Program: TEFL Certification in Peru with Job Placement Guarantee

After completing several classes of Spanish throughout college, I am very much inspired to teach English to others the same way my Spanish professor had to me. I will never forget how happy and excited she was to cram Spanish in our brains everyday. She made learning a new language so fun and easy. When it comes to my experience training with MAximo Nivel, I believe this has got to be one of the best places to begin or continue a teaching career in all of Latin America. The team here in Maximo are all on the same wave length of people who enjoy the connection and share the same values of teaching. Furthermore, the organization´s layout for teaching classes, what they recommend their teachers to do and what their goal criteria is attuned towards maximum freedom for teachers to use their creativity and custom interaction, and they employ all the students in every level of class to practice the language as much as they can on their own even within the class. By far I would recommend anyone to work here, as I believe it is an incredibly unique and positive company in itself along with the people, students and teachers.
