International Language Centre Student Reviews


I am deeply grateful to my tutors: Katherine Protsenko, Helen Taranenko, and Anna Basarab. Your constant support and high expertise contribute to a rewarding experience of CELTA at ILC.

, CELTA student,

I am an experienced teacher. The work on elicitation, staging & the different models for the organisation of lessons was very useful. I enjoyed all of the input sessions. It might be an idea to inform students FULLY as to the workload. I have never felt so exhausted, & most of my colleagues worked harder than I did. Also it might be useful to prepare students, even those who are experienced teachers, that performing the staging techniques in the allotted time is vey difficult & stressful [I found the difficulty to achieve this rather disheartening to my confidence; it was something I was unprepared for]. It is hard to explain that although one performs these techniques in a less systematised fashion, undertaking them in the prescribed time [which all of us found virtually impossible] was very stressful indeed [it is really a 6 week course compressed into 4]. One has the experience, because of this, of teaching Ss one feels one does not know, which is vey disconcerting; it was hard to really feel at ease with the Ss [especially the Elementary level Ss]. For this reasons I would have preferred to do 6 one hour lessons. This slightly more relaxed regime would, furthermore, have permitted students to be a bit more creative. However these are criticisms of the central administration of CELTA itself not ILC. The tutors were very good & pleasant; in particular Kateryna knew more about TEFL than anyone I've ever met. The price was extremely competitive, & the organisation of the course was excellent.
