I cannot speak more highly of the trainers. They were incredibly helpful, informative and supportive. Very responsive to our (often many!) questions over email and in person.

The course is certainly intense. I did the part-time blended course (online input sessions during the week and teaching on the Saturday). If you have a full-time job that is often 50 hours a week, expect to do very little in your spare time other than Celta. But having just completed it, I can confirm that every hour was worth it.

For anyone wanting to do Celta, I would definitely recommend Stafford House.

I was highly impressed with the teaching at Stafford House. I felt supported and encouraged throughout the course and have learned a lot from my time studying there. I was also impressed, as they even gave me guidance regarding future development after the CELTA. I would definitely recommend Stafford House to others, due to the quality of tutors and the pleasant environment.

The CELTA course was excellent. The two tutors were extremely knowledgeable and supportive throughout. The course itself was hard work for the entire month but if you are dedicated it is a very rewarding experience. Stafford House has a very pleasant atmosphere with both friendly staff and students. I thoroughly recommend studying a CELTA at Stafford House.

I came into the course with no experience and very little understanding of how to teach English as a foreign language and it still amazes me how much one can learn in such a short amount of time! The course took a lot of hard work and required complete dedication, but there was masses of support from both the tutors and my fellow classmates and this was what I needed to see it through to the end.

The tutors are professional, highly knowledgeable and supportive; there was one occasion where I really thought I could not keep up with the workload, but after seeking help from my tutor I got the assistance and assurance that I needed to get back on track.

The practical experience was invaluable as I could try out teaching methods what its like to teach actual students.

To sum up Stafford House is a truly great place to start your career in TEFL, couldn’t recommend enough!

I would highly recommend Stafford House to everybody who is interested in doing CELTA course. I’ve finished part time one and I really liked it from the start. Tutors at the school were very friendly and supportive. Their valuable feedback helped me to make quick progress so I felt more and more competent and relaxed from one teaching practice to the other. The school is very well equipped with interactive boards and many course books.

This is an excellent course and I would highly recommend it to others. The quality of the tutors, as well as the feedback and assistance, are immeasurable. The course runs at a very fast pace so be prepared to work hard and learn quickly. There is a lot of team work and our team became very close during the month. I am still in touch with many of them. Throughout the course you need the support of not just your tutors, but also your team to get you through. This was encouraged and was really helpful. I had never taught before and I know this course has prepared me well for teaching English. Well done Stafford House tutors and administrative team!

Doing CELTA at Stafford House London is perhaps the best experience I’ve ever had. The CELTA tutors were absolutely brilliant and supportive and so were my colleagues. The TP feedback was constructive yet encouraging. Despite the intensity of a full time course, I looked forward to going to class every day. I couldn’t recommend Stafford House London highly enough.

An excellent course with great, experienced, tutors.

You teach classes of differing abilities, have many input sessions, observe a range of experienced teachers and receive useful feedback on every lesson you teach.

Some trainees on the course got jobs before the end.

I think the Stafford House is the best place to do the CELTA course. The input sessions were diverse and informative. The teaching practice sessions were really helpful because you received thorough feedback about your performance.

The course tutors were helpful and encouraging. They were able to make an insecure trainee believe in her/himself and release his full potential. Furthermore, they encouraged teamwork and contributed to the group harmony.

I totally recommend the Stafford House and can’t imagine a better place to do the CELTA!

I had my CELTA course done at Stafford House. The tutors were amazing and helpful and they inspired me a lot. The course is intense and requires lots of work, but it is really incredible to see the improvement and the confidence you can gain throughout the process. I enjoyed every minute of it. The location is great and all staff are very friendly. Highly recommended.
