Personal, Caring, Motivating, and Encouraging

I'm almost 60 years old and haven't been a student in several decades. I decided to take the online TEFL course to have an option for a flexible part-time job to do during my retirement. I was completely intimidated by online teaching and had quite the steep learning curve. The course was challenging and definitely a Masters level course. Sean (lead TEFL trainer) went above and beyond to help me succeed!! I really can't say enough about Sean's dedication and caring. I didn't know how to use Zoom or Google docs, and Sean spent hours and hours and hours coaching me through navigating the new (to me) technology. I taught in person classes many years ago, but methodologies have changed drastically too. I am still not a huge fan of online learning platforms, but I learned SO MUCH taking this course. I am truly grateful to Sean for all of his help and encouragement. I decided to also take an in-person practicum in Peru so that I can continue to learn (in person this time) from my teacher/mentor! I'm looking forward to continuing my education with Maximo Nivel this winter.
