TEFL in Antigua, Guatemala with Guaranteed Job Placement

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.

This program was much better than what I expected! I learned a lot and the esl techniques that I learned are extremely useful! The location and trainers were amazing too! It was a great experience achieving my goal in a nice environment and with great people! Strongly recommeded!

I took TEFL in Jan-Feb 2015. Not only was the location of the program beautiful, but the people here are so beautiful as well. I ended up getting my own one bedroom apartment which was extremely helpful for studying. I would walk to school at 8:30 am and get a smoothie or fresh orange juice from a fruit stand along the way. I have become very well acquainted with this beautiful city, and even considered a regular at some places. I am very sad to be leaving.

The course itself was also amazing. In Antigua the classes are generally smaller, which makes for a more personal experience and gives you the opportunity to REALLY learn what you are there for. I evolved so much as a teacher in my 4 weeks at Maximo, and I wouldn't trade the experience for anything in the world. AMAZING! DO IT!

I volunteered with Maximo Nivel for 1 week in February and fell in love with Antigua. I moved back to Antigua in November and was feeling lost about my next steps. I knew I wanted to help the community further but wasn't sure how. With the help of the awesome girls from the office, Jean & Corinne I signed up for TEFL and took the leap of faith. I learned so much more than I thought possible in just one short month and now I feel incredibly confident to go out and start teaching the world. Maximo is probably the most organized company in the game. I was shocked with the amount of support they offered me in between my projects. Suzanne is the best TEFL trainer to date. If you're thinking about taking the course, stop and just do it to it.

My experience at Máximo was great. The staf was always helpful and the facilities were beautiful and clean. Most importantly, I really feel confident that I've had sufficient training to begin a career as an English teacher abroad.

My TEFL program in Antigua was all that I could ask for and more. The staff at the international office were very welcoming and informing. If I ever had a question about my staff, the girls at the front desk always had an answer and a smile.The TEFL program is very informing. I had no previous teaching experience before partaking in the Maximo course in Antigua, but after my week of practical teaching, I am confident in my ability as a teacher. I highly recommend this program to all who are interested.

Classes were a blast everyday! The teacher was really helpful and energetic. As long as you stay caught up with your work it's not too overwhelming. You have lots of material to help you along the way as well. The rest of the teachers teaching on site are also very helpful and super kind. The city was great and the host family was amazing. ALL the staff were amazing as well!
