Teaching English is a challenging job that not everyone can pick up naturally. It requires creativity, patience, and knowledge of language-learning theory and language-teaching techniques. Increasingly, simply knowing English is insufficient if you plan to teach English in South America, Central America, Asia, Europe, or anywhere else in the world. Schools and institutes are demanding professional teacher training and experience.
The certification in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) or Teaching English to Speakers of other Languages (TESOL) is recognized worldwide as a teaching qualification for teachers of English as a second language (ESL), and it is now a prerequisite to teach at the best English schools. Máximo Nivel's TEFL/TESOL Certification program will show you how to effectively teach English to non-native speakers, and will equip you with the tools and practical experience needed to be successful in the ESL classroom. When you finish the TEFL/TESOL course, you will have a thorough grounding in both the theoretical and practical concepts required to teach English internationally.
