I took the Hybrid TEFL course in Cusco, Peru in November 2021. I learned so much! The online section fast tracked me for the first half of the course and when I arrived in Cusco to join the on-site students for the second half (2 weeks), I felt up to speed and on the same page as everyone else. I did feel that it was much easier to grasp the tough grammar reviews in person vs. online, and Sean was more than willing to give me mini lessons for any concept I had questions on. The practical teaching week gave me a great opportunity to put everything I had learned into action and to find my groove as a teacher. I feel much more ready and confident for a job teaching after finishing my practical teaching week and miss my students I taught already! Moving forward, I feel comforted and grateful that Sean will be there to mentor me with anything I need in the ESL teaching world and Maximo Nivel and Sean will be a great resource for me as they truly care about my success. I would highly recommend Maximo Nivel’s TEFL course, especially the Hybrid option, as it gives you the best of both worlds!
