TEFL in Antigua, Guatemala with Guaranteed Job Placement

I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in teaching English! The course is challenging but every assignment, class, and practical teaching opportunity transformed my perspective on teaching and helped me grow immensely as a person and teacher in just a month. Wayne is a very kind, supportive, and dynamic teacher, and I woke up every day excited to go to class and learn new things for him! He helped make challenging topics and techniques intuitive and comfortable, and I feel very confident and prepared to go into teaching.

I could not recommend this course more to aspiring ESL teachers. Over the four weeks of this class, you will learn SO much and be pushed to grow intellectually and as a teacher. I feel so well equipped to teach English anywhere in the world now that I've taken this class. I credit the strength of this class to my teacher Wayne!! He brings joy and energy to every class, has cultivated an incredible curriculum, and is meticulously well-organized and prepared for each class. He inspires me and has helped me become a more confident and capable teacher.

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.
