TESOL Express
Redeem online

Today’s Groupon: for $79, you get a 120-Hour Advanced Certificate Online Course TESOL Express (a $599 value).

TESOL Express equips English-speaking tongues to teach one of the world’s most useful lexicons to non-English-speaking students. Advanced Certificate lessons prepare learners to pass the internationally recognized Teaching Knowledge Test at their leisure with sessions available online at any time of day, which can open doors to securing English-teaching jobs around the world. Budding lexicographers pack their knowledge receptacles with lessons that break down the English language into digestible morsels, as well as with the fundamentals of lesson planning and classroom management. TESOL Express’s “specialist modules,” elective courses that reveal tips for teaching young learners and managing large classes, keep soon-to-be teachers’ minds as agile as a cheetah on a dancing television show. Additionally, a personal tutor is on hand to shepherd students through the course.

After successfully completing the course, students receive the TESOL Advanced Certificate, which they can then fold into a paper airplane and throw at a globe to divine their teaching destination. Alternatively, a contact database allows graduates to search thousands of language schools around the world to discern their ideal location. For more details, check the FAQ page here.

McMaze
St. Andrew’s
17049 Willy Allan Rd. St. Andrew’s, Ontario
http://www.mcmaze.ca/

Today’s Groupon to McMaze, located in St. Andrews. Choose from the following options:

For $10, you get two Summer Season corn-maze admissions, valid Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Sunday, September 25 (a $20 value).

For $12, you get two Pumpkin Season corn-maze admissions, valid Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. from Saturday, October 1, through Sunday, October 30 (a $24 value).

For $15, you get two Haunted North corn-maze admissions, valid Friday and Saturday nights from October 14 to October 29 (a $30 value). Reservations are required.

McMaze amalgamates family-friendly seasonal activities and sights in the country setting of a working farm. Explorers stalk the stalks of an almost-4-acre corn maze, which wanderers can navigate via geocaching from a GPS-enabled smart phone, or by sending text messages to obtain directional clues or motivational emoticons. Lights and fog infiltrate the Haze Maze, and 52 doors mystify wits and sheltered doorbells in the Door Maze. Kids can also mingle with farmyard beasts, cheer on their chosen creatures at pig and duck races, and chart a course among playground obstacles at Old McDonald’s Playbarn. The farm encourages families to fetch a picnic blanket and unload a packed lunch, as well as peruse the selection of fresh produce (not included with the price of this Groupon) to bring a piece of the farm back home without having to install a backyard mule coop.

Come Pumpkin Season, McMaze opens the pumpkin patch and a mini haunted bush walk, as well as breaks out requisite autumn decorations including indian corn, gourds, and straw. Brave hearts can go behind the backs of their cowardly owners and schedule a night in the Haunted North, where a wagon ride, more than three kilometres of corn maze, and a haunted bush walk near a reputed haunted forest bring adventure-hunters to the stomping grounds of Willy Allan’s ghost.

The flavour technicians at Southern Cross Grill rouse palates with hearty portions of grilled meat and seafood in modern dishes inspired by Mexico and the Southwest. Guests can jumpstart taste buds with an antojitos ($11.99), a baked tortilla rented out to grilled chicken, bacon, and cream cheese or with the lemon and pepper spiced ahi tuna crisps ($11.99). Under southwestern inspired tapestries and a canopy of multicolour string lights, grilled pork tenderloin ($19.99) floats, like a benevolent poltergeist, to dining tables, where it enlists a savoury port-rosemary reduction to enchant customers into involuntary chewing. Southern Cross Grill embraces its roots with a chimichanga entree ($14.99) that sequesters Mexican stewed chicken and ranch-style beans to a fried tortilla cove, and the stuffed sweet peppers ($13.99) house heaping portions of vegetables and rice drizzled with a lemon-poppy seed yogourt.
