It was unique and valuable experience that I recommend to every teacher who aspires for development
New experience- new vision
I found the course Intensive and fabulously rewarding. The tutors were friendly, patient and impressive in every situation. The course provided me with skills and knowledge to improve my lesson planning and other practical aspects of my teaching. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Grade Education Centre and the CELTA training course.
It was great!
In general, the course was pretty challenging, tutors / staff were helpful and supportive.
I'm glad I chose this place to take the course. The center is located in a nice area which is very close to the metro station. As for the course I was satisfied as well. Most of the inputs were informative and teaching practice feedback was very detailed. I'd especially like to mention that the tutors were extremely supportive throughout all of the course. There were a few administrative problems related to equipment but they were usually solved soon after a problem had been reported. Overall, I definitely recommend Grade to anyone who is going to take this course in Ukraine.
The course was useful, especially in terms of learning new concepts, sharing experience and learning from more experienced tutors and collegues, and constant feedback on everything you do.
The course was well organized and practical, staff were very helpful and polite
The course was great! Thank you for the experience!
It was the best and simultaneously the most challenging experience I've ever had . I'm positive it was worth doing it . After CELTA it seems that you can move mountains :) And everything could be conquered with strength and will power within ourselves .
I was informed that it was going to be very intensive and challenging, but I hadn't expected that it would be that demanding, stressful and sometimes exhausting. I felt it was going to be great, although I didn't even think that it would turn out to be so amazing, involving and educational. I learnt a great deal more than at the university. That's true, indeed. I'm so lucky to have met such knowledgeable, sophisticated and wise tutors. I'm very thankful to all my colleagues who were friendly, cheerful and helpful. The greatest team I've ever worked with and I'm truly delighted that we went together to the end. I miss that atmosphere, the tutors and colleagues after the course. The CELTA course at Grade Educational Center is a great opportunity for Ukrainian teachers to gain unique and valuable experience as well as become more professional and confident teachers.
CELTA was a great experience for me as a beginning teacher. The course was intensive and I've learnt a lot of new things. The inputs were very informative and interesting - the information and materials are up-to-date and applicable. The tutors were amazing - patient, helpful and always ready to answer tons of questions. CELTA is a fresh, modern view at teaching. I'll definitely recommend the course, as it is a great way to develop as a teacher.
I worked harder and learned more during this course than any other I have taken in my academic career. As an American, my instruction over grammar had been lower than my colleagues, but the tutors and my colleagues were there to help me at every step.
The best course I've ever had!
Very intensive and stressful course, yet very useful and professionally established and taught. Preparation for the course is a must, especially to the beginning teachers (otherwise, be ready to run a 100-mile marathone). Overall, great experience!!!
Fantastic!
Amazing professional and friendly atmosphere, helpful and cheerful staff, challenging but manageable programme and schedule, wonderful tutors.
That was a really demanding course, but it was worth it!
I was happy to take the course at this very center with its wonderful tutors. This experience was challenging, but rewarding.
Thank you for the inspiration to develop and grow professionally! Thank you for the brilliant tutors!
Everything was fine, I am completely satisfied. If I had a chance I would come to get DELTA. The tutors were amazing, friendly enough and rather tolerant, the administration reacted quickly, we had all the stuff we needed. Also a big thank you word to the guard always saying goodbye and good morning. I
CELTA at Grade in Kiev was a great value. The center provided 24/7 access to the building and rooms with computers and printers. The staff was responsive to candidates' needs and was prompt and professional regarding pre-course inquiries. I would reccommend this city because it is beautiful and not expensive. Also, Ukranian people are serious students so you will have strong support from your cohort.
Extremely challenging but highly enjoyable.
The course was efficient for me and after the course I feel more confident. I really liked the tutors and the content of the course and the group and everything!!! But life is unpredictable and now I am teaching children, so I think CELTYL is waiting for me:)
It was a real challenge, but it was useful.
I would like to say that it was undoubtedly intensive and interesting month of my studying. The CELTA course is the very first step of my teaching career. It is the best thing I have ever done but also the hardest that I ever had to do. I should admit that I did a lot of improvement and got a great experience thanks to our amazing tutors, Amir and Missy. They completely changed my views on teaching process. This course helped me to realize that nothing is impossible. It opened my eyes to a world full of possibilities for my future! Many thanks for an inspiring course with the best tutors ever!!!
The course was very interesting, but intensive and challenging. All Grade staff was very friendly. The tutors were good, especially Svitlana. The guys from our group were very supportive. I liked our timetable: we started at 1p. m., so it wasn`t very hot. To my mind, during summer it makes sense. I have benefited a lot from the course and I definitely want to continue my cooperation with Grade.
A well-balanced and well-organised training course conducted by tremendously proficient and exceptionally erudite tutors in a highly professional manner.
CELTA course was extremely useful for my professional develoment. It was hard but rewarding and I hope implement this methodology into my future work and to continue my professional development.
It was a demanding but very rewarding course! I learned a lot! Thank you!
I've got very valuable experience there)
The course was extremely tough and intensive, though really effective. Tutors were very helpful. Overall it's an amazing experience for every teacher, and I had a great time there with my peers!!!
It is an extremely practical and useful course which gives teachers plenty of ideas that really work. It was a great experience for me to upgrade my skills in language teaching and find out about new trends. I am grateful to our wonderful trainers and all the staff of Grade school for their invaluable help and support during the course.
It was a useful course which helped me to improve my teaching skills. It helped me to become stress-resistant and ready to work under pressure. Extremely challenging but incredibly rewarding! Thank you!
it was really exciting and rewarding experience! thank you:)
Eveything and everyone was great! I am very glad that I've chosen Grade Education Center. Tutors are great professionals, very supportive. The administrative staff was ready to help any minute. I am very grateful to all people involved in the course. I gained unforgettable and valuable experience!
I am incredibly happy that I took this course as I feel more confident now. I discovered key principles of successful teaching. I like gradual development and assessment of the important teaching skills. It was quite tough to prepare language and grammar analysis for grammar lessons, but the reason was lack of teaching experience. Overall, I always needed more time to make my lesson close to successful. I tried to make a detailed plan but I didn't have time to rehearse it a couple of times so I sometimes was in a mess.
Everything was great! I'm more than pleased with the opportunity to study in your center. Thank you all!!
I really loved the course. I can recommend it to everyone who wants professional development.
Although I have 20+ years experience of teaching I am glad I enrolled in the CELTA course and I am glad I have made it. It was very challenging but rewarding:-) (I guess most participants say that)
It was an amazing experinece and with the help of our great tutors I've learnt so much. I had a chance to look at my teaching from another angle and in a very natural way was able to accept and apply a lot of new technigues. The tutors sort of guided us through the course. I absolutely loved it!
Before I started the course I had already had some experience teaching English, but I quickly learned just how much I needed to improve. With help from the tutors (Svitlana and Jackie) I saw a lot of progress. Tutors were the highlight of the course. Friendly, supportive, knowledgeable and infinitely patient. I’m thankful for their tips and feedback. The school resources were excellent! Everything we needed was available. The input sessions were really well-ordered, the hand-outs were really professional and helpful and the teaching was engaging. A really valuable experience. I can say that the CELTA course at Grade Education Center (Kyiv) made me a much more professional and effective teacher.
I've just completed my CELTA at the Grade Education Centre. It was a great, very practical course and I feel that now I'm equipped with the essential skills and knowledge to start teaching. Special thanks to our tutors - Svitlana and Jackie. They criticised us, gave very detailed and useful feedback, shared their experience and supported us in everything. Overall, I would highly recommend Grade for doing CELTA!
it was a great experience!!!
I'm greatly impressed by the course. To tell the truth, it surpassed my expectations. It's highly intensive and practical. It gave me loads of new information and helped to get structured the knowledge I had before . All methods and techniques we were taught really work and are applicable almost at any level. We had an opportunity to use and verify them during the teaching practice.As a bonus, I've improved my time management skills which are also important to success on this course. Аnd all this thanks to our great tutors Svitlana Bulkina and Jackie Hadel. Thank you for your professionalism and support!
As I cannot afford to quit working for a month, dedicating all of my time to the course, I decided to take the part-time course, which lasted for two months and turned out to have a very convenient schedule for me. Apart from the schedule, I was very happy with the trainers, Svitlana Bulkina and Jackie Hadel, administrators, premises, facilities and also, the group I was in. All of it definitely contributed to our comfortable preparation for our lessons, delivering them and during the inputs. At any time we could come and find the room, materials, the copier or anything necessary, and if anything unexpected came up, Grade friendly and helpful staff were ready to assist and solve any problem, which all trainees were enormously grateful for given the stressful conditions of the course, continuous haste and trying to make everything work best. Since CELTA is not a relaxing course, but an intensive one (which is good as unless you get out of your comfort zone, you won`t grow professionally), all of the above mentioned definitely made the process smoother. If anyone there doubts which center to choose, I`m sure that Grade Education Center is the one they will be appreciative of. Best of luck for all future CELToids!
It was an amazing experience!!! I do appreciate all help and support I was provided with during the course. I am very thankful to both administrative staff and our lovely tutors for being real friends, while encouraging and cheering us up. My experience on the course was both challenging and interesting and, moreover I've practiced a lot of useful and important teaching skills that helped me to improve into a better teacher.
I’ve just finished a part-time CELTA course at GRADE education center. My aim was to acquire theoretical and practical knowledge of the best practices of Cambridge teaching standards to become more efficient and professional English language teacher for adult learners. Thanks to my course tutors Svitlana Bulkina and Jackie Hadel as well as to the fellow teacher-students I may say that I've achieved my goal and now I'm ready to further polish up my teacher style and skills in a due direction. I enjoyed the part-time CELTA course a lot for I had the possibility to see the immediate favorable and practical results by introducing the newly obtained teaching techniques to my regular groups of business English learners. My lessons had become more student-centered and specifically targeted, with less teacher talking time and better time management. This was and continues to be the greatest motivating factor for me. I'm grateful to the course trainers for their high professionalism and guided support throughout the course. The administrative staff is extremely helpful and empathic. The overall atmosphere of Grade education center is friendly, professional, positive and customers’ focused. Should you think of CELTA or any other course, try GRADE first.
Taking a part-time CELTA course at Grade Education Centre felt challenging but managable. The tutors were really supportive and all components of the course were useful. I really feel that I learned and grew as a teacher.
That was an experience of a lifetime, largely to our wonderful tutors and to the fact that we were never bored with what we were doing! Thanks a lot to them and to all the team who helped them.
I really benefited a lot from the course.
I loved it at Grade, first of all, because of the great tutors: Jackie Hadel and Robert Fletcher were very helpful, their instant feedback and constructive criticism helped a lot and I learned a lot. I am very thankful to Svetlana Bulkina, she was of a big support during the course. The facilities are relevant to the course.
Great course! The tutors were amazing. This has been an eye-opening experience for me.
It's one of the most challenging and one of the most rewarding things I've ever done. You are expected to take it all on and use the new knowledge immediately. I remember working all nights 7 days a week and thinking "I won't survive". But our tutors gave me the inspiration, so I'm very thankful to Svitlana Bulkina, Robert Fletcher, Jackie Hadel for this!
It was an amazing experience, which I'm proud to have. I'm grateful to Grade educational center for help and care about all of us. I hope to apply my knowledge as soon as possible
CELTA is an excellent course, at the same time it is extremelly challenging. I have learnt so many new approaches in teaching and anderstanding why this or that activity is necessary. The tutors and administrative staff were very helpful and approachable. The facilities were comfortable and cosy, as for the location it is very convenient.
It was a really profound experience for me. I recommend it to every teacher who wants to get more professional. The course is definitely practical and applicable. And the tutors were highly qualified trainers. Though be ready for intense schedule.
CELTA is an amaizing course, although it is very challenging. Personally, I think it is a must have for every teacher. I have learnt new approaches and techniques, applied in teaching nowadays, which make the process of studing more effective and exciting. The tutors and administrative staff were very helpful and approachable. The facilities were comfortable and cosy, as for the location it is very convenient. All in all it, is a vast progress in my developing as a teacher.
The course was very helpful, knowledgeable and also fun! I enjoyed absolutely everything - the trainers, the peers, the students, the Grade staff etc.
This course is a must for a teacher. It gives complete awareness of language and teaching strategies
It’s just over 10 days since I took my CELTA course. As for me - it was the great experience. I feel this was a good time to reflect on how much it has changed me as a teacher. The course taught me not only some special techniques and approaches to teaching English, but also it gave me the destination in my professional self-improvement as an English teacher, which I’m going to reach.
The course is definitely worth it, mainly thanks to the tutors! Yet, some inputs were rather superficial. But I guess that was due to the course scope which is a bit restricted.
I enjoyed this course, it was a challenging experience but the tutors were always there to guide and help us.
I did the CELTA course at Grade in June 14, it was fairly priced and an absolutely unforgettable experience. We studied and taught lessons in a relaxing atmosphere, and the staff of the center were 100% helpful at any time. Special thanks to my course tutors Svetlana, who was understanding, supportive and very approachable, and to Jamie, with whom I made the most progress I had ever made in learning to be a good teacher.
The course was very beneficial for me. Our tutors Svitlana and Missy made a real discovery for everyone in my group. They were our guides on this thorny path full of unpredictable situations.Though I had had some teaching experience, I've learnt a lot of new information and I have a new vision on a teaching in general now.
It was absorbing, challenging, very informative, enlightnening, interesting, serious, intensive, demanding on one hand and cosy, full of new experience and impressions on the other hand :)
It was an incredible experience. I do appreciate everyone for the great job. I do recommend the course.
Great experience, fun time, very enlightening!
Very enriching and enlightening experience that gave me a chance to have a fresh look at some previously established problems and provided me with some excellent solutions.
I loved it very much! Intense but extremely rewarding, this course gave me a new perspective on teaching English.
Interesting and easy to follow inputs, supportive tutors and friendly atmosphere. Great experience!
The knowledge I gained and the skills I developed while doing my CELTA course are valuable and are being implemented in my teaching practice.
CELTA course was well organised. Tutors were supportive and did their best for us to make the progress. I recommend CELTA for future candidates.
