The brilliance of the course instructor

Wayne, my tutor 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.

Best instructor I have ever had!

The TEFL program is a hard one, this is for sure. However, Wayne is one of the most wonderful people I have had the pleasure of knowing. He is the best instructor, so very helpful, encouraging, and enthusiastic. This experience would not have been the same without him or his support. Through this course, I was able to learn more about the English language, and also how to efficiently teach the subject. Currently, I am employed at a language institute in America, and could not have felt more prepared. I owe it all to Wayne, the course, and the wonderful people I met along the way.

Amazing experience

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 important: 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 travelling alone, I felt safe during my whole stay there . You'll feel at home in no time :)

I studied Latin American Studies and Spanish in University, so working abroad was always the goal in mind. I have also been interested in teaching English for years, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to blend all my interests.
