The TEFL course also includes 6 hours where you observe experienced ESL teachers leading their classes. In the final week of the TEFL course, you take over a live English class with real, non-native students, and teach 60-minute lessons for 5 days, during which you are observed and coached by your TEFL Trainer.

A lot of universities could take a lesson or two from how everything is arranged at Maximo Nivel. I took the Spanish course in Guatemala five years ago, and I chose Maximo Nivel this time to have a different adventure because I knew that everything would be well arranged and that the highest quality would be guaranteed.
I would even dare to say that the brochure and website information undersell what a truly amazing experience the TEFL course is, mainly due to the great teacher we had. Sean has the energy, knowledge, and patience to develop great future teachers.
Not only does the course content give you exactly what you need to prepare yourself to be in front of a class, but it also gives you the hands-on practice to stand there with confidence, think on your feet, and enjoy the experience.
I am already missing the classes and Cuzco. Thank you Maximo Nivel and thank you Sean!
