TOUGH! But, Pura Vida!!! :)

July 16, 2025by: Kayla Black - United StatesProgram: TEFL Costa Rica with Job Placement Guarantee!

I completed my TEFL certification at Maximo Nivel in Quepos, Costa Rica, and I can’t recommend it enough! It was the most challenging academic experience I’ve had, but also one of the most rewarding. The instructor, Lewis, was exceptional—supportive, knowledgeable, and inspiring. Beyond the classroom, the kindness and warmth of the local community made the whole journey even more special. If you're up for a real challenge and want to grow, this is the place!

Would come back!

Going through Maximo Nivel has been the best idea my university (CSUB) has told me about. I went last year to Peru through Maximo Nivel as well for the Spanish Immersion Program and enjoyed it as well. Both the host families I was given were amazing both times. The staff members are all sweet and very accommodating. Some of the traveling tours through Maximo are a bit pricey, however it is something that I personally will pay for rather than going out to find cheaper due to wanting to continue my support for this Institute. The TEFL course is very very intensive but it is SO fun, especially with Lewis. He is a phenomenal teacher and made the class feel energetic and comfortable. Also, the Practical Teaching Week is incredibly useful and gives you actual experience in what you will be doing with your TEFL. 100% recommend going through Maximo. The possibility of me going to Guatemala next is high!
