MAXIMO NIVEL

Everything is part of the experience. Learning how to go with the flow is an essential part of staying here. I’ve made so many new friends, locally and from around the world. The workers are fantastic and super accommodating, as long as you’re reachable and communicating. I’ve enjoyed working with kids and every new day brings about something new to learn. I love my Spanish classes and we’ve been correcting things I learned in school and building off of it. I’m really excited for the rest of my time here. ¡Pura vida!

I am so glad I chose Máximo Nivel. It is a challenging program that is very well organized. The entire staff is warm and welcoming. They know the students by name and work hard to ensure you get the best experience. The results you see will depend upon the level of effort you put forth both during and outside of class, but Máximo Nivel gives you the tools and support to make it possible. They offer many opportunities to interact with other students and staff (most are free!), including cooking classes, walking tours, and more. The teachers are excellent at gauging your pace of learning and adapting as much as possible to your needs. The tandem program is a well organized way to get more conversation practice while meeting some amazing people. I look forward to coming back in the future to reinforce my learning and spend more time in this beautiful place.

Maximo Nivel offers many options to complete their TEFL courses, from in-person classes to online classes. I completed the online course. I had an exceptional experience taking the online TEFL course. The materials were made easy to understand, even for individuals who do not have a background in teaching. I really appreciated that the course covers some theory and practical approaches. This made the course feel very well-rounded. Since the course I took was online, you need to be fairly self-motivated to complete the course, but even those who may struggle with self-motivation the course displays a clear path to completion, which can be very motivating. I personally also really enjoyed the practical teaching section because it allows you to put into practice all that you learned throughout the course. The staff at Maximo Nivel are all great professionals. Especially Sean, I had a great experience learning from him. He is a knowledgeable teacher with many years of experience!
