Great immersion opportunity, even for older adults!
March 23, 2025by: Sandy Worley - United StatesProgram: Spanish Immersion Programs | Learn Spanish in Latin AmericaMy husband and I are in our 50s and have just begun studying Spanish in order to serve our local community better. Two weeks in the immersion program, along with staying with a local family, has given us a wonderful jumpstart to our learning process. We're so glad we chose Maximo Nivel. The support we were given all along the way was outstanding and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Further, the staff in Quepos/Manuel Antonio is super friendly and supportive.

TEFL online course - Better than expectations!
March 22, 2025by: Althea Kerr - South AfricaProgram: Top-Rated TEFL Certification with Job Placement GuaranteeEmbarking on a career transition in one's sixties can be a daunting yet ultimately fulfilling endeavour, particularly when fueled by a desire for change and a latent passion waiting to be ignited. The shift from a long-standing career in finance, specifically as a Senior Bookkeeper/Accountant, to the realm of Teaching English as a Foreign Language represents a significant departure, driven by burnout and a yearning for a more stimulating and personally rewarding professional path. I found all this, beyond expectation, when I took the TEFL online course. I found the course material to be comprehensive and the manner in which it was presented, made learning so much easier and a lot more fun than one would expect from doing an English teaching course. My personal trainer, Sean Barter, who is stationed in Peru, was immensely patient, extremely helpful and was more than happy to have me listen in on others' classes. The online teachers gave me invaluable advice and during my practical training, Sean guided me through with unstinting advice , not just on the teaching but also how to better use the Zoom platform. This is the best thing I have ever done and I look forward to my new life as an English teacher.

I want to go to graduate school to pursue a PhD in Romance Languages. I have a degree in Spanish, but I knew I wanted to live abroad, immersed in the language and culture, and really perfect my Spanish skills before beginning such a high-caliber program. Having a degree in teaching ESL already, I knew I could get a job teaching English abroad without going through a TEFL/TESOL Certification program, but I wanted to go through an organization so that I would have a support system in my new home and could ease into life abroad with a group of peers who were doing the same type of thing as I was.

I traveled to many places, but as tourist only. I think I was just ready to take my experiences to a new level, really get to know the country as if I lived there. I traveled to India and China in the past, saw all the touristy places but didn't experience as much of their culture as I would like to. Volunteering in Guatemala was exactly what I was looking for: interaction with locals and living just like one of them.
