A truely rewarding experience!
June 16, 2025by: Catelyn Cox - United StatesProgram: TEFL Certification in Guatemala with Job Placement GuaranteeI took the 4-week TEFL course at Maximo Nivel Antigua and loved it. It was a lot of work, but I learned so much in such a short period of time. My teacher Karen was amazing. She has so much experience and knowledge and she is so generous and will do anything to help you succeed. She made the course 100% worth it. I also really liked the real practical teaching aspect of the course where I taught for one week in an actual English class at Maximo. I also took private Spanish lessons and Maximo was accommodating to make sure it fit in with my TEFL schedule. My teacher Sandra was a blast. She was so funny and nice to practice with. Overall, my experience at Maximo was excellent and super rewarding.
Amazing experience!
June 14, 2025by: Anne Schwartz - United StatesProgram: Working with Kids—Volunteer in Guatemala!The home stay was comfortable, project placement was exhausting but so rewarding—I felt that I was actually making a difference. All of the pre-trip support was great, and the Maximo Nivel staff is supportive responsive, and so kind & fun!

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.
