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.
