My TEFL was AMAZING!

My TEFL program with Máximo Nivel Guatemala was a fantastic experience. I learned so much throughout the course and really valued the strong practical element that helped me build real classroom confidence. The lessons were engaging, well-structured, and supportive. The instructors, Becca and Claudia, were excellent—knowledgeable, patient, and always encouraging. Their guidance made the whole experience enjoyable and truly rewarding. Highly recommend this program to anyone considering teaching English abroad!

I had a fantastic experience completing the TEFL program at Maximo Nivel in Antigua. It was truly a wonderful opportunity to develop valuable skills and learn so much in such a short period of time. I’m incredibly grateful for the amazing staff and the quality of the course, it’s been an unforgettable experience. Keep in mind, though, the program is quite intensive and requires real commitment, so only go for it if you’re ready to take it seriously

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.
