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 :)

A Fulfilling and difficult yet fun experience

My experience was as full of challenge as it was with stress. But the Maximo team was always there to support. It's truly an intensive course to complete in just four weeks, but if you are studying with TEFL trainer Wayne Summerbell, have no fear. The man is genius who brought the best out of all of us TEFLers, regardless of our experience level. Know that through this experience you will meet great challenges, but you will come away with great friends and still have time to experience Antigua or the rest of Guatemala on the weekends. It's a good idea to come a week before the course, or stay a week later so that you can see more of what Guatemala has to offer. You may not have time while taking the course to many tourist activities, but you're sure to enjoy Wayne's wonderful and humorous approach to teaching! I hope some of his magic rubs off on me as I enter the field of ESL!

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.
