"CELT Athens delivered on small classes — 8 of us, Aris gave structured feedback after every practice. By week 3 I felt ready to walk into a classroom. Three months later I'm teaching full-time in Thessaloniki."
Excellent course. Teaching practice with real students was invaluable — 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 — so glad it set you up so well. Best of luck in Greece!
Intense 4 weeks, but worth every hour. Loved the diversity of student levels we got to teach. Job placement was more "advice" than concrete leads — plan accordingly. Otherwise outstanding.
