Everything I could have hoped for and more

It is hard to put into words how fantastic my TEFL experience was! There were a total of seven of us in the class, and while we all came from different backgrounds, we formed a bond over the course of the month that I hope will last a very long time. It was a wonderful group of people from top to bottom. The course was well-structured and comprehensive (I never realized just how much goes into teaching a foreign language)! It was definitely challenging at times, but our instructor Karen was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. You can tell that Karen loves her job, she's bubbly and energetic and wonderful! I'm happy that I decided to take the course on site in Guatemala, as I had the chance to get a whole week's worth of practical experience teaching in the classroom. Maximo helped me update my resume and look for teaching positions in the area, and I was offered a job the day after my course ended!
