Reviews from previous years

Zillin Zhao – CELTA in May 2021 
I really appreciate your continuous guidance and encouragement. I feel gratitude to have the opportunity to do CELTA with you. I think the methods and ideas you brought to me will benefit me, my students and even my entire teaching life. I will always cherish this precious memory.I had not realised that I could learn so much from the CELTA course. I am a young teacher with only 3 years teaching experience. Before starting the CELTA course in the CELT Athens centre, I thought I had learnt a lot of teaching methodology and techniques by reviewing and applying Cambridge TKT terms. On the CELTA online course, I realised there were so many details which I had not been so sure  but could benefit my teaching practices.It was the first formal online course I have taken and had hesitated if it would be as useful as the f2f course. It was proved that my classmates and I did learn well because the course was designed carefully. Each step we took during the course was with guidance by highly experienced and professional tutors. I believe that the carefully designed route map and the professionalism of tutors are the major reasons why my course well so smoothly.The CELTA course is really challenging for a young teacher like me. With the kind help of these nice tutors, I did make gradual progress during the course and found myself more competent in the teaching career. I really thankful the great help from the Athens centre, for you are the ones who boosted my professional development.  Zilin Zhao

CELTA – I just wanted to take a moment to say how impressed I am by Tamta Mshidovadze’s tutoring capabilities. I could not have asked for a better tutor quite honestly. She connected with us so easily and she was extremely professional. Her corrections and tips were so smoothly given that feedback became my favourite part of the course. Her suggestions were clear, to the point, and easy to follow because of her straightforward and practical responses. Her input sessions were motivating, and she was always able to put you in the learner’s shoes so you could evaluate your own ideas. She specifically limited her TTT time to get you thinking of solutions and give you time to process all the information given. She is ‘the Queen’ of activating your background knowledge. I love her practical solutions and suggestions which were perfectly suitable to a sleep-deprived class. I would really follow her to other courses around the world. I will remember her for a long, long time.
