Best decision I ever made!

Doing the TEFL program through Maximo Nivel in Antigua Guatemala was probably the best decision I have ever made. I had previously volunteered with them and told myself then that coming back to get my TEFL certification was a must. I had so much support and felt like part of the family. Karen was so positive and full of energy and knew exactly what to do to get each of us through the course. She made it fun and many times you forgot you were even doing work! I learned many skills, both teaching and life, that I will now take with me wherever I go. This was a starting point for me that opened my mind and heart to so many new ideas and adventures.

This isn't your typical TEFL/TESOL course. The entire month is a beautiful growing experience that I would recommend to anyone and everyone. Even if you don't plan on teaching English full-time or long-term, the certification is almost like having additional job security. The TEFL instructor here in Antigua is completely qualified, very knowledgeable in all things English, linguistics, teaching, traveling/ living abroad, etc. NOT to mention, she's just one of those amazing people in your life whom you will never forget. Maximo provides so much support outside of the classroom. The facility is gorgeous, clean, perfectly-located, and peaceful. Antigua is a beautiful little colonial town, full of welcoming locals, fellow travelers, and comfortable accommodations. Endless restaurants, hidden gardens, beautiful ruins to explore during your free time. With awareness and precaution, you shouldn't have any problems of safety. As far as the STAR of the review goes, the course itself: I can't properly convey how much information, wisdom, methodology, confidence, friendship, and experience I gained from this month-long TEFL program. The course work didn't always feel like a breeze, but I also never felt too overwhelmed at any point. Many Antigua-based TEFL students end up staying longer than planned. I'm so glad I made the leap. If you're looking for a the best TEFL course all around, congratulations because I strongly believe you've found it.

I can not imagine taking a TEFL course anywhere else. Everything seemed really organized. I had the best homestay ever (with Wendy and Francisco). And Karen Wilke is one of the most caring and helpful teachers I have ever met. She is obviously extremely knowledgeable and I definitely feel ready to teach after completing. I highly recommend TEFL with MAXIMO NIVEL!

I studied Latin American Studies and Spanish in University, so working abroad was always the goal in mind. I have also been interested in teaching English for years, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to blend all my interests.
