The TEFL program in Cusco changed my life. The school provides any support you need: social connections, cultural immersion, academic feedback, critical teaching practice, and extensive resources. I could not be happier with my experience. I feel fully prepared to teach English after a month long intensive course, due to my wonderful trainer and the valuable in person practical teaching. I took a risk coming to another country to try something new, and it seriously paid off! I look forward to using my TEFL certification to start a career! Máximo is the best option if you want to travel and teach.

I took the hybrid TEFL course through Maximo-Nivel. The online course was created to ensure your success. I was able to navigate the online platform easily and appreciated the personal feedback on writing assignments from the same instructor I had in-person later in Cusco. The pacing of the course prepares you to get hands on teaching experience and immediate feedback within the short four week period. It’s crammed full of practical teaching information. I appreciated the staff’s focus on my comfort and safety while I stayed in a part of the world I’d never been to. It’s an experience I’ll never forget, and I am grateful for MaximoNivel’s lifelong commitment to ensuring my TEFL certification will be combined with real world job placement support.

I completed my TEFL certification at Maximo Nivel in Quepos, Costa Rica, and I can’t recommend it enough! It was the most challenging academic experience I’ve had, but also one of the most rewarding. The instructor was exceptional—supportive, knowledgeable, and inspiring. Beyond the classroom, the kindness and warmth of the local community made the whole journey even more special. If you’re up for a real challenge and want to grow, this is the place!

Maximo Nivel provides the best TEFL training you can receive. The curriculum is clear. The program is rigorous. Our teacher in Cusco, Peru is an expert beyond compare. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is willing to be challenged and truly learn the art of teaching.

I really enjoyed this program!! The staff was super helpful and gave good feedback. There was lots of practical, hands-on teaching experience; as someone who had almost zero teaching experience prior to the course, I now feel like I could enter a TEFL classroom environment and have the confidence and skills I need to teach students. The textbooks and materials were helpful; the job-finding workshop was insightful and I am now more aware of how many opportunities there are for English teachers around the world.

Overall, this was a really excellent course and I can’t recommend it enough!

The Maximo Nivel TEFL Course was excellent, under the incredible lead of Sean and Christina. Instruction was comprehensive and the practical teaching week provided the opportunity to work in a classroom and learn from experience. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking for not just a TEFL certificate, but to be truly prepared to teach.

I am very happy to have found Maximo Nivel. I completed my 4-week certification as well as took private Spanish lessons. Karen was an AMAZING instructor for TEFL. She has tons of experience and is an incredible person who brings such a great energy to class. My class was small, so it felt super personalized and Karen would help me with any question I had. I also found the week of real-life practical teaching very helpful because I got to work with a real class of paying students. The TEFL course is a short, but jam-packed course with tons of useful information and tips.

I also liked my one-on-one Spanish lessons with Sandra. I felt really comfortable speaking with her.

Maximo Nivel did a good job at accommodating my TEFL and Spanish schedule, so that I could do everything that I wanted during my time in Guatemala.

If you’re thinking about teaching English abroad, I can’t recommend the TEFL course at Maximo Nivel in Cusco enough. The program is super well-organized and gives you tons of real-world teaching experience. Sean Barter and the whole team are incredibly supportive and genuinely care about your growth. The hands-on training helped me feel prepared and confident in front of a class. It’s an unforgettable experience in an amazing city!

This is my 3rd Spanish immersion class. This was by far and away the best program. You are tested before starting class. I thought they did an appropriate job assessing my Spanish skills. I started with private lessons with 2 different teachers. The lesson plans mirrored each other and reinforced topics.

When I started my group class, I had 7 other students with me. It was so well organized and the content was solid. I highly recommend Máximo Nivel to anyone wanting to learn or improve their Spanish. I am a beginner and feel like I have advanced tremendously. Will definitely come back again to Guatemala.

I am so happy I found Maximo, and I’m even luckier I had Christina as my teacher. The amount of time and care I received from my teachers but the other faculty as well made me feel supported and prepared to begin teaching. The practical teaching I received and the feedback allowed me to see my improvements and also concentrate on what I needed to work on still. I’m very thankful for Christina, Sean and Maximo for giving me the tools to do something for years to come.
