TEFL Certification in Cusco, Peru with Job Placement Guarantee

I am incredibly happy I chose complete my TEFL at Maximo. I not only learned so much, but was able to practice and receive feedback while completing the course. Christina was one of the best teachers I have ever had, in any type of school. The amount of care and thoughtfulness she puts not only into her lesson plans, but into her students was immeasurable. Christina always did, and continues to care about my growth and offers support emotionally and professionally. I don’t think I would’ve been properly prepared to teach in a foreign country without her and Maximo’s guidance. Everyone from my teachers, the international staff and academic staff played a positive role in my pursuit to be TEFL certified.

I have never taken a course or class where I applied everything that I was learning. It has been a good experience. I feel that I am prepared to teach an English class. The practical teaching was very helpful to make the idea of teaching a class not seem so daunting. I really enjoyed getting to teach adults and help people learn as I learned myself.

We practiced the techniques that we were being taught, as well as preparing for future jobs through job hunting advice that was helpful. Understanding the world ESL program and what they look like in different countries was helpful.

As an educator with many years of practical and academic experience in education, I highly recommend the Maximo Nivel TEFL program in Cusco, Peru. The course was rigorous and serious. But my classmates and I received a lot of support from the instructors, Sean and Christina. There was a good balance between seat work, where we learned the theory, and practical work (mini-lessons and classroom teaching) where we practiced what we had been taught. Besides the content, the program (and instructors) build a strong community among my classmates that added to the learning. I would recommend the program without qualification.

I have been in the ESL field for many years and joined this four-week in-class course with this amazing instructor. The TEFL-ers came from different countries and different backgrounds. Our instructor was fun and full of knowledge and he guided us gently on a road full of exciting techniques to improve our STT in our classrooms. I've always had a great rapport with my students, but now I have learned to increase my STT to a higher level and the results are amazing. My students love the new techniques I've learned and I feel proud and happy after each class! Well done Maximo, and thank you for making me a better teacher!

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Maximo Nivel taking the TEFL course. We had a lot of good times in class. There was lots of laughter and conversation. Sean was the best trainer, teaching by example, always there to help us, super supportive and encouraging. He is an excellent teacher and I learned a whole lot more than I ever thought I would. I'm forever grateful for the good memories and practical ESL teaching skills I gained at Maximo Nivel. I'm also grateful for their continued support in finding the right ESL teaching jobs. I know I can always count on them to help me find the right job.

I thoroughly enjoyed every single aspect of the TEFL course in Cusco, Peru. From the moment I touched down in the city, I felt incredibly supported and cared for by the amazing staff at Máximo and beautiful host family. Sean is an amazing instructor! Each day was full of fascinating language lessons, endless laughs, and abundant opportunities to push oneself. We were able to teach for a total of 10 hours throughout the course and with each lesson, my confidence, skills, and strengths as a teacher grew. We received excellent feedback from Sean after each teaching experience that allowed us to acknowledge and strengthen our weaker points. I had so much fun and was truly lit up by the passion that fills each individual at Máximo. Come experience the magic for yourself!

This course will exceed your expectations. If you are an experienced educator or a recent graduate, you will learn some new and amazing skills. I cannot thank the staff and instructors enough for their support and guidance. This was an exceptional experience. I would have loved to stay in the area longer and explore but there are jobs to be done, and I have to go to my new teaching location. I am grateful for the job placement and skills I will take with me. I cannot thank the host families and Maximo TEFL staff enough. They are the pillars of this organization and took care of me like family.

Loved the Maximo Nivel TEFL course! Taught at the institute in Manuel Antonio, which is a Beautiful location. The course is very intensive but for those who are willing to put in the work you can learn a lot of valuable skills!

The teacher, Lewis, is very qualified: knowledgeable, helpful, and compassionate. Lots to do in the community as well. My partner came with me and we thoroughly enjoyed going to the beach, exploring the jungle on hikes, attending a local salsa class, and going out to some local bars/restaurants.
