TEFL in Antigua, Guatemala with Guaranteed Job Placement

My tutor, Wayne, was excellent throughout the entire course and helped massively in getting us to the finish line. It is a very difficult program, but the benefits of the hard work become clear towards the end. Everyone involved was absolutely lovely and great to talk to. The structure of the course is also great, moving methodically through grammar, teaching experience, eliciting skills etc. Overall, although tough, it is very rewarding and taught almost flawlessly, so I would certainly recommend this program.

This course is the complete package. You gain practical teaching experience, are taught how to deliver lessons, and regularly receive tailored feedback which help you identify your strengths and focus on improving your weaknesses. I was lucky enough to have the renowned Wayne as my TEFL teacher, however I am sure that whoever you may potentially end up with will be great as well. MN is a brilliant organisation that will help you all the way, and the value for money for the course is second to none.

Dive into it! it is challenging, and requires hard work, but it is doable! Wayne was/is one of the best teachers I have ever had the pleasure of learning from. He is such a delightful presence, and really helps all of his students fulfill their potential. I would not have been able to excel without him. Antigua is a beautiful city, and the people are so wonderful. During this program, I learned about teaching, but also about myself. This is a program for people who want to push themselves to become something different, something more! Thank you Wayne and Maximo Nivel!

I absolutely loved taking this course through Maximo Nivel. Wayne is an incredible teacher! He is knowledgeable, energetic, and beyond helpful with whatever you need. He always made himself available with lesson planning, ideas for lessons, job finding, restaurant recommendations and much more! The TEFL program was very structured and informative. I think Maximo Nivel does a great job with all their programs. I have taken the Spanish Immersion program in person and online. I will definitely continue to take programs with Maximo Nivel!

It's very hard to describe just in a few words how great studying with Maximo Nivel was! Everyone in the institute is genuine, kind, and very supportive. Completing a TEFL course is a lot more intense than I could have imagined (probably the most challenging 4 weeks of my life) but 100% worth it. I feel so grateful I had the best teacher: Wayne Summerbell :)

Be prepared to feel challenged (this is definitely NOT a holiday), and more importantly: be prepared to feel satisfied and happy with yourself once you've made it :)

Antigua is the most beautiful city too! It's very easy to get around. As a woman traveling alone, I felt safe during my whole stay there. You'll feel at home in no time :)

This course was incredible to me. I had 3 wonderful classmates who along with our instructor Wayne made this the most memorable experience. This is not a holiday and you get what you put into the course. Wayne was always available and encouraging as we developed ourselves into the next generation of TOEFL teachers.

As a recommendation to those who are considering this program, you should be prepared and focused. You will find this course difficult, but in the there will be success. The host family was welcoming and incredibly inclusive to make me feel comfortable. I am grateful for everyone that I have met and will continue to be a part of community of instructors and students. The rewards are endless with each student who develops their skills in learning a new language.

I had a blast doing TEFL at Maximo Nivel in Antigua, in large part thanks to my five-star instructor, Wayne Summerbell. I highly recommend this program. Believe me, it's not a walk in the park. There were moments that I doubted I could complete the tasks at hand, but those trials made the experience that much more fulfilling. Don't worry, Antigua is a very comfortable and safe place and the Maximo staff are super helpful and communicative. If you have any issue, they will be happy to help resolve it. Wayne is a gem of an instructor and there are so many fun activities to take part in throughout the week! My favorites were free Salsa class and soccer night! I've taught ESL as a volunteer for 2 years, and I still found this course to be eye opening and challenging!! You won't regret this experience and you get life time job placement assistance. It's the perfect place to start a worldwide journey teaching English. Just make sure you have instructor Wayne! He's the best :)

I had such an incredible time with Wayne as my teacher. English language is not typically something I find very interesting, but Wayne was able to make the classes fun and engaging. My entire experience was really positive despite how difficult the content was and I would highly highly recommend anyone do this course if they’re considering it. It’s a month of hard work for endless work opportunities and it’s really shaped the way I think and helped me to grow in the way communicate. The content challenged me in new ways and has left me feeling accomplished and capable.
