I am extremely please with the education and experience I gained while getting my TEFL certification from Wayne Summerbell and Maximo-Nivel. The four-week course teaches future ESL instructors to teach English through a methods that do not require the English teacher to use or know the native language of the students. As often as possible these techniques are used on the TEFL students themselves, giving them a double dose of the techniques they will be using to teach real English classes during the final week of their course.
The effectiveness Maximo Nivel’s curriculum was hugely amplified for me by the particular teacher I had. Wayne Summerbell is an extremely effective and engaging teacher who helped me find my strengths and address my weaknesses with pinpoint accuracy. He was available for lots of feedback and clarification so that my teaching abilities could keep up with the course’s accelerating workload and responsibilities. Wayne Summerbell made a real difference in my journey to becoming an independent teacher of English as a foreign language.
