Online TEFL Certification with Job Placement Guarantee

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!

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.

I highly recommend the Maximo Nivel online TEFL Course for everyone who wishes to acquire the required knowledge to teach English as a Foreign/Second Language. The theoretical part empowered me with teaching skills while teaching an online class - as part of the practical teaching – made me feel really confident! Moreover, the live trainer Mr. Barter significantly contributed to my upskilling related to my current role as an online English teacher, helped me to acquire digital skills and supported me to find a job!

Embarking on a career transition in one's sixties can be a daunting yet ultimately fulfilling endeavour, particularly when fuelled by a desire for change and a latent passion waiting to be ignited. The shift from a long-standing career in finance, specifically as a Senior Bookkeeper/Accountant, to the realm of Teaching English as a Foreign Language represents a significant departure, driven by burnout and a yearning for a more stimulating and personally rewarding professional path. I found all this, beyond expectation, when I took the TEFL online course. I found the course material to be comprehensive and the manner in which it was presented, made learning so much easier and a lot more fun than one would expect from doing an English teaching course. My personal trainer, Sean Barter, who is stationed in Peru, was immensely patient, extremely helpful and was more than happy to have me listen in on others' classes. The online teachers gave me invaluable advice and during my practical training, Sean guided me through with unstinting advice , not just on the teaching but also how to better use the Zoom platform. This is the best thing I have ever done and I look forward to my new life as an English teacher.

I spent quite a bit of time researching the best TEFL programs to take- a balance between something affordable yet reputable while also providing me flexibility to complete while I am currently in a full-time job. I am so grateful to have selected the right course! The online instruction was thorough yet flexible with time. I always had immediate support from the staff for any questions I had along the way as well as just friendly check-in's. I know I also selected this program because I thought the practical teaching would be beneficial to my growth and development as a teacher as well as receiving constructive feedback from the staff yet initially when I finished the online portion of the course, I got a bit anxious about the practical piece. I have to say, it was by far my favorite part of the whole course! I immensely enjoyed my week of teaching online with a great group of students. It was a great way to end the course and I received superb mentorship and advice from Sean Barter. All this to say, 10/10 recommend this course and this institution!

Máximo Nivel far exceeded all my expectations!  This course gave me the confidence and experience needed for my English teaching career.  

I was pursuing TEFL certification and one of my friends, who completed this course, recommended it to me. I went through the 3-6 month program and got a 3-month extension as needed. The course was well organized and covered everything from grammar, learning styles, teaching methodology, technical skills for online classes, lesson planning, assessing learners, and more.

I received support throughout the program from my Tefl instructor, Sean. He answered all my questions and was available for anything I needed help with.  A quick Zoom call with him put my fears to rest as he encouraged and guided me with lesson planning during my practical week of teaching. He also gave me helpful feedback after each lesson which fine-tuned my teaching skills so I could better serve my students with every lesson. 

After completion, I got my certificate, a letter of recommendation, and job-finding assistance to set me up for success. 

I highly recommend Maximo Nivel to those looking to boost their confidence and credibility.

The Maximo Nivel online TEFL program was very thorough and well done. It definitely prepared me to be able to teach. I enjoyed the self-paced modules, video observations, and support. The ability to teach class for a week through their online program was a great experience. The program was challenging enough that you feel ready to teach in-person or online when you receive your certificate.
Sean provided experienced support both during the self-paced portion when I had questions and in preparing for the online teaching experience. After each lesson I taught during the practicum, he provided me with feedback on how to improve for the next lesson.

I'm almost 60 years old and haven't been a student in several decades. I decided to take the online TEFL course to have an option for a flexible part-time job to do during my retirement. I was completely intimidated by online teaching and had quite the steep learning curve. The course was challenging and definitely a Masters level course. Sean (lead TEFL trainer) went above and beyond to help me succeed!! I really can't say enough about Sean's dedication and caring. I didn't know how to use Zoom or Google docs, and Sean spent hours and hours and hours coaching me through navigating the new (to me) technology. I taught in person classes many years ago, but methodologies have changed drastically too. I am still not a huge fan of online learning platforms, but I learned SO MUCH taking this course. I am truly grateful to Sean for all of his help and encouragement. I decided to also take an in-person practicum in Peru so that I can continue to learn (in person this time) from my teacher/mentor! I'm looking forward to continuing my education with Maximo Nivel this winter.
