ONLINE TEFL
CERTIFICATION
WORLD’S BEST ONLINE TEFL CERTIFICATION
WITH JOB PLACEMENT GUARANTEE!
Can you really learn to teach English at a professional level, by taking an online TEFL course? At Maximo Nivel… yes, you can! The online TEFL program at Maximo Nivel is not your ordinary online certification. Other online TEFL courses simply concentrate on ESL theory—they are automated, online courses. This is known as one-way learning, because you miss the class interaction and the practical teaching component that the best TEFL courses offer…
Maximo Nivel’s online TEFL course gives you the theory, the opportunity to discuss theory and practice with your TEFL Trainer, and you teach 5 hours with live English students! The online TEFL course includes 10 hours of tutoring and coaching by Zoom with your TEFL Trainer. The Online TEFL is a thorough introduction to Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). During the online course, you become familiar with the principles of successful ESL teaching. Your TEFL Trainer provides written and verbal feedback through the Learning Management System (LMS), email, and Zoom meetings. During the practical teaching module, your trainer observes your online teaching and provides feedback and coaching to help you improve.
The online TEFL course gives you a great deal of independence and flexibility. You earn your TEFL certificate from the comfort of your home or your favorite coffee shop. The online course is perfect for working professionals or full-time students who are unable to commit to a 4-week, onsite course. An online TEFL course is a simple and easy way to start your teaching adventure abroad.

Why I Maximo Nivel
Maximo Nivel rocks. When I first came across the opportunity to take the TEFL course I was skeptical of the overwhelmingly positive comments and almost didn’t take the opportunity. I am so glad I did. The TEFL course was everything I hoped it would be and more. If you have ever wanted to teach English abroad, Maximo Nivel is the place to do it.
