Maximo Nivel

I did Maximo Nivel's course online and found this to be a very comprehensive and at times challenging program. It is well-organized and structured and I received a good foundation to do the work. There is homework and exams along the way that keep you on track. There are lots of examples and helpful videos to help with the learning process. Sean was very helpful and gave me valuable feedback. He was very nice to work with. This is definitely the way to go if you want to receive excellent TEFL training.

Jessica was wonderful! I loved every second in Guatemala and especially teaching through volunteering. I am a better teacher but really a better person because of volunteering. The students you work with are a reminder the world is still good. To future volunteers - embrace every part of it and make as many memories as you can! Definitely take advantage of the travel opportunities after work to learn more about Guatemalan culture. If you do Lake Atitlan I highly recommend Jose! The coffee farm tour was very informative and it gives you the ability to support local farmers. I also got to practice my Spanish. I can comfortably put bilingual on my things now. Thank you Maximo for everything and I hope to come back soon!

Máximo Nivel was very organized, and all were very friendly and helpful. We were able to get to the casa de huespedes easily, and the host Silvia was great and a very good cook!! The location was super and made it easy for me to figure out the buses and the route to Jocotenango. The school was very welcoming, and the English teacher, Ileana, was very nice and quickly involved us in her classes! Meanwhile, Kayla was a great support and made sure we were comfortable and moving forward throughout the week!

All in all, a great experience!!

I completed my online TEFL course a few days ago and I can confidently say it was an outstanding learning experience! A huge thank you to my trainer, Sean Barter, whose patience and expertise made the difficult parts of the course easier to comprehend. Sean was always available to give feedback, support and answer questions. I chose this course because it offered 5 hours of practical teaching, 10 hours of coaching via zoom, detailed ESL modules and so much more! I didn`t know if I had made a right decision or not, when I signed up, but as soon as I opened the first module I was pleasantly surprised- it turned out the course was informative and engaging, covering all aspects of teaching English as a foreign language and exceeding my expectation. I would highly recommend it to anyone considering a TEFL course!

A definite, need to do the course, and a great place to do it. the TEFL course was a really difficult course, never thought learning to teach my native language would be so difficult.

The teachers and course format were excellent. Maximo Nivel has a fabulous, friendly, helpful staff and a great swimming pool . Free coffee and tea all day from the snack bar, Costa Rica is roasting hot in March, and you have to know the homestays are not air-conditioned, the classroom, however, has a new air conditioning unit, which make are the hard work a bit more bearable.
