Absolutely invaluable resource for anybody wanting to take CELTA! Your videos really helped me remove many doubts and took the edge off the stress in the lead up time to the course. I thank you very much for giving your time and knowledge so freely. You're a star!
I'm absolutely amazed about how passionate you are about teaching, I've been the whole day taking notes from you I find them pretty useful, I'll use these valuable tips tomorrow in my classes. Thanks! keep up the good work. greetings from Venezuela.
*You have been providing invaluable help and support for EFL teachers worldwide over nearly 3 years, offering your insights and experience in short videos. Your consistent and lively way of presentation makes the lesson more interesting. With your face shown at the start and during the class, it becomes even more appealing, since a face of a teacher in class gives a human look to the lesson; hence, life is injected in the presentation* *I appreciate your dedication to elttraining website that is taking some valuable time away from your lovely children. Thank you for everything you have been consistently doing for trainees and trainers out of sheer desire to help people in need and good soul wishing people success. My CELTA course is due in July, and thanks to you, I have little things to worry about, as I have been following your videos for a couple of years now*
I think your videos are absolutely important to teachers who teach private classes....myself included! I've been learning a lot from them! Thank you so much to share all your knowledge with us!
Quite helpful for me. I am learning TESOL but have no experience of teaching English at all, feel lucky to learn from this series of lessons at my starting point! Thank you so much!
Hi, personally I much prefer seeing your caring face on the videos. Thank you Jo for your invaluable contribution to my Celta course! Kindest regards, Emmanuelle
Thank you very much for your videos. I just watched a couple so far - and they are very useful so I will definitely continue. You give exact things that are ready-to-use. You're great!
Good to see you showing yourself in this video.I thank you very much. your videos are helpful. I'm prepaing myself to a CELTA course in June so I am interested in watching your vidios all the time.
I'm preparing to start a new job and I love your videos - I especially like your dialect, intonation and pace, and the way you present the information in a very orderly, consistent way. And friendly of course. It's giving me a lot of confidence as I brush up my skills. As for the new format, I think to really benefit from seeing you, a full presentation in front of an electronic whiteboard would be useful - this way we can see your hands and body language, which conveys a lot more information. Actually most of the time I prefer just listening and looking at the slides. Don't forget I'm also typing my own notes, and scan-reading what I've written too. So there's only so much information I can process at once!
Alex Kerry Thanks for the detailed feedback, Alex - that's really helpful. I think I might go for a bit of me on webcam at the beginning and the end, as some people have suggested.
I stumbled across your channel and i have recently subscribed........your videos are excellent and really enjoyable....your videos provide lots of useful tips and advice......thank you keep up the good work........
I m starting my CELTA course next Monday. I learnt a lot from you and i m so excited to put what i learnt into practice. Wish me luck and Thank you so much. By the way, you are really beautiful :)
thank you very much for your helpful tips and teaching techniques, I am taking the Celta course this August in Malaga , I have already passed the interview tasks and I hope to pass the course now. thank you very much again for your videos .
Great helpful tips as always! As for the new format I am in favor of it. I don't find the small screen on the bottom left distracting and I feel that it gives it a more human touch :)
Thank you for all your videos. It's priceless what you're doing for us! I find them very fruitful! I'm taking the CELTA course in a month, I've already done my pre-task, and, admittedly, it was not difficult, but still am worried so much that I won't be able to keep up with the pace of the course. Don't know why, just have this fear inside me.
DMK TV Thanks for the nice feedback- I’m glad that you like the videos. Don’t worry too much about the CELTA. Just do as much reading and preparation as you can beforehand. Your Centre wouldn’t have accepted you if they didn’t think you had what it takes 😀
i agree with my 'tocayo' below. always great to hear you (pleasure to see you too). you're a constant source of support and it's always re-energising to re-contact your elttraining. muchas gracias jo
Hi, there. I'm from Brazil and I love your videos! They help me so much! I really enjoyed the new format where I could see you! I prefer this new way! =) I'm looking forward to the new video on feedback. Thanks!
showing yourself in the video is totally engaging...I hope you can make a video on how to integrate English and literature in teaching high school using some of the methods and activities that may help in the same
it's me again. I believe there many recommended book by Celta tutors .I would like to know which one would you recommend me to buy before the course ? in fact I am not native and I am quiet worried about not passing because most of Celta trainees are natives.
Said Hidou - you shouldn't be worried about not being a native speaker- I'm sure that your knowledge of grammar will be better than most of the native speakers 😊. A book I like as a general introduction is Learning Teaching by Jim Scrivener- you could try that as a start. Good luck with it, Jo

Hi there - I'm really sorry that you are having trouble. The site is fine (I promise!) but because I moved platforms recently the site that was learnworlds/elt-training no longer has an SLL certificate. If you make sure that you go through to ww.elt-training.com it should be fine. Let me know how you get on :)
