TEFL Certification in Cusco, Peru with Job Placement Guarantee

I had done a lot of research into in-person TEFL certification courses before I chose Maximo. Their consistently good ratings are completely deserved. You are teaching actual English students starting in week 1! The Peru TEFL teacher, Sean, is a teacher’s teacher. I learned so much and he really went above and beyond for our entire class. I was really nervous about relearning all that grammar, but it was really Ok. It is a rigorous course, to be sure. I am so happy I chose this course, it was 100% worth the time and money.

The TEFL Trainer, Sean, is amazing, and the techniques he teaches truly work and are easily applicable to a classroom setting. This program is especially beneficial because you get hours of practical teaching experience before you graduate. The course is rigorous and not easy, but overall I had a very good experience. The course and knowledgeable teacher can answer every question brought up through an understanding of real-life experience. Outside of the TEFL course itself, Maximo Nivel was able to place me with a wonderful host family to experience the culture of Peru during my time here. Would recommend this program to any age or professional experience level.

I am so sad to be leaving Cusco and Maximo Nivel. This learning institute is such a warm place, with incredible resources, and very friendly people. I loved the TEFL program and teachers, they were very knowledge with lots of professional teaching experience. My teachers, Wayne, Annabelle and Sean did not hold back from sharing they're expertise and always gave helpful feedback. They were funny and kind. The international office staff and academic office staff were incredibly helpful with whatever resources I needed or confusion I had. Cusco is such an amazing place to be, there is so much culture, the nature and archeology are amazing, and the surrounding towns and cities are lovely. I also loved my Quechua classes, what a unique privilege to learn with Nellie. I can't wait to use my TEFL in another amazing country!

Traveling is usually great, but traveling and coming back with a new skill is better! At the Máximo Nivel TEFL course in Cusco, Peru, I had a terrific time, met some great people, enjoyed the city and all of history and majesty surrounding it. The best thing, however, was the amazing TEFL course itself: wonderful instruction, teaching beginning on the second day with real non-English speaking students, Practical Teaching Week, the extra help that's always available, the dedication of the TEFL team and the support from the entire Institute. Our teachers, Sean and Wayne, were incredibly kind, generous, knowledgeable and experienced. There's a lot of work, but I feel prepared to take my first step and begin a new career as a teacher now, and I can't imagine feeling ready without everything I learned in classes, observations and practical teaching. I cannot emphasize enough how dedicated and professional this course is. If you really want to learn to teach, then go to Máximo Nivel, where they will put you on the path to become the best teacher you can be. I stayed for a few extra weeks and taught classes after my TEFL program ended, and I will be going home from Cusco in April with both an excellent education and real teaching experience. I've fallen in love with my students, and it's hard to imagine that others won't do the same thing.

I just finished the 4 week program and it's been a good experience. Cusco has been a great city to live in and I will be staying around to work for Maximo Nivel as a teacher after being certified. The staff is very friendly and there is so much to do and enjoy in Cusco and the rest of Peru. I enjoyed my time in the program and the instructor was very good. Because the course is condensed into 4 weeks there is a lot of work you have to do, especially towards the end. The TEFL certificate is a legitimate international certificate you can use to work anywhere in the world.

I completed the TEFL course in Cusco, Peru in May of 2022. The experience was absolutely incredible! I was given the flexibility to take half of the course online back home and the in-person portion right after school ended. I was impressed with the instructor, Sean Barter and the way he integrated the ESL techniques to the actual course. He and the staff provided support throughout and after the course. I highly recommend taking the course in-person as you are fully immersed and learn so much by teaching regularly. The feedback and tasks throughout were helpful and provided guidance to continue growing in the course. I highly recommend taking this course. You also have the chance to work in Peru if you choose. Not only do you get to learn but you get to meet new friends and explore the city! Cusco was overall safe and fun with so much to do! Highly recommend Máximo Nivel in Cusco for the TEFL program!

I looked at many TEFL courses before signing up for this one. It exceeded my expectations. The opportunity to observe other TEFL-trained teachers teaching non-English speakers was invaluable as was the opportunity to practice teach 8 lessons to actual students. The feedback was excellent and enabled me to improve my next lesson every time. Our TEFL trainer, Sean, was totally amazing, modeling how to teach in each of our TEFL lessons. He was inspiring, always supportive, and encouraging. I came out of this TEFL program confident and eager to teach. The staff at Maximo Nivel have experience and contacts all over the world and are very helpful in making contacts for employment and volunteer opportunities. I give this program the highest marks.

This experience at Maximo Nivel has opened my eyes to the possibility of teaching all over the world. This was by far one of the best decisions that I have ever made. Sean the teacher of the TEFL course is one of the most incredible individuals I have ever met. The course includes a lot of information, so get ready to work hard, but it is so worth it!!! This course includes an intro week where you learn about teaching methodologies and practice teaching a mini lesson in the first week. These mini lessons provide assistance in your own teaching and allows you to get hands on experience right away. The second week is grammar week and you do two mini lessons and a grammar paper. You will have to observe other classes in the institute, this helps get an idea of the type of teacher you would like to be. The last week was my favorite and was practical teaching week, where you are assigned your own class and get to teach them all week! The students are amazing and you learn so much within this week. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in learning about the world and teaching abroad. The only downside is that I DO NOT recommend getting housing through Maximo, it is expensive and not worth the price. You can find higher quality and more affordable housing on your own, so don't be afraid! Check on facebook for housing listings. :)
