Strongest Recommendation
March 19, 2025by: Martin O'Brien - United StatesProgram: TEFL Certification in Peru with Job Placement GuaranteeAs an educator with many years of practical and academic experience in education, I highly recommend the Maximo Nivel TEFL program in Cusco, Peru. The course was rigorous and serious. But my classmates and I received a lot of support from the instructors, Sean and Christina. There was a good balance between seat work, where we learned the theory, and practical work (mini-lessons and classroom teaching) where we practiced what we had been taught. Besides the content, the program (and instructors) build a strong community among my classmates that added to the learning. I would recommend the program without qualification.
Well worth it!!
March 18, 2025by: Sharon Axthelm - United StatesProgram: TEFL Certification in Peru with Job Placement GuaranteeThe TEFL course at Cusco was amazing! I learned so much! From day one we were learning, practicing, reviewing, receiving feedback, etc. It was an intense month! We grew as TEFL students, teachers and as a group of friends. Our instructor, Sean, was there to encourage us and push us when we needed it. He made us believe we could do this, and then we did! I’m forever grateful for the experience and look forward to a future in teaching abroad!
I love my daily on-line classes!
March 18, 2025by: Sarah Annecone - United StatesProgram: Spanish Immersion Online - Native Spanish InstructorsLast summer I spent five weeks in Costa Rica to improve my Spanish skills. The staff at Maximo Nivel matched me to a local family who boarded me and a terrific teacher for daily private Spanish classes in Quepos, Costa Rica. When I returned to Colorado, I didn’t want to lose the progress I had made and so I signed up for daily online classes. I appreciate the discount for paying for four weeks at a time and have been doing this since July! Class with my teacher is the best way I can possibly think of to start each weekday! My teacher is very skilled at instruction, as well as patient, warm, and kind. If you want to learn or improve your Spanish skills, sign-up for a free trial online classes today!

I'd previously volunteered in Cambodia teaching English, and I was keen to head somewhere else and help out. I had previously quit university and was tired of working two jobs...so I booked a ticket to South America.

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.
