It was a lovely experience

My experience on the CELTA course was very challenging but extremely valuable. The course pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me grow both professionally and personally. I became more aware of my strengths and the areas I need to improve. I learned how to plan lessons more effectively, manage time better, and respond to learners’ needs in a more student centred way. But the workload was intense, the support and guidance from the tutors helped me stay focused and motivated. By the end of the course, I felt more confident in the classroom and more aware of how to continue improving as an English teacher.

I would like to thank the institute for the wonderful CELTA tutors. I learned a great deal from them, and the course was very helpful and practical. Although I wish I had the chance to take it face-to-face, the online experience was still highly effective and enriching.

Overall, I found the ITI DELTA course to be a highly valuable and intellectually stimulating professional experience. The course challenged me to rethink familiar areas of language teaching at a much deeper level and significantly strengthened my analytical skills, particularly in relation to assessment, methodology and language awareness. Although demanding, the structure and academic rigour of the programme encouraged independent thinking and professional growth, and I feel more confident and better equipped to approach both classroom practice and exam preparation in a principled and informed way.

The CELTA course was intense but highly rewarding. It strengthened my lesson planning, classroom management, and student-centred teaching skills. Despite the demanding workload, the course greatly increased my confidence and provided a strong foundation for my future teaching.
