I have to say that taking the TEFL course in Guatemala with Maximo and Wayne the TEFL Instructor has been one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. It does not matter why you have decided to do it, what matters is that you have chosen the best place “to do it at” in my opinion. I had never been to Guatemala and I had truly no expectations other then the fact that I knew it was going to be life changing and I was not wrong in any way. The backdrop for the course in Antigua is breathtaking and both the staff of Maximo and the Guatemalan people are some of the nicest I have ever met. The Maximo staff goes above and beyond to ensure that your stay is comfortable and the course itself is going as smooth as possible for you. Do not think for one minute that this course is easy because it is not. But be rest assured that anything that may pop up (and things will pop up) that you have someone to go to, to support you in finding your footing or a resolution to whatever it is. Their ultimate goal is to see you across the finish line with your TEFL Certificate in your hand. Wayne the Amazing TEFL instructor at Maximo will guide you along the journey with his brilliant ability to make the material fun and the extreme amount of information that comes your way digestible. He is generous with sharing his experience and vast knowledge of the Maximo TEFL teaching method and is there with you in the trenches through the entire 4 weeks cheering you on to get you past the finish line. While taking your course you will not have time to do any of the amazing adventures in and around Antigua so be sure to plan to stay after your course is complete to do so. Thank you Maximo Staff for such an incredible life changing experience.
