BE A WORLD CLASS ENGLISH TEACHER
It is important to understand that just because you speak English, you do not know how to teach English. Even naturally gifted teachers and those with a talent for languages must get professionally certified. Remember, a TEFL course not only makes you a better teacher, but also helps you get higher paying jobs.
The best schools to work for do not consider teachers who are not TEFL certified. This makes sense, because schools are obligated to provide their ESL students with the best educational experience possible—that is what the students [or their parents] are paying for. Schools, institutes, and universities around the world are constantly building their teaching teams and they are looking for serious teachers who are professionally trained.
If you doubt the value of a TEFL certification program, consider this… Would you really want to walk into a classroom of 25 people who speak zero English… and whose native language(s) you don’t speak… they’re staring at you… waiting… waiting for you to take charge and teach them English. Would you have your lesson plan ready? Would you be able to make them talk and teach them the nuances of English vocabulary, grammar, and phonology?
If you have been trained in the Direct Method and Communicative Approach—the methodologies utilized in Maximo Nivel’s TEFL programs—you can teach English successfully anywhere in the world. The TEFL Certification Program gives you the tools, training, and confidence to be a great English teacher!
