My overall experience on the CELTA course was very positive. Although the course was intensive and at times very challenging, it was also extremely rewarding. The combination of input sessions, teaching practice, and constructive feedback from tutors provided me with both the theoretical background and practical classroom skills I was hoping to gain. I especially appreciated the supportive atmosphere created by the tutors and peers, which made the learning process collaborative and motivating. I leave the course feeling much more confident, reflective, and prepared to continue developing as an English language teacher.

Overall, the CELTA journey was a very positive experience for me. It gave me the opportunity to polish my teaching skills, revisit core principles and techniques, and once again realize how important our job truly is. The Teaching Practice component was the part of the course that contributed most to my professional development. My tutors, Mr. Fatih and Mr. Kadir, made the journey both enjoyable and challenging in a constructive way. Their feedback was always clear, focused, and encouraging. It helped me reflect on my teaching and improve without ever feeling criticized. Their attention to detail truly impressed me, and I am grateful for the time and effort they devoted to supporting us. The input sessions were also helpful and enjoyable. The way Müge Hoca conducted her sessions created a relaxed atmosphere where everyone felt included and valued. Her approach made it clear that everyone’s presence mattered and that each contribution counted. My only small suggestion would be to adjust the balance between input and activities. Sometimes there seemed to be slightly too many interactive tasks at the beginning, which might have been more effective after the main input. This is, however, just a personal preference and a minor point. As for Nazan Hoca, she seemed a bit less experienced, and it appeared she might need additional support to deliver sessions as effectively as possible. With more guidance, I believe she could develop further and become more confident in her delivery. In conclusion, the CELTA course was both enriching and transformative. I leave it not only with stronger skills but also with renewed motivation and respect for our profession.

Amazing.

Everything was absolutely perfect!

The CELTA course was tough but very rewarding. I learned so much in a short time, especially about lesson planning, managing the classroom, and reflecting on my teaching. It gave me more confidence and showed me how much I can improve with practice and feedback.
