Whether you are new to teaching, or a teacher with experience, CELTA is a course that requires preparation ahead to pass it and get the most out of it. This preparation course with me, Ahmad Zaytoun an Official CELTA Trainer, will ensure that you know everything you need before your CELTA starts.
Why this course? because you will be learning from a CELTA tutor who has the same experience, and knowledge about CELTA as the tutors who will be training you on your CELTA course.
By the end of this course, you will not only be informed about CELTA, but you will also have the knowledge of planning lessons, writing assignments, and techniques for teaching your assessed lessons. The course spares no detail when it comes to what CELTA involves.
The carefully-planned eight sections of this course address everything a CELTA candidate needs to know to be ready for CELTA.
Highlights from the course:
Explanation of the assessment criteria (get to know what we, tutors, look for when assessing a CELTA trainee)
