TEFL AUGUST 2025
At the start of our course we were asked what teacher in our past impacted our learning journey the most, what teacher do we inspire to be like and emulate as a TEFL teacher.
My answer is now SEAN BARTER.
Sean has made the course enjoyable and informative.
I was somewhat hesitant and nervous to enter a classroom learning environment as it’s been 20 odd years since my last classroom.
However Sean and the Máximo team made the whole experience one to be remembered.
