I had a great time!

I came to Peru 2 months ago for trekking but i felt like i could not get a complete experience without learning spanish. I came back to cusco and sighned up to Maximo Nivel. the apliccation was very easy and the costumer help was very eficiente as well [i sighned up and started the next day]. i loved the teacher and the fact that we study grammer but practice speaking too with the group. the only thing that i think you should consider is that in my claas, i had students that took spanish allready in an other MAXIMO NIVEL school and were very advanced [finished the book already], that made me question multiple times if i am placed at the right level. other than that, the explications of the teacher were clear and i felt like i understoud the homeworks after class. overall, had an amazing experience and i will continue studying spanish in my country!.

I loved working with the locals in Cusco. I was able to learn a lot about both healthcare here, and overall medical information I didn't know before. My Spanish skills also imporved from beginner to not so beginner, so that's also a plus! The Maximo Nivel staff were super helpful from orientation, to helping me with my own health issues, to departure. I would truly recommend this program to anyone looking to become a global citizen, and partcipate in a program to their specialty. While I'm sad to leave, I will cherish these memroeis forever and am excited to take what I learned and apply it at home!

I stayed in Manuel Antonio with the Maximo team and had a wonderful time! It was a little stressful at first with the minimal information offered, but once I arrived in Quepos, Costa Rica, I felt entirely cared for and supported. Wonderful team and a wonderful program! (Shout out to Karen, the best manager out there and practically a second host mom to me and my best friend ❤️❤️❤️)
