this class. As the weeks went on I realized that I actually like teaching English. I don't think I would have felt this way if it weren't for the wonderful program and teacher at Maximo. I have learned soo much in this class, not only about teaching. Living in Antiqua is wonderful, the people are nice the food is grate, and it's soo beautiful. Experiencing a new culture is what tip this experience over the edge and made it truly wonderful.
