Maximo is the BEST

I did TEFL in Costa Rica with Maximo and I can honestly say that it was the best experience I've ever had. I had never really traveled before going to Costa Rica and I wasn't even that excited about becoming TEFL certified, I was just looking for something to do for the summer. But Maximo is so much more than "something to do for the summer," it is an amazing place to learn and make friends and grow as a person. The TEFL program is fantastic, it's definitely a lot of work but totally worth it because I feel incredibly prepared to teach English anywhere now! The staff in Costa Rica is fantastic, they are some of the nicest, most helpful and supportive people I've ever met and were there for me whenever I needed anything, from a pen to a taxi to life advice. The facilities are beautiful, so much nicer than I would have expected in Costa Rica and I definitely felt very safe. I stayed in an apartment during TEFL and a homestay when I decided to stay longer (didn't want to leave! You won't either!) and both were incredible. Whenever there was the slightest problem (for example, I'm allergic to dogs and my host family had a dog) Maximo took care of it almost immediately and always checked in to make sure things were going well. Basically, I cannot say enough good things about Maximo and I HIGHLY recommend TEFL and any other Maximo program to everyone in the world!!
