Teacher Training Testimonials
Since 1977, when we ran our first CELTA course at St Giles, thousands of teachers have completed our TEFL courses and gone on to teach English all over the world. Below are some of their comments:
John Tittle, CELTA, San Francisco
"The CELTA at St Giles is a lifelong investment in my future. The trainers provided countless insights and direction. With the CELTA I feel equipped to teach English in an accurate, engaging and helpful way … I enthusiastically recommend this course to anyone who is considering teaching English overseas."Talia Lash, Teacher at St Giles London Central
"I really enjoyed my course at St Giles. The four weeks were very intense, but the support and guidance from the Teacher Trainers was excellent throughout, and by the end of the course I really felt I’d learnt a lot. I’d never taught before so I was quite nervous at first, but the course gave me the knowledge and teaching techniques I needed to build my confidence. I was really happy to be offered a job at the end of my course, and I have been teaching at St Giles ever since."Steve Byrne, CELTA, San Francisco
"Three days after arriving in Mexico, I landed a job with a language center. I cannot express to you how valuable the CELTA course has been in the classroom. Right from my very first class I have been confident and able to give effective language instruction."Vivienne Emery, CELTA, Brighton
"I trained to be a teacher at St Giles in Brighton, the course gave me a great insight into teaching and I left with a new found confidence in my ability to teach. On completion I was offered a job in Japan and I taught English there for three years. I then decided to teach in Bolivia for a year. On returning to England, I taught at St Giles in Eastbourne and I am now back teaching at St Giles Brighton."Hugh Podmore, Trinity Cert. TESOL, London
"I did my Trinity Cert. TESOL at St Giles London Central. Afterwards I moved to Seville in Spain to teach English there. When I arrived, I realised that I was better-equipped to teach than a number of my new colleagues who had trained elsewhere."My training at St Giles prepared me extremely well for teaching abroad, and I would recommend it to anyone considering a career in TEFL."
