I obtained my TEFL accredation through Maximo Nivél in Peru and have had a great month learning to become a TEFL teacher there. The classes were difficult but very enjoyable and gave me great insights on how to become a great TEFL teacher. I especially enjoyed getting to teach actual students and getting first-hand experience on what the job might be like. As a class, we got a lot of tips and assistance from our TEFL trainer regarding job possibilities and how we can set up for example online teaching, which was really helpful.The course was a lot of hard work, but our trainer made it a lot of fun to go to class every day. It was definitely a worthwhile experience!

Amazing course I loved taking the t with Lewis and Sean. Lewis and Sean were prepared, and delivered the course in a manner where we addressed subject matter regarding English and improving the Student Talking Time. I was given resources to get a job, and am currently teaching at Maximo Nivel after my TEFL. The course provided me with skills to advance, and also provided me with professional development tools. The resources at the school were amazing, and the teachers were not soft I wasnt just given my certificiation.

The entire course was very enjoyable, the teacher made what would be a heavy course very fun, and I am now filled with confidence going into my new career as an English teacher. The course itself was great fun, despite being incredibly heavy, we still managed to enjoy ourselves the entire time. I would absolutely recommend the course itself to people, as well as recommending the teacher.
Furthermore, the international staff who help us out were especially helpful, making sure that we were safe and looked after while getting used to the new surroundings.

This was a small TEFL program embedded in an institute with an English language program for folks in Cusco, which made the practice teaching quite authentic. There were many additional options, like tandem conversations, cooking classes, salsa classes. The teaching was excellent - Sean Barter is an enthusiastic expert teacher. We got a lot of detailed feedback and learned a lot in a short period of time. I loved Cusco - the mountains, the sky, the people, the food -- I'm so glad that I went. I highly recommend the program.

This course was very well created and provides everything you need to begin and earn in teaching. The instructor was very approachable and was able to create a fun and enjoyable learning environment that encouraged us to do our best. Really enjoyed it.
The lessons and the experience gained are worth every penny, I feel much more confident in my ability to teach and prepare lessons now for a variety of language levels. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a change in pace or to add another string to their bow.

I was feeling apprehensive before starting this journey. As a non native speaker, I wanted to prove to myself that I was able to take an advanced and well qualified course in English. As the days went by I felt more comfortable doing the course. My classmates and Sean made this small adventure one of the best I've ever had. Maximo Nivel and its staff are amazing, I really recommended taking this course. We covered everything from teaching methodologies, English grammar, teaching with games, the differences between teaching adults and teenagers. We started practice teaching on the 3rd day of course with real English students. The highlight was the practical teaching week at the end of the course.

I’m so glad I decided to study for my TEFL in Cusco!! The city is amazing and feels super safe, full of history and some amazing restaurants and landmarks to see. We were here for carnival and it was so much fun. Sean was the best teacher I have ever had and was so engaging and made every lesson enjoyable for the whole month. It was amazing that we had real life experience with the students and practical teaching lessons twice a week. All of the staff at Maximo are super helpful and the host families are amazing. I can’t recommend Maximo enough and very specifically doing your TEFL here with Sean, he’s the best!!!

What a life changing experience!! Sean was by far the best teacher I have had, the course was very intense however Sean’s teaching style made everything a bit easier.

For sure the most rewarding experiences I have ever had in one of the most beautiful & safest city’s Iv been too Cusco - Maximo were a pleasure to deal with, very organised and transparent company along with offering an incredible opportunity to teach in your last week of the course along with offering potential roles with them in Cusco, Costa Rica and Guatemala
