Strong Online TEFL Program with Real Teaching Practice and Personalized Support

Before choosing Maximo Nivel, I did a lot of research into different TEFL programs. It was very important to me that I felt fully prepared by the end of the course, and Maximo Nivel offered a thorough, challenging program.

The deciding factor for me was that Maximo Nivel is the only online TEFL course I found that includes a student teaching practicum. That experience was incredibly valuable and helped me feel much more prepared.

The course also includes 10 hours of tutoring with your TEFL trainer, plus consistent support throughout the practicum and even into the job search phase. I was extremely nervous going into the practicum, but my trainer, Sean Barter, was incredibly patient and encouraging.

The course modules are locked in sequence, so you can’t skip around or preview upcoming content. At times, I found that information from later modules would’ve been helpful for earlier assignments—but I managed to work through it. Some feedback on assignments can be a bit limited or confusing unless you take advantage of the tutoring sessions (which I didn’t), so I’d definitely recommend using them.

Overall, I came away with a solid grasp of the material, and from what I’ve seen of other online TEFL courses, Maximo Nivel’s program is definitely superior. I’d recommend it to anyone who values hands-on experience and wants to feel truly prepared to teach.
