I did my CELTA with St Giles. They have branches in the UK and USA. They have a 99% pass rate! I actually did my CELTA in my home city, and found that really useful because I could stay with family. They helped me so much by cooking meals (to make sure I ate!), letting me use their printers and being quiet and considerate when I was working. I deactivated Facebook for the month as well to really focus - I suggest all CELTA trainees do this! The course is open to experienced teachers and people who have never taught before. I actually think it's easier for the totally inexperienced people. The CELTA method is very precise and if you're currently teaching, you may have to adopt some new practices or undo some habits in order to comply with the CELTA way. Remember that although the month-long course is very intensive and informative, the training centre and the trainers really have your best interests at heart. They want you to pass! They'll do what they can to help you get the best score to reflect your teaching abilities. So be open to their feedback and advice, learn from it and put it into practice.
Isobel Rigg so I have the option to do a celta course abroad within the next two weeks or wait 2 months for a celta course in my home country. I am so torn on what to do as I want to start working sooner but I'd rather stay in my own home during the course. What do you think?
Need help! I have 10 years experience teaching English. I have a university degree, do you think I need to take the CELTA? or should I just go for the DELTA?
Thank you for the video, it was super informative. I have recently started the course online, part time with a branch in Spain and although it is quite tiring, (working full time in primary education) I have been enjoying it a lot and looking forward to each course day. Working with students via zoom is different from a real classroom, but we learn to use online tools and that is quite useful these days. Being able to do learning and teaching from the comfort of my home is brilliant and my teachers are super nice and supportive. I watched your video for the first time before I started the course and I found it super helpful. Just wanted to leave this here for those who are thinking to do the course online - it is great! It is also nice studying with people from all around the world, learning about each others' cultures and countries.
@@agathasamuel9116Try to revise grammar before the course as it will be a lot even part time. There are books you can purchase that can help you with preparing. You can find videos on the topic on youtube. Good luck with your course, and enjoy - it will be fun!
Your video is so Good, that was worth it my Subscription! You're doing a Really good job in Supporting and Motivating people. As an Airline Pilot under Unpaid Leave due to Covid-19, I'm going into this for extra income in order to survive as an Expat in Europe. Congrats again!!!
Omg! Thank you so much! I going to take Celta next month and I'm super anxious, I'm afraid to fail and your video gave me the strength to stay positive!!! Thank you so much!
You are awesome Sophie for giving everyone SUCH GENUINE GENEROUS & AUTHENTIC INFORMATION on the topic to everyone & trying to help people about celta so all the best to you !!!
You must be a good teacher, you have great communication skills! The video was very informative and you explained everything perfectly. Congratulations on getting your job in Rome! CELTA has been on my mind for some time now, and I guess it will be for a while, until I make up my mind at least (oh the cost!). Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
You’re right about Americans not learning about grammar. I learned all of those things studying other languages in college, but in elementary school we never did anything like that.
Thanks for the tip! Thankfully, here in Brazil there’s the option of taking classes on Fridays for a semester. I’m taking it next month and I’m very excited! 😍
@@amandalacerda5176 Hello, Amanda! I have just finished the course. The last practice was today! The course is very, very intense! You really need to be prepared because it will consume your time and nerves. They are very rigorous and demanding. But I’m happy and I learned tons of new things. It’s rewarding, but hard! I wish you all the best and encourage you to go for it!
Thank you Sofie that's informative! I'm Halim from Singapore, I'm starting my CELTA course on 1st July after my teaching grammar & pronunciation course on 1st May. Only fully online course is available here. My CELTA course is 3 times a week for 7 weeks, 9am to 5pm.
Thanks for the video - I'm thinking of taking the Celta but was worried because I don't know ANYTHING about the rules of grammar, so good to hear it's still do-able.
Oh i've been waiting for this vidéo for a long time and i'm happy u finally did it . i'm not a native speaker of english but i'm studying in an ''english-teaching School'' 5 Years of studying i'm not that sûre of my Level of english so i really want to do thé Celta to prove to myself that i am that good . u were not négative you were just honest and made it feel like a challenge and i love challenges 🙌 thank u so much Sophie i hope u lot of more success 💕💕
Thanks for the excellent video! I'm going to take the intensive CELTA course at International House in Cape Town in January, and I was thinking that I was going to be able to explore the city in the evenings after the course...you crushed my plans hahaha
So glad you made this video! It made me look forward to taking this course ASAP. I'd appreciated it if you shared a little more about the pay scale in Italy as well, if you don't mind. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this video! I have decided that I want to be an ESL teacher in Germany and had an interest in the International House's school in Frankfurt. Once I finish my BA, I am definitely going for it!
THE BEST PART ABOUT YOUR VIDEO WAS THAT YOU ARE REAL AND EVERY WORD YOU SAID WAS SO TOUCHING THAT ONLY TOUGH PEOPLE CAN DO IT. I AM LITERALLY THANK FUL TO YOU FOR MAKING VIDEOS LKE THIS. BLESS YA AND YES, YOU DERSERVE MORE SUCCESS IN LIFE. GREETINGS ,...Nady Talks
Wow ! That is super informative. I am from, Delhi, India & about to go for this course & your video inspired me a lot. I am 60+ & have almost 40 years of teaching experience ... But im a bit nervous & apprehensive. :)
I `m from Brazil !! And i teach englis it here in my country, but i don`t have any certification and i want to take the celta course!! You are so great thanks for the explanation. Congratulatios for passing your celta course.
Great job Sofie! I really appreciate. I intend to go in for the CELTA hopefully by October. I think I will start working right away just to familiarize myself with it.
Thanks Sophie - really interested in the CELTA as my son is going to a Turkish University to study medicine (my wife is Turkish) - so your video was invaluable in confirming what I had heard about the CELTA course and also in providing details. I don't know where you are from but I definatey hear you about not learning much about grammar (I don't think we learned about MODAL verbs in school in Maryland). Anyway - hope you enjoy Roma. Thanks Again!
*Thank you very much for sharing your experience. It was really helpful for me and really worth it.* I am planning to take the course very soon. From DRC, currently living in Tunisia.
I'm starting my course tomorrow. Glad to hear its worth it. I'm feeling woefully inadequate even as a native english speaker, as we similarly did not study this sort of grammar in school! But looking forward to the challenge!
Wow! Everything I needed to hear about CELTA course. Thank you... I'll do it. I've taught English for more than fifteen years. Before taking the course, though, I will review some things and practice a bit more. In the meantime I will save some of cash, haha! Thank you, Sofie, for sharing your own experiences.
My gosh... I don't think I could take 1 class 9-5 five days a week. That sounds so draining! I might be able to do it if it were my drama class... Because that's just like running around acting like the kid the entire time 😂
@@hopelol200 Well, it's really impossible to describe the course, you just need to experience it yourself to get any idea what it is like. I tell you this, you must be very well prepared mentally cause there is a constant pressure on you and after the first week you might just feel overwhelmed with the tasks. Having a lot of free time every evening is necessary to cope with that. The support of the tutors however is abolutely incredible, real professionals who relentlessly double down on your mistakes telling you exactly which aspects of your classes need improving. They are very specific about it, so I had the feeling I finally began to understand what teaching is really about :) Great pressure - yes - but the satisfaction you get when you pass - priceless! And now I am working in a private school in Poland, the most renowned one in my city - and CELTA certificate was all they need about my credentials :)
@@krzysztofkosciesza5685 thank you for the insight! I just graduated with a BA in English and I really want to do the course so I can feel qualified to teach, but I'm so terrified because I get overwhelmed so easily. They have a part time option which takes longer to complete but gives you more time between the classes, which I personally feel that I need as I am very easily prone to anxiety attacks. Reading your response made me feel like it's certainly worth the stress and pressure however. I'm very glad you found a job at a renowned place! You deserve it 👏👏
@@hopelol200 Thank you, I can definately tell you that the course is worth its price, never think that you can't do something just because it's stressful and you are afraid of it - the bigger the challange the bigger reward - just keep that in mind :) BTW. out of 12 people attending the course 11 successfully passed it, and most of them had had the same feeling as you do right now before the course ;) Anyway good luck!
Honestly, this is what I've been searching for. I've got a clear view of the course, thanks, chumps ❤ A dobut, do they provide admissions throughout the year?
I taught English in Perugia and Naples throughout the 80s. I worked at private language schools (British Institute, Wall St., etc.) I even worked at the Accademia Aeronautica a Pozzuoli (the Italian Air Force Academy) without any credentials whatsoever, except having a knowledge of English better than those who I taught. Has it changed so much? Sounds like it's all about money today. Makes me so sad.
It is not what have but what you know I know people have no knowledge about their major but they have certificates while other have no degree and having great knowledge I know a person who has passed away before a few years speaking Arabic English French and Bangla and he did not even enter an academic institute to learn these languages
I appreciate your honesty! Thank you for this video. I'm an American living in France and have an opportunity to do CELTA and am contemplating whether or not I should do it. Accommodation and cost aren't an issue, but the rigor of it all...I don't know if I can do it. 😦
Hi, Sofie. I'm Ronei from Brazil. I've been teaching English in public schools here in Brazil since 2003. I went to college to train as a teacher. I was wondering if you would like to discuss the differences between training to teach in schools and training to teach in private English courses or one on one?
Thanks a bunch for the great upload:) although Its an old one but I just stumbled upon it now. I hope you are doing fine where ever you are right now. Please upload another video with your experiences so far in teaching as a CELTA certified teacher. Thanks again.
hey sofie! I was wondering if you're able to make a video talking about getting a teaching job in italy, how hard it is, requirements, payscale and etc!
Hey Sofie. Do you realise how valuable is the information you have shared in this video? Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. Would you pls talk a bit more in detail about the questions you were asked in the interview , before you could take up the CELTA? What were your answers?
Hey Sofie! Thanks for the detailed review dear 😇 .. please tell me can an iPad do as my PC isn’t working properly atm! I’m planning to enrol in Celta soon please reply!
Sophie, thank you very much for this video, you really helped me a lot to decide to take this course but first I have to improve my English, I dont feel confident yet to teach anybody or to answer the pre interview task.
Hi sophie I'm from Algeria, I really liked your video but I'm nervous 🤯🤯well the celta course is known for being stressful ! Plz what are the topics of the written assignments and would you please darling show me a sample of a lesson plan ? More pieces of advice plz Thanks a lot and by the way you're beautiful ❤
Doha Du hey doha I’m from Algeria too, and I’m considering the celta too. I’m terrified too tbh. Hit me up on my instagram @ze.art.nerd maybe we can prepare for it together.
You can take one of the longer courses if you don't want to be completely swamped, 4 weeks is the shortest one so they have a lot to get in. There's a reason the CELTA is so highly valued and it's because you do so much work and prove that you can handle stress and hard work. If you want to live as an expat you have to know how to deal with both.
I'm so daunted by the amount of stuff you have to fit in in the few hours in the evenings and at the weekends. I'm thinking a one day a week option would suit me better.... I have seen this option available but I'd have to do it in my home country.
Hey. I was wondering if we could as a part time teacher; cause I was planning to be an English teacher while being in university. So you know, I can't be a full time teacher. Is there anyway to figure that out?
Please can you tell us what types of schools you teach in? Qualifications worked towards of your students for which you prepared them for and their age etc? Private or public schools? I want to do the same in France. Thanks!!
Thanks for the video! I was wondering how much reading there is. I am nervous about that because I worked very hard to get my BA, but it takes me a little extra time to read.
I’d like to teach but I’m scared of speaking to a large group of people as I’m always feeling I’m not that good... does CELTA teach you to overcome those feelings as well? 😁Is it fundamental to have some previous experience abroad, eg. as a student or for job purposes? Thanks 😇
Darn I had to rewind little bits sometimes because I got lost in your eyes 🙈 Anyways, I'm a dutch 30yo guy, lived in Australia for 2 years and received many compliments regarding my english skills. Made me rethink about my life and that I should do something with it. Always worked in sales/logistics, so was a bit scared to take a step to become a teacher (eventhough I'm a pretty confident speaker) and going abroad again, but this vid was just the last little push I needed, thanks! 👌
Can you please please please do a little mini series or even just a video on the grammar and all the things you had to learn about functions and grammar or is all that stuff covered in the first assignment you had to do before arriving to the course?
Dear Sofie, I like your videos a lot. I am an English teacher and I am starting the CELTA course at IH accademia britannica, Rome, this July. I thought I might ask you some questions with regard to the lessons there if you dont mind. 1) How long are the lessons you have to teach? 1 hour? Once you know the level of the sts, can you choose the topic(s) yourself (e.g. A2 class - present simple and everyday activities) or you have to follow your tutor's suggestions (e.g. today we would like you to teach a lesson on present perfect simple vs continuous)? Thank you! Clem :) Have a good one!
Hi Sofie, your video was very helpful, I'm going to start the CELTA course in a few days. I'm only concerned about the fact that, even if you state that CELTA certificate is highly regarded by employers, you are actually a native speaker, so you are considered more than other teachers with the same certificate but non-native. Can you tell me your thoughts? Many thanks 😀

Hey Sofie. Do you realise how valuable is the information you have shared in this video? Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. Would you pls talk a bit more in detail about the questions you were asked in the interview , before you could take up the CELTA? What were your answers?
I could watch her all day.
Thank you for sharing this video
Very full of information.
A BIG THANK YOU from Morocco!
Looking forward, thanks!🙏
Thanks for all the information
Couldn't stop watching because of your perfect teeth.
This was helpful, thank you )
Hey Sofie! Thanks for the detailed review dear 😇 .. please tell me can an iPad do as my PC isn’t working properly atm! I’m planning to enrol in Celta soon please reply!
Great video .....very much appreciated...
Thank you so much Sophie!
i love this! So honest!
Sophie, thank you very much for this video, you really helped me a lot to decide to take this course but first I have to improve my English, I dont feel confident yet to teach anybody or to answer the pre interview task.
Hi sophie I'm from Algeria, I really liked your video but I'm nervous 🤯🤯well the celta course is known for being stressful ! Plz what are the topics of the written assignments and would you please darling show me a sample of a lesson plan ? More pieces of advice plz
Thanks a lot and by the way you're beautiful ❤
Doha Du hey doha I’m from Algeria too, and I’m considering the celta too. I’m terrified too tbh. Hit me up on my instagram @ze.art.nerd maybe we can prepare for it together.
I am also nervous! There are some CELTA preparation classes you can do before. I plan to do 3 week preparation. It does sound unnecessarily rigorous.
Hello there ! I'm Sophia from Algeria too and I'm considering the Celta as well. Good luck to us x
yah tella3tilna la3lam, el okht ♥ ;-*
You can take one of the longer courses if you don't want to be completely swamped, 4 weeks is the shortest one so they have a lot to get in. There's a reason the CELTA is so highly valued and it's because you do so much work and prove that you can handle stress and hard work. If you want to live as an expat you have to know how to deal with both.
Amazing look, amazing story 👏
Thanks for sharing your experience 🌷🌷
Thank you for sharing 🤗💕
Thank you. Great video. So thorough.
great video!! I will be doing the same here in France
I'm so daunted by the amount of stuff you have to fit in in the few hours in the evenings and at the weekends. I'm thinking a one day a week option would suit me better.... I have seen this option available but I'd have to do it in my home country.
Very clear video! thank you 🥰 but with CELTA, your level of english is automatically certified?
Hey. I was wondering if we could as a part time teacher; cause I was planning to be an English teacher while being in university. So you know, I can't be a full time teacher. Is there anyway to figure that out?
Keep up the amazing work Sofie! Looking forward to seeing more videos from you :)
Please can you tell us what types of schools you teach in? Qualifications worked towards of your students for which you prepared them for and their age etc? Private or public schools? I want to do the same in France. Thanks!!
Thanks. That's an inspiring video☺
thanks for making this video!
Thanks for the video! I was wondering how much reading there is. I am nervous about that because I worked very hard to get my BA, but it takes me a little extra time to read.
I’d like to teach but I’m scared of speaking to a large group of people as I’m always feeling I’m not that good... does CELTA teach you to overcome those feelings as well? 😁Is it fundamental to have some previous experience abroad, eg. as a student or for job purposes? Thanks 😇
Darn I had to rewind little bits sometimes because I got lost in your eyes 🙈 Anyways, I'm a dutch 30yo guy, lived in Australia for 2 years and received many compliments regarding my english skills. Made me rethink about my life and that I should do something with it. Always worked in sales/logistics, so was a bit scared to take a step to become a teacher (eventhough I'm a pretty confident speaker) and going abroad again, but this vid was just the last little push I needed, thanks! 👌
Thank you for the video
Thanks for the info my wuestion is what happens if you fail ? Do they give you another chance?or you should pay and sign up again?
Can you please please please do a little mini series or even just a video on the grammar and all the things you had to learn about functions and grammar or is all that stuff covered in the first assignment you had to do before arriving to the course?
Samantha Mable covered in the precorse task! I studied and learned it to complete the assignment
Thanks a lot Sophie!!
My interview is passed, payment and registration form sent I start 29th July
Thank you so mush for your tips))
Dear Sofie, I like your videos a lot. I am an English teacher and I am starting the CELTA course at IH accademia britannica, Rome, this July. I thought I might ask you some questions with regard to the lessons there if you dont mind. 1) How long are the lessons you have to teach? 1 hour? Once you know the level of the sts, can you choose the topic(s) yourself (e.g. A2 class - present simple and everyday activities) or you have to follow your tutor's suggestions (e.g. today we would like you to teach a lesson on present perfect simple vs continuous)? Thank you! Clem :) Have a good one!
Your honesty and motivation gave me such a relief, I was really scared of it, but believe it or not now I feel much better😃
Hi Sofie, your video was very helpful, I'm going to start the CELTA course in a few days. I'm only concerned about the fact that, even if you state that CELTA certificate is highly regarded by employers, you are actually a native speaker, so you are considered more than other teachers with the same certificate but non-native. Can you tell me your thoughts? Many thanks 😀
