TEFL in Antigua, Guatemala with Guaranteed Job Placement

We just completed our TEFL training course for June/July. I really had no idea what to expect about the course. I had read online reviews of other courses and none of them seemed that great and didnt offer practical experience. Maximo has a wonderfully developed program and I have learned so much over these past 4 weeks. I truly feel confident to go out and teach English! Our teacher, Audra, was also fabulous. She made the class so fun; I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Our entire class (all 14 of us) got so close and we all just had a blast with each other. I recommend this class to any and everyone! There is so much to be learned and it is a wonderful experience!

The TEFL program through Maximo Nivel is fantastic. Everything about my experience, from the class, instructor, program was extremely professional and fun. The class was rigorous but the instructor was able to make it incredibly fun. We were in a big group for them--14 people but we've heard that they of classes of 3 or 4. As a person who just completed my degree in mathematics and education, my decision to take TEFL was influenced by my decision to apply to the peace corps (I was accepted while taking the course). I'm 100% positive this course has prepared me for my time abroad.

SO much fun! And SO rewarding! =D Be kind to the world and it shall be kind to you! =D I found myself in Antigua, Guatemala, and lets say the rewards were PLENTIFUL! My teachers were INCREDIBLE!! The staff was extraordinary, the people gracious and lovely. Pretty much, I would ask what is stopping you? Go. Everyone is willing to help! And in the end... You only live once. May as well experience new things, and take up new challenges! =D Cannot boast enough about Maximo! Thank you to the stars and back!!!!!!! =D

I am so happy I completed the TEFL program through Maximo Nivel. It was a very challenging and rewarding experience throughout. I learned more than I ever thought possible prior to signing up and feel more confident as a teacher. The lessons I learned I will take with me both in teaching and in life. Audra and Suzanne were both great enthusiastic teachers and often coaches who helped to bring out the best in everyone. Antigua is a delightful town that is both cozy and full of activity. I highly recommend taking TEFL through Maximo in Guatemala.

The TEFL program at Maximo Nivel was one of the most professional courses I have every attended (and that is a LOT of courses). I am 66 years old, have a bachelors and MBA and am a retired USAF Colonel. This course will challenge you, no matter what your background. The instructors were first rate and packed in the content, while keeping the course active and fun. We laughed (a lot), but we worked really hard, too. The amount of course work was intense, requiring many hours outside the classroom to be prepared and to complete the reading and writing assignments. The course culminated with practical teaching, and that is where the long hours and hard work paid off. Seeing the response from your students in a real classroom situation cemented the value achieved by taking the TEFL course. If you are thinking about teaching English abroad, there is no better place to take the TEFL course than Maximo Nivel in Antigua, Guatemala. The city is awesome and I stayed in an apartment (vice a home stay), which worked out perfectly for me. I highly recommend Maximo Nivel and the TEFL course they provide.

My experience was above and beyond all expectations of certifying with TEFL.
The lead instructor, Suzanne, the assistant instructor, Audra, the director, Sarah, and the whole office staff was exceptionally supportive of each of the student teachers and students. They truly wanted each of us to succeed, without giving us an easy break.
It was hard work, which made me appreciate my education and training. I feel very capable in my ability to teach immediately after graduating.
The bottom line ...fun! The instructors went above and beyond to include education with the joy of learning.
If I had it to do over again, I would choose this...100%. (Yes, even the grammar!)

The TEFL certification program is intense. Anyone who has done it will tell you that. However doing it at Maximo in La Antigua makes the intensive program a wonderful experience. The lead trainer, Suzanne and assistant trainer, Audra are experienced, enthusiastic and supportive. They made the course fun and interactive. Plus they model the same techniques that they are teaching--reinforcing daily the TEFL techniques that are brand new to the majority of people who have never taught ESL before.
In addition, La Antigua is a wonderful place to study. The climate is perfect, there are lots of things to do, and the landscape is beautiful.

I learned a lot o useful teaching techniques in the TEFL program. Its location in La Antigua makes it a pefect place to study. It is a challenging experience but the most rewarding one!!! I had a great time and although it is an intensive course I think the teachers are well prepared and they make learning easy and enjoyable. I highly eecommend this place if you want to get your TEFL certificate, you wo't regret it. Thanks to Maximo Nivel for making me feel welcome and for all your support, the staff is the best and to my TEFL instructor Suzanne who is very knowleadgeable and has a unique amazing way of teaching.
