MY EXPERIENCE: CELTA COURSE (is it worth it?💵)

[@mouradbouatia9479]

Hello miss, thank you for the video. Because you have the details experience in SELTA course I would like you to help me to decide if this course is suitable for me as a visually impaired. So could you please tell me how can I contact you for the details as much as possible

[@haytchkay659]

Hello thanks for the video! :) I’m thinking of doing the course part time because I have not studied in a long time. what are your thoughts on doing it part time instead of full time.

[@lemonizi]

Hi! I did the full time so I truly don't know about the part time mode 😞

[@haytchkay659]

@@lemonizi oh okay but I mean do you think things would have felt easier or more relaxed instead of the intensity of full time..or you prefer to get it done quicker ?

[@myra1642]

I found CELTA quite easy (part time). I enjoyed it and got grade B

[@sshein20]

Hi! can you fail the course?

[@lemonizi]

@@sshein20 yes, even though it's quite rare 🙏🏻 and the trainers follow you as much as possible to help you

[@diogoribeirobeiral]

I survived CELTA course! I’m so happy! It was very consuming ande insane, but I’m proud of me! 😃

[@lemonizi]

AAH GREAT JOB! I'm so proud of you, it is definitely an achievement! 🥰🥰

I was looking for relatively recent types of feedback on this course because I'd really like to become an English teacher both for adults and children. I am 28 and about to graduate with a bachelor in early childhood education in Italy after having worked as a nanny and English tutor full time : after being quite confused for sometime and still working but part time as a tutor, I have enough money to invest in this course ... I am quite nervous since I am not exactly fresh out of highschool, but your video really gave me the boost I needed to confirm my decision!! Thank you so much for all the details! I am a native speaker and would really like to formalize my English!

[@lemonizi]

sorry for answering just now, I haven't seen your comment 🙏🏻 thank you for your lovely message and I wish you good luck with your future journey ❤️

[@lululuka789wow]

How do you know that you've passed the course? is there a final exam or smth.? Or is it just a combination of what you've done throughout the course?

[@lemonizi]

@@lululuka789wow it's a combination! ❤️ Everything gets tested throughout the course

[@lululuka789wow]

@@lemonizi Nice! I feel reassured, thank you very much for your help ❤️

[@lemonizi]

@@lululuka789wow I'm glad to read it! it's still difficult and it takes a lot of work, but it's definitely worth it

[@vivianagutierrez3959]

Thank you for this video, you gave a lot of information! It has given me a lot to think about. I have been wanting to take the CELTA course but I always think I can’t do it. Even though I do classes, I’m nervous of public speaking. I’m wondering, how long are the classes you have to do. You explained in the video you have to do 6 hours of practice, is it 1 hour each class (in your practice)? Again, thank you so much for this info, very helpful.

[@ShiqiHu-i5z]

Another question，do I have to take any other exam before to take Celta course? And is it any level of English can the course or I should prepare to improve my English first then I take the course?

[@lemonizi]

I was thinking about making a video answering these questions, so I can give a more complete answer because it can be long 🥲🥲

[@ShiqiHu-i5z]

@@lemonizi ok I will waiting for you, before that, I’m gonna keep improving my English

[@lemonizi]

that's super smart to do! again, wishing you good luck with your studies @@ShiqiHu-i5z

[@ioanatolcea4353]

Are we required to prove the C1 certification? thank you 😊

[@lemonizi]

Usually at least a C1 level is preferred. I know some begin their journey with a B2, but I always recommend striving for more - it can give a broader vision and also more awareness of the language itself 💓

[@duncanmcloed1]

Thank you Paulina 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.

[@lemonizi]

AAH Good luck with your course, it's an amazing experience and I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did (even if it's tough 😅)

[@duncanmcloed1]

@@lemonizi Thank you :)

[@danielaannamariamagnoni437]

Hello Paulina, I wonder how much focus on serious classroom management issues there is in the Celta course. Thank you

[@imadsarrakhi8021]

Hey, Where did u take it? Is there a website that I have to check out?

[@lemonizi]

Hi! I took it with International House 🙏🏻

[@noceranunzio]

Does the teachers ' English have to be perfect Or he /she is allowed to make some mistake during the lessons? !😮..beautiful teacher anyway 😊

[@lemonizi]

nobody is perfect - mistakes are normal 💞 obviously slips can happen, it's important to notice them and make sure students know 🙏 (sorry for answering so so late, I had net problems)

[@AbdulhaiAmna]

Hello, how are you ? I wanna ask onething more that I'm a teacher of Arabic language in Saudi Arabia, but now I want to switch my teaching from Arabic to English and want to do CELTA, so how much I need to improve my English? I actually know about teaching techniques and methodology as I've learnt the book ' Look Inside by Jim Scrivener and A-Z ELT by Scott Thornbury. And in Grammar " Essential Grammar In Use by Raymond Murphy. But I'm not very good in Speaking and Listening English. So which level of English is required to achieve for doing and passing in CELTA?

[@lemonizi]

Hi! knowing the methods and techniques behind teaching definitely help - for the level, I believe that a C1 would be a good goal, below that it can be quite challenging 😬 thanks for your feedback and good luck with your career change 💞

[@AbdulhaiAmna]

@lemonizi Hello Hope you will be pretty well. I've one more question, please. Could you please tell me about the names of the books which you've learnt in CELTA?

[@priyankakothari9491]

Is it only about grammar and vocabulary? 😢i am going to start next week.

[@lemonizi]

nuu not only, actually it's not much about vocab or grammar. On the contrary it's about teaching techniques, understanding mistakes, giving feedback, and so much more! You'll learn so so much

[@ShiqiHu-i5z]

Is it an online course?

[@lemonizi]

It can be online, hybrid or in a physical structure it truly depends on where you choose to apply and the mode you prefer

[@ShiqiHu-i5z]

@@lemonizithank you so much!

[@ShiqiHu-i5z]

Thank u so much🎉❤

[@ariannelg]

Thank you for your video! Were you a teacher before? Did you have any prior teaching experience or education?

[@lemonizi]

Hi! I've never 'really' taught before, but in the years I've helped tutoring students and I've also had some 'teaching' tasks in my previous job (but nothing related to education, in that context)

[@ariannelg]

@@lemonizi thank you! Did you wish you had or was the course fine with this?

[@lemonizi]

@@ariannelg the course was fantastic, they help you in every way possible 🙏🏻 I would definitely do it again
