International Training Institute


"The course was intensive, challenging, and highly worthwhile. Over the duration of the course, I made clear progress in several key areas of my teaching, especially staging, grading my language, classroom management, and, most importantly, ensuring that my lessons met their main and sub-aims more effectively. As a result, my lessons became much more student-centred, meaningful, and productive. The course pushed me to reflect critically on my practice and helped me become a more precise, purposeful, and effective teacher."

"Because I took the online course, I've never visited the location and as a consequence I hold no particular opinion towards it. But the course as a whole has been lovely, and I am both glad to finally receive the result of my efforts and sad to see it all end. It has been a pleasure."

"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."

"I came to the course with no experience of teaching English and could not imagine how to conduct a lesson in English - where to start, how to develop it, or how to bring it to a close. During the course, I learned how to structure different types of lessons and clearly understood the difference between teacher-centred and student-centred approaches. I became familiar with lesson aims and lesson shapes, as well as practical classroom techniques such as finger coding, on-the-spot correction, and delayed error correction. Most importantly, I stopped following the coursebook blindly and began experimenting with tasks and adapting lesson procedures to suit my aims and my students’ needs. A few months ago, I would not have imagined creating my own lessons or teaching adult learners. I also learned how to write effective lesson plans, anticipate potential problems, and minimise risks during lessons. I am very proud of the progress I have made and truly grateful to everyone involved in the course. In particular, I am deeply grateful to my tutors, Elizabeth Aykanat and Zahra Kermani, who supported me throughout the entire course. Their guidance, constant encouragement, and detailed feedback on lesson planning, classroom management, and lesson delivery were invaluable. Thanks to their clear explanations and constructive advice, I gained confidence in my teaching and successfully delivered eight lessons. Their professionalism, patience, and belief in my potential played a crucial role in my development as a teacher, and I am sincerely thankful for their support. Lala Ismailova"
