What our past trainees say...
Jeff Russell, USA
"If you are considering enrolling in a CELTA course, then you already know that CELTA is the preferred accreditation for EFL teachers worldwide. Also, you will likely know that the course is only thirty days. However, the CELTA course is quite a challenging commitment. It requires hard work and demands long hours, but the camaraderie with classmates is invigorating.
At The Lewis School, small classes, an intimate setting, and superlative faculty and staff make the CELTA struggle seem like a common struggle. No kidding, the CELTA course is difficult, but the faculty and staff at The Lewis School are very supportive and very organized. When I came to Barcelona to do the course at The Lewis School, the only concern I had was the course itself. The
School arranged everything else for me before I arrived, including housing, school schedules, public transportation information, as well as tips on travelling and what to bring. As a result, I had a successful and positive CELTA experience.
Not to mention, Barcelona is a world class city. Barcelona is absolutely bursting with art, architecture, music, food, and some of the most beautiful birch lined avenues in the world. Barcelona, CELTA, and The Lewis School. I would do it again!"
"I would be delighted to recommend The Lewis School to anyone considering a CELTA course. The helpfulness of staff and structure of the course suited my needs well. The course also allowed us to build a good rapport through our TP and input sessions and this ‘flowed on’ to the students that we taught. A particularly enjoyable experience - Thank you!"
Toni Zollo, Australia
"Very intensive but had a great time !"
Josie Gill, UK
"I have really enjoyed the course and have learnt lots. I think the experience has been wider than just a teaching qualification for me. Just the chance to live in Barcelona has been great. And above all, I think the tutors deserve a holiday!"
Zoë Fisher, UK
"Great course, great tutors, great school director !"
Sydney Conner, USA
"The course ran very smoothly. The administration was thorough and I always felt that there was a strong hand at the helm. Considering the relatively intense nature of the CELTA course, I thought that we were supported well throughout."
Geirmundur Sigurdarson, Iceland
What some of our trainees say about the course...
"Great course to do! At first I thought it was impossible, and it is very intensive, but definitely worth it!"
"My tutors thoroughly monitored me and identified my weak and strong points, something that I think was the most important part of the course."
"Tutors were very motivating and presented the material in an interesting way"
"The course was very well organized. I honestly can't think of anything that would make the course better."
"I specially enjoyed the videos, concept questions and receptive and productive skills. We were really given the secrets to language teaching in these sessions."
"This course has been a wonderful experience and I think it has provided a solid foundation upon which to build a successful ESL/EFL teaching career."
"I really enjoyed the course, much more hands on than I ever expected, which is great."
"The pre-course task really helped me to study for the course."
"The tutor was very encouraging during the interview before the course and made it much less of an ordeal than I expected."
"Input sessions were extremely useful and helped me to implement new techniques in our lessons through planning and delivery. When we did this I saw a marked improvement!"
"Very well structured with lots of added benefit coming from such experienced tutors. We learnt a lot from observing them teach us."
