An unforgettable and stunning experience!
April 16, 2025by: Hannah Cahill - United StatesProgram: TEFL Costa Rica with Job Placement Guarantee!If you are thinking about taking a TEFL course, or traveling to a new country to volunteer or teach, I would HIGHLY recommend going through Maximo Nivel!! I did an insane amount of research before landing on Maximo Nivel and it was the best choice that I could have made……………………. For one, Maximo is a highly accredited organization, and what sets them apart is the amount of practical teaching you get while doing your TEFL training. It’s an intense course, but very worth it! My TEFL trainer, Lewis, made sure that every student had the help and assistance they needed in order to be successful and get through the whole course………………………. Secondly, Maximo is extremely caring. Whether you are in TEFL, or a volunteer or just going to Costa Rica for surf lessons, Maximo makes certain that you have rides to and from the airport, that you have a safe and amazing place to stay, and that all of your needs are met……………. Third, Quepos and Manuel Antonio is such a beautiful place to be!! It was amazing to experience the culture, the food, and every bid of nature I could! Every weekend was full of beaches, waterfalls, hikes, and insanely beautiful sunsets!! At the very least, you should go for experience and nature. I felt extremely safe in Costa Rica, and Maximo Nivel made sure that I had all the resources I needed to feel like I was just back in my hometown! If you need a sign to go……THIS IS YOUR SIGN, do the TEFL course in Manuel Antonio, you won’t regret it!! :)



can not believe I did this
April 16, 2025by: julie cooke - United StatesProgram: TEFL Costa Rica with Job Placement Guarantee!The TEFL class was amazing. If you want a challenge and something to prove what you can achieve. Take this course. I didn't realize how hard teaching my native language would be. Amazing feeling when you know you have helped local students learn some English. Costa Rica is the hottest place I have ever visited, so having class in a beautiful air-conditioned classroom was wonderful the school itself is fantastic a great swimming pool and a coffee shop with snacks and free coffee and tea all day.
TEFL in Quepos, Costa Rica with Maximo Nivel
April 16, 2025by: Esme Wynn - EnglandProgram: TEFL Costa Rica with Job Placement Guarantee!I did TEFL in Quepos, Costa Rica with Maximo Nivel. I'm so glad I did it here, in a safe, friendly town 3 km away from the beautiful Manuel Antonio. I have learnt so much in such a small amount of time, a very rewarding experience. The workload is intense, there's a lot to do, but it is completely worth the fight. Included is 10 hours of practical teaching which is included in the course, which acts as a launchpad for your TEFL career. The course was amazing, and so were our trainers, Lewis and Christina! Muchas gracias a Maximo Nivel!!

I applied for this program because I wanted the opportunity to live in a different country, to be able to work there, and experience a new culture. I knew also that it would give me new skills and potentially lead to a new career in a rewarding profession.

I've always wanted to travel and see the world, but fear of the unknown kept me back and I slowly began to settle into a stable but monotonous job. Near the end of 2015, I realised that if I did not take action I could very likely live my whole life without ever having traveled abroad. After reading many motivational books and considering the pros and cons of my big decision over and over again, I finally decided to take a leap of faith and signed up for the TEFL training course, with the plan to work abroad immediately after completing the course.
