My toughest challenge is my lack of experience as a teacher. Having zero experience is nerve wracking, as you don't know what's in store for you.

So far so good. I really appreciate the efforts David has done, right from his newsletters, emails and resources. His ideas are simple, innovative and worth it.

I absolutely recommend Pass the CELTA. David's genuineness echoes in his emails for people who want to look forward to a career as an English instructor. His experiences during his CELTA are definitely worth note taking. I haven't started the course yet, but David's regular emails have been a constant source of support and inspiration to me. He's done a commendable job to offer help with things such as tips, advice and ideas. Go team passthecelta.com! Kudos to everyone who are part of this wonderful, innovative, simple yet knowledgeable website.

My biggest challenge about the CELTA course is the workload that I will have to deal with during a very short period of time.

David's newsletters gave me an insight into how the CELTA course will be. It puts me into the right mindset to face my fear and be more confident. Thank you David most sincerely for the helpful tips.

If you are seeking to quench the fire of the questions you have in mind about the CELTA course and to get right tips, tools and support to pass it with flying colors. I highly recommend David's website and newsletter for you, they are really useful. Cheers

I have some challenges with the technical terms of grammar though I am good at the applied aspect of it. I have not had formal teaching experience before. These are the challenges for me.

Pass the CELTA consoled me that the course is intensive but is still very achieveable.

Yes, I would recommend the website to other viewers. It reassures people needing motivation about the course.

Hi. I'm just starting revising and working on it. I had the interview 5 days ago. I ordered books online and started a day after the interview. The course is next year but I want to be prepared and ready. I quite often use your websites as the tips are very helpful and specifics, precise. It's really good, thank you very much

This website guided for the interview, it does help exactly on each area which is absolutely a bonus. I shall use it more as I have lots to revise and read before my course starts. Thank you!

I definitely recommend Pass The CELTA, very helpful and all information needed. Very easy to navigate and clear. Thanks a lot

Just a quick update since we last spoke... I asked some questions about the CELTA pre-interview task and you kindly guided me through some of the points to consider before the interview. Today is the day I complete my CELTA and now I just wait for my certificate to come through.

It’s been a great experience and I’m glad I went ahead with it.

Many thanks for your time and advice prior to taking the CELTA.

Although, I have been a teacher for 4 years, I'm sure that taking the CELTA is no mean feat. My biggest challenge is learning the teaching methodologies and putting them to good use.

The resources at PassTheCelta.com have been hugely enriching and have allayed my fears to a considerable degree. I'll be sure to recommend it to others.

My biggest concern was that I was just going to be bombarded with information! And that I was supposed to know everything quickly and the trainers would be testing me on everything.

Thanks to the information and interviews on passthecelta.com, I found out that the trainers are there to help and encourage us, and all the trainees are in it together! I was definitely reassured!

The information on passthecelta.com is a great way to get an idea of what to expect, what to look out for, and how to prepare. It's nice to have the information from a former trainee, as well as interviews with real, seasoned trainers! Thanks, David!

My biggest challenge is standing up in front of enthusiastic adult students for the first time and teaching!

The website has helped me feel a bit more confident. The resources are good and to the point. They give you a general idea of what the course will expect from you. Brilliant tips as well!

I would recommend your website. It gives a lot of insight about teaching. Eliciting, course skills etc. The interviews are also very helpful and reassuring. I must admit I'm petrified but also very curious and impatient to start! Thanks!
