Best time
July 25, 2026by: Jayden Phan - United StatesTeaching English in Costa Rica was a dream! My wonderful host family made me feel right at home, and the kids were incredibly sweet, kind, and eager to learn. Such an unforgettable pura vida experience!
I had a time of my life
July 25, 2026by: Noah On - United StatesThis was the best two weeks I’ve had. Helping out with the kids teaching English to exploring the Costa Rican adventures. Also the host is very nice and makes sure that we are taken care of. I really believe this program is a worth of money and that you will not regret doing this program

I waited 20 years and I'm SO HAPPY I chose Maximo Nivel!
July 18, 2026by: Becky Searles - United StatesI did the TEFL class from 22 June - 19 July 2026. I found this program through endorsement by Ramsey Solutions. Something I didn't know is Costa Rica is the most expensive country option: your money will go further in other sites. My instructor was highly qualified and taught the course exactly how we are expected to teach. It crams a semester's worth of information into 4 weeks, including 2 6-page papers. If you come prepared to work and not vacation, this is an excellent option. I'm not sure what the job placement guarantee is, since I want to teach online, and was told it takes several months to build up to a full schedule. Something I wish I knew: there is no air conditioning if you stay with a host family. However, it's an extremely valuable opportunity to improve your Spanish if that's something you want to do.

I've always wanted to travel and see the world, but fear of the unknown kept me back and I slowly began to settle into a stable but monotonous job. Near the end of 2015, I realised that if I did not take action I could very likely live my whole life without ever having traveled abroad. After reading many motivational books and considering the pros and cons of my big decision over and over again, I finally decided to take a leap of faith and signed up for the TEFL training course, with the plan to work abroad immediately after completing the course.

I applied for this program because I wanted the opportunity to live in a different country, to be able to work there, and experience a new culture. I knew also that it would give me new skills and potentially lead to a new career in a rewarding profession.
