Testimonials
“It is a life changing experience. I will never teach in the same way again. I feel that I've improved a lot. The tutors are so commited to the course that It made me think about becoming one of them. I will never forgot this course."
“CELTA was the greatest learning experience of my life. It helped me realize that there are many important linguistic features in English that I wasn't addressing in my lessons. I now feel that my teaching is more complete, thanks to the course, their tutors and feedback. I think every English teacher should go through a similar experience. ”.”
The CELTA course gave me the means necessary to become a better teacher. The course is very assertive and practical. ”
The CELTA experience was better and richer than I imagined. I've been teaching for a while, but nothing compares to the teacher I became during the course. I am very greatful to the tutors and my peers, we all made the most of this experience. ”
“This was definitely the hardest, most challenging, nerve wrecking, but amazing experience I have ever had. Receiving and giving feedback is not easy, but when you see progress, the happiness is overwhelming. I can confirm, with all my soul that this was the best decision I have ever taken for my professional life. "Where there is a will, there is a way". Thank you CELTA. Thank you Hareem. Thank you Bjarne.
