"I'd seen plenty of TEFL adverts promising 'small classes' but CELT Athens actually delivered. There were 8 of us, and Aris gave me proper structured feedback after every single teaching practice. By week 3 I felt completely ready to walk into a classroom. Three months later I'm teaching full-time in Thessaloniki."

Excellent course. The teaching practice with real students was incredibly valuable — I felt fully prepared by the end. Trainers were patient and supportive, and the campus is a 5-minute walk from a metro stop. I was hired in Greece within a fortnight of finishing.

Thank you Hannah — we're so glad you had a great experience and even more pleased that you're already teaching in Greece. Best of luck with the new role.

Intense 4 weeks, but worth every hour. Loved the diversity of student levels we got to teach. One small note — the job-placement service was more "advice" than concrete leads, so plan accordingly. Otherwise outstanding.

Very tough month but the most useful professional training I've done. The first teaching practice was terrifying; by the last one I felt confident. Aris and the team make the difference — they genuinely want you to succeed.
