The online intensive CELTA course offered by Teaching House was a great experience.

The course was extremely well organized in its online site and in the progression of topics and teaching practice sessions. The engaging, highly skilled instructors went above and beyond in offering support for lesson planning and in modeling the kind of teaching CELTA advocates: they delivered clear, effective lessons themselves and provided detailed, balanced written and verbal feedback. I would have saved myself some time during the course if my PowerPoint preparation skills had been higher at the beginning. Still, improving my technological skills was another plus for me from the course. Besides the instructors, another highlight was my fellow trainees, especially the “small group” of trainees within the larger group; it was great getting to meet them. Finally, the course included helpful advice and resources on the job market.

The experience was definitely intensive–be prepared for an extremely full four weeks, including work on the weekends. But it was well worth it, a fantastic opportunity.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course. CELTA course is well structured and organized. I learnt several new techniques like using the timeline, CCQ’s to adapt while teaching. The feedback from my peers and teachers kept me on track in the course. The lesson plan guidance with stages, activities and the error correction methods was all new to me. My instructors were very helpful, kept me motivated throughout the course and were always available when I needed them. Also the Job assistance towards the end of the course, from tutors was a great takeaway. The reference materials, books, live input materials are all a great asset to my teaching carrer. Overall, the 3 week CELTA was an excellent learning experience!

I am very thankful that I took this course. It was very helpful and applicable for me. It was a lot of work, but it was worth it. The tutors were very kind, knowledgeable, encouraging, and helpful. The teaching practice that you receive in this course is extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend this course if you are interested in teaching ESL to adults.

The CELTA course with Teaching House was a very rewarding experience. I learned an enormous amount from the tutors, my cohorts, and the fascinating and diverse group of students I was able to teach. They are very organized and provide you with all the tools you need to be successful. It was an enormous amount of work and worth every second. If you want to get your CELTA, Teaching House is a great choice!

Taking the TH CELTA course has been life changing. I had originally signed up for an in-person course which was cancelled due to lack of participants, and was then offered a spot on an online course. I reluctantly agreed, which ended up being a fantastic decision (more on that later).

The tutors were phenomenal, bringing the entire group from the deer-in-headlights stage to “here’s my systems lesson for the day” stage in just under five weeks. The framework is rigorous, logical and extremely efficient. I teach in an area that is not English and found that the framework was so good that it could be applied to my own area of work. My big takeaway: CELTA isn’t just for future English language teachers. It’s a must-try for all educators looking to fine-tune their pedagogical skills.

For those debating online or face-to-face, a note that online teaching is a fast growing area in the education industry. I could see what I learned being translated back to in-person but perhaps not vice versa because of all the tech issues involved in online teaching. Now that I’ve experienced online, I would recommend it over in-person.

It’s a grueling course, no doubt about it. Don’t expect any time time off during the course. No weekends. Hardly enough time to sleep. I have considerable teaching experience but it was no match for the CELTA course. But it was truly worth it.
