About Program

Not all online TEFL courses are created equal—this one actually prepares you to teach.

Maximo Nivel’s Online TEFL Certification goes far beyond theory. It’s a self-paced, comprehensive program combining flexibility with real, personalized support. While most online TEFL courses rely on automated lessons and passive content, we offer one-on-one coaching with experienced trainers. You’ll get detailed feedback via our LMS, email, and live Zoom sessions—so you're never on your own.

Best of all, our practical teaching module gives you real experience. You’ll teach live English classes online, observed by your trainer, who provides personalized guidance to strengthen your teaching skills—from classroom presence to lesson planning.

This is more than just an online course—it’s a full TEFL certification designed to help you succeed in real classrooms around the world.

Great Course and Staff

The Maximo Nivel online TEFL course was comprehensive and hugely informative. This course gave me all the necessary tools to teach English as a second language. The layout of the course was easy to navigate and arranged in such a way that the course work never seemed too daunting or unachievable in any way. Additionally, the support I received throughout the course was amazing. My trainer MacKenzie was always only an email away, and gave great advice during the process. I recommend this course to anyone seeking a TEFL certification.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
If you have a little extra money to spare, taking an in-person TEFL course is super fun and leads to meeting tons of new friends.
Pros
  • Accessibility
Cons
  • Rigorous studying

Great online TEFL, followed by job opportunities.

I took up the Maximo Nivel online TEFL course after A LOT of research. It seems the online TEFL world is full of scams, and Maximo combined the reassurance of learning from an established ESL institution with a great price. They really know what they're doing from seasoned experience in the classroom, teaching the same techniques that work for them in the institute.

I know this because after completing my TEFL, I was offered a job in Cusco, Peru. It's been a fantastic opportunity to put what I learned into practice, and so I know fully well just how effective the teaching of this online course is.

What would you improve about this program?
The only thing that could be improved, in my opinion, is the removal of infrequent bugs. Sometimes I would complete the content of a module, but would need to scroll back over the content for it to register as completed and allow me to move on.

That's it. That's the only thing.
Pros
  • Personal tutor was readily available to help.
  • Self-paced.
  • Well-explained and well-tested content.
Cons
  • Occasional software bugs
  • That's it.
  • No, really, that's it.

Online with Maximo Nivel!

I really enjoyed my online TEFL course with Maximo Nivel! The flexibility of the online format allowed me to complete the course while working full-time, and my advisor, Sean, was able to meet whenever I needed. Even with the online format, the quality of the course content was high. A friend who works in higher education reviewed the materials and commented that much of what was taught would take one or more U.S. college courses to complete, as opposed to getting it all with the certification. The week of virtual practical teaching allowed me to grow as an educator and feel confident moving forward that I have what it takes to manage a classroom, virtual OR in person. I look forward to finding my first TEFL job and starting to teach!

certificate program

I could not have asked for a better experience than with MaximoNivel. I researched many programs, but liked the self paced program. Audra, my trainer, was right there with me the whole way. Her feedback was always helpful, giving me the best opportunity to pass the course with the skill set needed to become an effective teacher. Her support made the experience positive and challenging. I would highly recommend the program whether it be in class or online. The opportunities are endless with the training received!

What would you improve about this program?
Absolutely nothing! The experience and knowledge gained was more than expected.

The Online Course was AMAZING

I loved taking the online course! My instructor, Audra, was so helpful and patient with me. It was great that I could do the work on my own time and not feel rushed. I also loved the 6 hours of teaching via Zoom, as it was really beneficial in improving my teaching skills. I was a recent college grad when I started the course and by the end I was taking it while working a full-time job, so it's really adaptable for all kinds of lifestyles. I would absolutely recommend taking the online certification course if you don't have the time or money to go somewhere to take it!

It worked out perfectly!

I ended up choosing to do the online TEFL course a couple months ago when I was in university and decided I wanted to teach abroad when I graduated. I chose the online course as opposed to in person because I needed the flexibility of staying in my city to finish school, and also the availability to work around other classes I was taking. It worked out perfectly! I had never written a lesson plan before the course and now I feel so confident and excited for the job I am starting in Cusco, the job Maximo Nivel and my instructor Audra helped me get!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I was SO nervous for the practical training but my student was AMAZING and my instructor double checked my lesson plan which was really helpful!

Online TEFL certification program

It has been a great experience! All the materials provided are so useful and truly accurate. Everything is really well-organized and the online course is so pleasant. It is a privilege to benefit from the program delivered by Máximo Nivel. You can really improve your teaching skills, become more creative as you prepare your class... In addition to this, it is an excellent way to reach teaching a language without knowing the mother tongue of the student - which can seem to be a big challenge, but MN makes it possible and in a very funny way ! Everyone would enjoy and would be passionate!

best decision ever made

Before this class I had taught in Spain for 2 years. I thought this class would be very easy and I'd fly through it. It was quite the opposite. I learned so much about myself and teaching, as well as speaking the English language in general. I work full time and have other responsibilities but the instructors really work with you to make sure you succeed. Audra, my particular instructor was very patient and accommodating. This program really prepared me for the classroom. The tools I gained from this coarse will be useful for a lifetime in all areas of my life.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I was told to redo an assignment I felt I put my everything in, 3 times. After the third time I wanted to quit, I even wrote an email saying I wanted to quit. I overcame it by talking with the instructor, telling her what was happening, discussing the assignment, and taking thier notes into consideration.
