As usual, trainers Olena and Lidiia were professional and attentive toward trainees' needs. The course was engaging, consisted of main points of teaching YL and teens, included a lot of practice. Grade Education Centre sets high standards and always meets them. I will definitely recommend this course to my colleagues.

I want to thank Sea and Lida, our tutors, for their unwavering support and willingness to assist. They addressed all of our inquiries and provided constructive and motivating feedback. Regarding the course "CELTA Full-time Online"
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!
