I had a truly amazing experience taking this course. It was hard and really intense, but the people I met during the course have become some of my closest friends. And our tutors, Jon & Lise, were so incredibly helpful and supportive. The location was great, there is lots of food to enjoy in the area, and the supermarket next door has some great ice cream selections for an afternoon pick-me-up. Like I said, the course is difficult and intense, and I endured a lot of sleep deprivation, but I came out the other side of this experience with a plethora of new skills, knowledge, and friendships on my belt. If you’re thinking about taking the CELTA course, I highly recommend Jon & Lise right here in Ho Chi Minh City!

This CELTA course was intense and extremely rewarding. Tutors, Jon & Lise, were consistently attentive, provided useful input and constructive feedback that supported my self-awareness, self-discipline and improvement. The course coordinator, Minh, was always responsive and helpful. Though demanding, the shared experience helped build a positive learning environment, for which my batch mates and I are truly grateful. I began without previous teaching experience and now I’m confident to begin teaching professionally. 5-stars! Highly recommend!

I had a positive experience where I know areas I need to improve to be an effective teacher

I had such an enriching journey. The tutors were so helpful and I learned a lot from them.

Although I already had several years of teaching experience and a master’s degree in the field, I chose to take this course to refine my skills and become a more effective teacher. Jon and Lise’s constructive feedback and thoughtful guidance helped me do exactly that. My biggest takeaway is the importance of being purposeful and thinking critically when planning lessons and activities. Every decision needs a clear intention and should help students move toward their goals. The course is extremely intensive, so you really do need to put other responsibilities aside to focus and complete it successfully.
