PS Download my *free e-book* , 15 Mistakes to Avoid When Preparing for a CELTA Course here *now* : geni.us/celta15mistakes !!

3 Things to avoid: 1. Less TTT - teacher talking time 2. grading your language according to the level of students. 3. Too much planning for the first lesson You may thank me by giving likes. Good Luck

Really useful thanks. Just started CELTA course, and already feeling calmer after day 1 than in the whole previous week :)

Great advice! I just finished my CELTA training in Zürich - It was really intense, but a highly eye-opening and positive experience overall! I found that limiting TTT helps immensely :)

good to hear you got through it!

Watching you from 2020 I can't thank you enough, seriously!!!

Thank you for your help. I certainly I am guilty of over planning as well. I am going to rethink this pattern and consciously avoid this point.

PS If you're confused by my points at 1:16 - don't worry, so am I! Basically, teachers need to talk to do a lesson, but not too much :)

Thank you 😊

2020 .. thank you so much !!!

I realize this is an old video but I am going to take my CELTA next year. Your videos are so super helpful and have really helped me have an idea of what to expect and begin preparing myself. Thanks for taking your own time to have made these videos. Your hard work is appreciated.

CELTA Helper TV LOL no worries. My CELTA is officially in May next year. So I have some time. I am so grateful for your content. I even paid for a Udemy online class that helps you get Pass A in CELTA. Got the text books they use in the course and am ready to devour the material before May. I will let you know how it goes. It will cost me $2200 US so I don’t just want to pass I want to get Pass A. Get my moneys worth out of it. 😀

CELTA Helper TV I am 12% through the course by Keewhan Kim. Just finishing up the first part. I’m off to Poland for the month of September and may complete most of the course on the plane on my trip to ward off boredom. I will send you an email about my review. I hope it will help your other learners.

It was too avoid trying to do too much in one lesson. Just be realistic about what you can achieve in the time you have for that lesson. 👍

Hi there. Well, I suppose it is about focusing on your weaker areas in your IELTS band scores to bring them up. While you do that, start to think about how you'd explain the points you are learning to others who are of a lower level than you (perhaps 4.0). You can then offer to teach friends via Zoom for practice to see how well you know the points and if you enjoy it. Stick with it and good luck!

Using a synonims dictionary with pictures

So let me understand during the course no training is given to the studens, I was going to try to do the CELTA in July of this year but if I understand there will be no training given so how will I know how to make a lesson plan or give a lesson. I teach online one to one and use pre made lesson plans. So it seems for most students it is a total waste of time unless there is training given, but you have not indicated that training is given also other former students have said that there is no training, this means it is simply an assesment course nothing more.

Hi Paul. No, training is indeed given on the CELTA but it's very much expected that you try to complete the tasks with minimal input then improve based on feedback. You will also get lots of input into language teaching and managing the classroom etc.

​@@CELTAHelper Paul is right; there is no training given! I took the CELTA with a horrible school, 'Stafford House London,' and they were awful; I left the course because it was confusing and the tutor was terrible and biased. I lost 1400GBP. Unfortunately, I need the certificate, so I registered with another school and will start tomorrow. Hopefully, there will be training and good communication, at least. Thanks for the videos CELTAHelper. I need to learn these terms; they were not given to us in my previous awful CELTA course.

I plan and worry way too much
