I recently completed the TEFL course at Maximo Nivel in Quepos, Costa Rica, and I can’t speak highly enough about the experience. It was one of the most rigorous and rewarding academic programs I’ve ever taken part in. The coursework was intense, covering a wide range of essential teaching strategies, grammar knowledge, and classroom management skills. Our instructor was phenomenal—engaging, clear, and genuinely invested in our success. What made the experience even more special was the warmth and kindness of everyone I encountered, from my fellow trainees to the local community. This program truly prepared me to teach English with confidence, and I would recommend it to anyone serious about teaching abroad.

I have volunteered with special needs care through Maximal Nivel Guatemala for the past 2 weeks. From the start the Maximal Nivel team was nothing but accommodating and helpful. They answered any questions I had, were always at my placement to make sure I was comfortable and always make sure I was happy. I would definitely recommend coming to Antigua to volunteer through Maximal Nivel.

Me and my brother had a very fun time working with exotic animals! Máximo Nivel has a bunch of cool programs that are available and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to do cool things in a foreign country it will definitely help you learn a lot of things that you might need for a job or a college degree or just to have an experience! They have a Guinness travel thing right as you enter and they provide all sorts of trips as well so I think Máximo nivel is pretty cool!
