CELTA tutors at IH Palma, Mallorca
Our teacher trainers are qualified ELT professionals, with many years' classroom experience teaching EFL to all levels and in a variety of contexts.
In order to become a CELTA tutor, Cambridge establishes rigorous selection and training procedures. Trainers are required to hold a Diploma in English Language Teaching (such as the DELTA) or an equivalent qualification, and have extensive teaching experience. Trainers are also required to have previously taught in-service training workshops and attended conferences, and must keep themselves abreast of developments in ELT by reading journals and other literature.
The actual process of training to become a Cambridge trainer involves observation of training sessions, observed practice training, feedback and reports from a qualified supervisor, and the production of a final portfolio of work which is evaluated by a senior assessor from Cambridge University.
All this means that CELTA trainers are informed and authoritative ELT professionals, and so trainees receive the highest possible quality of input, observation and feedback during the CELTA course.
Our trainers also demonstrate a strong personal commitment to their teachers in training, and love their jobs as teachers and trainers – and it shows!
