I have just completed Delta Module 3 and would like to highlight the exceptional level of reciprocity the tutors demonstrated throughout the course. Their feedback was not only constructive but also developmental. They were always easy to reach between sessions, which created a strong sense of continuous support and meant I never felt alone with the workload.

A special mention to Elna and Suzanne, who were both excellent throughout the course. Elna consistently provided valuable, honest, and constructive feedback on assignments, which was greatly appreciated. I would also like to thank Simon for his ongoing support and for his thoughtful, clear, and concise feedback, which was always helpful and encouraging.

I can wholeheartedly recommend ATI! I have done the M2 and M3 online with them. The tutors, Dr. Phipps and Suzan (M2), Elna and Barbara (M3) were very professional, knowledgeable and supportive throughout the course. Under their guidance, the DELTA is an achievable objective. The course structure and materials are clear, well-organized and easy to follow. I enjoyed our online sessions a lot and will surely miss them! Thank you for a fantastic course experience!

Overall, the course was well planned, and the tutors were supportive. The only criticism I would have is that sometimes the feedback took quite a while to be returned, which stalled things. The initial online session with Simon was extremely helpful, while the others were useful I think they could have involved more participant input and possibly been more opportunities to give direct participant feedback on submissions in the session.

Before taking this course, I was already familiar with lesson planning and teaching methods, as I graduated from an ELT department and have been actively teaching English for several years, mainly to higher-level learners. This prior experience helped ease my progress on the CELTA course, and I am glad it did. However, I still learned a great deal about various aspects of lesson planning and teaching. For example, I learned how to conduct an effective lesson in an online environment using clear language and by reducing TTT. Sometimes I may not be fully aware of how much I talk in class, so whenever I am teaching, I remind myself to “not talk too much,” and to give learners more space. I also developed a greater awareness of ICQs, CCQs, and MFP, and how important they are for students’ progress.
