If you are looking for an amazing adventure and want to dip your toes into teaching into another country this is the place for you. You will gain lifelong friends and learn a few new things. The food is amazing the staff is helpful and kind. It is safe and fun. Come to Costa Rica!

I had the best experience doing the program with Maximo Nivel. I love how the stuff is dedicated to getting the students to become the best teachers, the program was intense but we had the best instructor (Karen Wilke). For me she was more than just my instructor, she was my counselor and friend. I absolutely loved how she would constantly come up with ways to make every lesson more fun and less stressful. I would highly recommend Maximo Nivel to everyone that's thinking of getting their TEFL certificate, they truly are the best.

I decided to put all of my eggs in one basket and take a shot at following my dreams. I wanted to travel the world, and teaching English seemed like a viable option to sustain that lifestyle. I was not sure what to expect. I had never considered teaching before. Even before I signed up, Maximo Nivel offered online assistance to any questions that I had. They told me all about the options and different types of programs that they offered. Throughout the process, I only needed to ask, and they instantly responded with the help that I needed. I chose the program to get my International TEFL/TESOL Certification in Cusco, Peru. Included in the program was everything that I needed to make my dreams come true! They constantly stayed in contact with me to ensure my comfort and confidence with my decision. From picking me up at the airport, my included private apartment as housing, the friendly staff and faculty, amazing teachers, to even helping facilitate my sightseeing, they ensured that I did not need or want for anything! The one month here absolutely flew by as I received one of the best educational courses of my life! My last week of practical teaching solidified that I want to do this from now on. By the end, I was confident that I could go out into the world and actually teach. I have found pure joy and happiness in a rewarding new industry! Without a doubt, this was the best experience I could have asked for! I can not say thank you enough for changing my life and opening doors for me!
