Tefl with Maximo Nivel

I absolutely loved the TEFL program with Maximo. I am a first time traveler outside the US and had a little bit of cold feet at the beginning and voiced these concerns with Paula in San Jose and then was put in contact with Karen and Audra in Manuel Antonio. They were so patient and called me at home to discuss any worries I had and immediately put me at ease. I am SO glad I came and completed the TEFL program. It is a pretty rigorous course so make sure to keep up with your lesson plans and assignments but, at the end of the course YOU WILL feel prepared and excited to enter the wonderful world of teaching English.

You get a lot of great feedback and guidance and you get 10 hours of practical teaching experience which automatically puts you ahead of the game when looking for jobs. The location is gorgeous, you do get to enjoy Costa Rica and see the sights on the weekends if you're caught up on everything. You become really close with your fellow teflers and Audra the trainer is thebomb.com She keeps class funny, light and really cares about your success as a teacher. She helps you find your personal strengths and plays to them. The other staff members at Maximo/Cosi are a delight. They always have a smile when they see you and are always willing to help you with whatever you need. I stayed with a host family in Quepos and they were so sweet and generous as well. You have many opportunities to speak Spanish and see hospitality and generosity at its finest.

Definitely recommend!! I will probably see about doing a volunteer program with them next year!
