My experience in Manuel Antonio will forever be unmatched! I had the time of my life, not only experiencing what this great city has to offer but also in the classroom! I learned so much and so effectively!

Thanks Audra!!!!

I recently completed the TEFL course at Maximo Nivel and it was an amazing experience. When I first arrived in Cusco it was a bit bumpy the first few days. My phone had been stolen on the first day that I arrived and I spent the entire day in the police station. After that everything else was semi smooth sailing. All of the staff and my instructor at Maximo exceeded all of my expectations. I seriously couldn’t have had a better experience abroad.

I loved everything about my time at Maximo Nivel COSI. I enjoyed everything from my classmates to our awesome instructor Audra, and the rest of the staff at COSI. It was an all-around great environment, professional and very friendly. The TEFL program was engaging and hands-on which allowed opportunities to learn and grow as new TEFL teachers. I can’t recommend Maximo Nivel more. If you are feeling hesitant don’t be afraid to call. They will answer all your questions and give you the information you need to make the best decision.

Maximo Nivel rocks. It was everything I hoped it would be and more. After taking an online TEFL program with another school, I still didn’t have the confidence or skill set to go into a classroom. Today I leave Manuel Antonio a teacher. If you have ever wanted to teach English abroad taking the hands-on TEFL course in Manuel Antonio is the place to do it. The beach is wonderful and a great balance to all of the hard work in store for you.

When I first came across the opportunity to take the TEFL course in Costa Rica I was sceptical of the overwhelmingly positive comments and almost didn’t take the opportunity because of it. I am so glad I did though. The course is top notch and Audra, the TEFL trainer in Manuel Antonio, is a force to be reckoned with. She won’t sugar coat it, but she will take you under her wing until you are ready to fly yourself. Failure is not an option. For me, she exemplifies what it means to be an educator and a mentor. You will just have to meet her to understand. Pura Vida!

This course was absolutely outstanding. The support given was incredible and I left feeling as though I was had all the tools needed to go out and be a teacher. Along with teaching skills, this class taught me many life skills as well. I will carry these skills with me wherever I go.

First I’d like to say how pleasant my experience was at Maximo Nivel COSI. The campus is absolutely beautiful and the ambiance is relaxing yet efficient. All the open space, surrounding nature and natural lighting makes it a very enjoyable learning environment. Secondly, the staff are very welcoming, warm and helpful. Everyone is always smiling and the overall energy is very positive. Third, Audra is a fantastic teacher! Although the course is expensive, Audra makes every penny worth it with her extensive knowledge, help, resources, high energy, charisma and patience. Audra showed me how to be a great teacher by being a great teacher. I’ve already recommended this program and school just based off of Audra’s teaching skills, let alone all the other great amenities!

Taking this TEFL certification course has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! I have met so many wonderful people and have gotten to enjoy the nature and beauty of Costa Rica. My classmates and I worked very hard through the entirety of the course, but it was so worth it. Big thanks to our amazing instructor Audra – she made the course (even classes about grammar) so exciting and interesting for all of us. I’m looking forward to using this certification in the near future after graduating college! If you’ve EVER wanted to learn to teach English, this is the place to do it!!!

The whole process has been a life changing experience for me. I have learned completely new skill sets that have challenged what I have learned and executed over my teaching career. Even with my language training in English, Latin, and Spanish, I have learned new information regarding grammar and certainly new techniques to teach second language learners the most efficiently. I looked forward to attending class every day as my instructor’s personality, passion, and knowledge drove the class forward. I could not ask for a better experience.

I loved my time here in Manuel Antonio. Maximo Nivel exceeded my expectations in every way. This course is challenging and so worth it! Audra makes it really engaging and she is by far one of the best teachers I have ever had. The Manuel Antonio location is absolutely beautiful and I enjoyed going to the beach almost every day. If you are on the fence about whether or not to take this course, do it! I am SO glad I did and I’m starting my new job in San Jose because of it!

Loved my experience at Maximo Nivel, Costa Rica! I am sad to say goodbye to all the wonderful staff who work there, you are all darlings. Even though I couldn´t speak a lick of Spanish and came not really knowing what I was letting myself in for, everyone was very patient with me and accommodating. The host family experience was fantastic, I´ll definitely miss them a lot! Staying with a local family made my experience in Costa Rica so special and taught me a lot about Latino culture. Overall I can´t fault Maximo Nivel for their professionalism, positive attitude and enthusiasm about what they do. Would recommend to anyone looking to do a TEFL course for sure. God bless you Audra, you´re an inspiration to us all. Hope to see you all again sometime soon! Pura Vida Hombres. ??☀️
