Grade Education Centre sets high standards and always meets them. I will definitely recommend this course to my colleagues.

Olena Shpakova

I have taught teenagers, but I have never taught young learners. I would like to start working with kids in the future. I was stressed about teaching young learners since I needed to learn specifics or strategies. However, tutors gave me many ideas and techniques during the course, and this information is precious. Thank you to Lida and Olena for making me a better teacher!

Tetiana Hudz

This course is a great experience for me, I looked at my lessons from different side. I would definitely recommend it and would like to study more. It's easy to work from home and get everything immediately, 10/10. Thanks to everyone who decided to make this course.

Iryna Seredenko

I had a very positive experience with the course at Grade Education Centre. The lessons were well-structured, engaging, and filled with practical activities that made the learning process enjoyable and effective. The instructors were knowledgeable and supportive, always ready to help with any questions or difficulties. The course content was relevant and has significantly improved my skills. I especially appreciated the variety of teaching methods and resources provided, which kept the lessons dynamic and interesting. Although I think there could be a bit more organization in the materials and a clear progress tracking system, overall, the course exceeded my expectations. I will definitely recommend this course to my colleagues and friends who are looking to enhance their skills in a supportive and enriching environment.

Yevheniia Betsa

I would definitely recommend this course to my colleagues — it's informative, offers plenty of opportunities to observe other teachers. It helps to understand how children's brains process language acquisition. It also highlights effective techniques for teaching young learners and teens, and how these differ from those used with adults.

Dasha Mazur

This course is very useful and essential for each teacher. I wrote a lot of ideas for my further lessons. This knowledge isn’t from book, it's knowledge from real-life teacher's experience and with love to teaching English. I will recommend Grade Centre over and over again.

Anastasiia Chubarykova

I don't regret taking this course. It was truly a life-changing experience for me. I became much more confident in my skills and knowledge thanks to the amazing Grade team. I feel a lot of inspiration for teaching and further self-development.

I would definitely recommend this course to those teachers who have the urge to work on their approaches to teaching. I'm certain this course will answer most of their questions. But be sure to free up a lot of time during the course period in order to successfully gain the knowledge and complete all the tasks required without stress.

Yana Proseniuk

I found the course organization to be good. The inputs were informative and provided a lot of practical tips that I found helpful. Grade University course was also useful, a truly cool and user-friendly platform. I appreciated tutor`s guidance and feedback.

Overall, I am elevated. It was a positive learning experience for me. I would strongly recommend this course to my colleagues.

I truly enjoyed the way the course is built and how practical it is. Less theory - more practice, that is the approach I appreciate!

I would definitely recommend this course to my colleagues! In just 2 weeks I got a chance to cover materials worth of 2 years of individual practice! Lots of insights, useful activities!

Oksana Koflanovych

This is the perfect course for teachers who want to learn how to teach. I would definitely recommend it as it wasn't made as a number of lectures but like interactive lessons which show the best example of how to engage the students in various ways.

Lesson obsevation showed lots of theory in real life practice, which I felt proud to notice. Grade University course was run by a real professional without any L1 which boosted the language. Tutor support was always appreciable and pretty clear.

Olena is a brilliant tutor. After this course my teaching will never be the same. I am inspired. The course itself was rather challenging, but it is worth every single minute. Lots of helpful materials. Lesson observations impressed me a lot. Grade University platform was very appropriate during the course.

Tetiana Mykuliak

I found the course to be incredibly insightful and beneficial. One of the aspects I enjoyed the most was how comprehensive the sessions were. The strategies shared for each age group were not only informative but also practical, giving me a clear understanding of how to tailor my teaching approach to meet the needs of each stage of development.
