Feedback of previous courses participants
  • James was a truly skilled and knowledgeable CELTA tutor, his input sessions were always very well organized, clear and - most importantly - lots of fun! He managed to stimulate and challenge us with creating authentic lesson materials, bringing life into our teaching practice. His feedback to trainees was also very accurate and fair, he always backed up everything he pointed out with evidence. I must say that having such an experienced and competent CELTA tutor who could also think out of the box and encourage/motivate us to constantly improve was fantastic!
    Ilaria, March 2020 (face-to-face/online blended CELTA)
  • With his friendly, energetic and engaging attitude, James is a passionate and enthusiastic tutor who has been incredibly supportive throughout the CELTA course. His empathy allows him to deeply understand the strengths and weaknesses of his trainees and thanks to a very detailed and constructive feedback provided for each TP, he constantly motivates them to believe in themselves and do their best.
    Sara, June 2020 (100% online CELTA)
  • James was one of the many great trainers on our course. I felt very lucky to be taught by such people. He gave feedback and tips in a way that were concise and really helpful for growth. Whilst at the same time being professional and good fun. The course itself can sometimes feel daunting, yet he made you feel engaged and positive. Top man, James!
    Rob, June 2020 (100% online CELTA)
