Maximo in Manuel Antonio is WORTH IT

I had no idea of what to expect from my TEFL course. What I got was an AMAZING teacher. She was always available to help look over my work, make sure my lesson plans were well crafted, or just to talk about teaching and life in general. I learned so much from her in 4 weeks; it was incredible. I have no background in teaching, but after the course I felt like I was equipped to not only teach, but be a good teacher. The staff and Maximo are so great. They are incredibly helpful with anything from printing, to telling you where to eat and where the best beaches are. I felt like I was a part of a family when I was at Maximo! Finding a job can be difficult; I spent a lot of nights scouring Craigslist. But my TEFL instructor was always there for help. She would send us links to jobs, help us prepare our CV's and pretty much anything else you could imagine. The course work is tough, you devote a lot of time to reading, writing and making lesson plans. But I never felt like the work was too much, or not worth it. Every assignment had a purpose and helped me to become a great teacher!
