What our CELTA Graduates Say about us:

Read from real trainees who have completed the course with us.

Intensive study of a new subject and living abroad for the first time were already challenging experiences without also adjusting to life in a big city–I chose to study in Siem Reap because it has roughly the same population as my hometown of Madison, Wisconsin. Siem Reap has felt very safe and welcoming. Plus, you’re so close to the UNESCO World Heritage site, the Angkor Wat temple complex–take the advice of tutors who tell you to arrive early and play tourist before the course starts.

Vincenza

CELTA Graduate

The most valuable part for me was having a supportive and structured environment where I could not only understand teaching theories but also apply them in real classroom situations. This helped me gain confidence, self belief and the ability to deliver high quality lessons effectively.

Zainab

CELTA Graduate

Now that I have completed the CELTA course, I approach each new lesson with a more critical mindset. I consistently ask myself essential questions: What is my goal? What are the objectives of the lesson? Do I have the necessary materials to achieve them? Are my students grasping the concepts, or do I need to clarify further? How will my students demonstrate their understanding of the main lesson points? My teaching has become more student-centered than ever before.

Sean

CELTA Graduate

CELTA requires a significant amount of time and energy, so students need to be prepared for this intensive and demanding experience. You might spend long days designing lesson plans that include a variety of activities, teaching in real classroom settings, and receiving constructive feedback from professional trainers. Therefore, effective time management is crucial.

Visal

CELTA Graduate

The course definitely helped me grow in virtually every aspect of my teaching. Before undertaking my CELTA, I had some previous experience as a private tutor, but I lacked lesson structure, a clear methodology and any experience teaching more than two students at a time. The input sessions on areas like language analysis, lesson planning, skills development, and classroom management were extremely eye-opening for me and I began to realise how much more there was to being a good teacher than I had initially anticipated.
