I enjoyed the course thoroughly. As someone with a teaching background in a content subject transitioning to English teaching, the learning was invaluable in terms of how to plan and structure lessons and how to make use of resources. The input sessions from the tutors in terms of English Language Teaching pedagogy was top tier. The support for lesson planning and feedback was detailed and personalised and the tutors genuinely want to support you to succeed as best you can. I left the course feeling ready to apply for jobs at top schools and language centres and quickly secured a job in Da Nang, my preferred location. If you're looking to up-skill and open doors in the world of English Language Teaching, I can't recommend this course enough!

I had a great experience on the course, the tutors were extremely supportive and professional, and they were able to make the course fun. The printing facilities could be improved. The students were lovely and I liked the location of the centre.

My experience on the course was wholly positive. John and Bogdan are excellent instructors. They're engaging, knowledgeable, and approachable.

As you've probably read already, doing the CELTA course is tough but hugely gratifying, completely worthwhile. At Apollo in particular, you will find tutors who not only impart but also embody excellent teaching practice. The IT systems could do with updating, but otherwise I was extremely satisfied with how the course was delivered at Apollo.

I really enjoyed my time at CELTA HCMC and learnt so much more than I thought I would from both my tutors and peers. The tutors were incredible; they were professional and very attentive to their students. I learnt a lot from watching their teaching demonstrations. Their classes were interactive and engaging and I never would have imagined that language teaching could be so fun. The teaching practical component was probably the most useful part of the course. Immediately after we taught a lesson, we would receive immediate feedback from both our peers and tutors who observed our lessons. I appreciated the clear feedback our tutors gave us - they would point out specific points in the lessons where things went well, or where things went badly, and they made sure to give us detailed suggestions as to how we could do things better next time or how we could improve. I also really enjoyed the time spent with my tutorial group. I learnt a lot from watching my peers teach - they were incredibly creative and came up with ideas that I would never have thought of myself and by incorporating their ideas into my own lessons, I felt like I became a better teacher. I also really appreciate how encouraging and supportive my tutorial group was; when we faced problems with our own lesson plans, we would often sit together and bounce ideas off each other, or brainstorm solutions to various difficulties that arose. We celebrated each other's strengths and would cheer each other on when we felt they delivered a good lesson, and we would encourage/comfort each other when we felt we didn't do so well at a particular lesson as well as try to give constructive feedback to each other as to how we could improve. Overall, I really enjoyed my time at CELTA HCMC and I do feel more confident about being able to deliver an effective lesson to ESL learners after my time there.
