TEFL in Antigua, Guatemala with Guaranteed Job Placement

The highlight of the TEFL program at Máximo Nivel is the TEFL professor, Mr. Wayne. Mr. Wayne is very knowledgeable, super fun, charismatic, energetic, and he has this knack for helping you improve as a teacher. He is a really kind person who tells you exactly how to improve your teaching skills. He is always on a mission to instruct in the most efficient and effective manner, that will allow his TEFLERS to grasp the concepts he is trying to convey. He is always prepared and very professional. He is truly the best teacher I’ve had!!!! The Máximo Nivel program had great qualities, but I recommend the program to anyone solely, so that more TEFLERS get the chance to learn under such a great teacher like Mr. Wayne. He won’t just hand you grades, but he will encourage you and give you constructive criticism that will help you work towards those 100s. WAYNE, YOU RULE!!!!!!!!!

Pros:
-Instructor Wayne is a top notch master instructor brimming with knowledge.
-Application of the new knowledge by teaching a class which develop your ESL skills
-The staff is friendly and helpful

Cons:
-No technology (Pack a mini projector, it will make your life much easier)
-The location of the host family's house. It was far away in not a great neighborhood. Since it did not have an address or streets, the Uber driver were always lost and I was always lost. I moved to a VRBO after 1 week.

I volunteered with Maximo Nivel in all three countries and got to know all their campuses. I decided spontaneously on signing up for the TEFL course while I was in Antigua and I am so happy I did it!

It's true when people say that it's stressful and intense, after all it's a six months course taught in one, but it's definitely worth it and doable!
Wayne is such an extraordinary teacher who makes the course so much more interesting and enjoyable. He dedicates his life to his students and always helps along the journey. I might've quitted if it wasn't for him.

If you are looking for a TEFL course I highly recommend the one in Antigua with Wayne. You will learn all about the techniques in an interesting and enjoyable way and get to teach in front of a real ESL class. Be prepared to be fully committed to it!

Thank you Wayne for giving me the knowledge and confidence to be a TEFL teacher!

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.
