Istanbul is a major city in Turkey that straddles Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus Strait. Its Old City reflects cultural influences of the many empires that once ruled here. In the Sultanahmet district, the open-air, Roman-era Hippodrome was for centuries the site of chariot races, and Egyptian obelisks also remain. The iconic Byzantine Hagia Sophia features a soaring 6th-century dome and rare Christian mosaics.

Totally the TOT course was great full of new methods and fruitful for me. Really enjoyed from this course. Special thanks to Dear Tom and professional team. Hope to cooperate with you as a trainer or one of your branches in Iran very soon.
The course was exceptionally well-prepared, with a strong focus on interaction, feedback, and collaboration. This approach fostered a dynamic environment where we could actively share our insights and experiences, enriching the learning process for everyone involved. I would also like to extend my gratitude to Tom Godfrey, our coach, whose expertise and guidance were instrumental throughout the course. The material he presented was both relevant and pedagogically sound, emphasizing experiential learning and training methods that deepened our understanding and equipped us with practical skills. His thoughtful, hands-on approach resonated with us and added immense value to the overall training. In summary, this course has been an invaluable experience, and I’m grateful for the knowledge and skills I’ve gained. Thank you to everyone involved for creating such an engaging and insightful program. PS I cannot rate the facilities nor the location as the course was fully online.
The course was not bad but the evaluation was highly subjective and the center was crowded.
Best tutors in one of the best cities in the world makes the intensive course easy.
The experience was informative and fun despite being challenging and tiresome due to the workload. The resources available to us were sufficient, and the tutors were enthusiastically helpful and kind whenever we approached them with any questions or concerns.
Thank you for everything, it was satisfactory and I am happy that I chose ITI, nice people, supportive tutors, great environment to learn and develop
It was an intensive but effective course and I’m pleased that I took this course.
It was alright. These changes would improve the experience: -The ACs were old, the rooms needed better ventilation. -The library needs an actual wall instead of a curtain so you don’t hear the class being taught right next to it. -The sitting area next to the canteen is small, uncomfortable and sort of dark. -The staff either spoke English or was warm and accommodating. Positives: -Everything was kept clean and tidy at all times, which was nice. -The teaching supply provided was adequate. -The tutors were smart and good at their jobs.
It was one of my best experiences. This place is so clean and you have access to library.the atmosphere is so friendly,only problem is cafeteria. You have a few options and no food or snack for lunch
All in all I was satisfied with the tutors and everything. They were supportive and help us to improve.
It was one of the most efficient experiences I have ever had. I learned a lot and gained different perspectives for my teaching career. However, input sessions could have been the first ten days of the course without TPs. After finishing and internalizing the input sessions, we could have executed TPS to be more aware of the techniques
It was a good experience that helped me grow both personally and professionally, as well as it allowed me to meet people from different parts of the world and build strong relationships with them.
It was amazing experience and I would love to do it over and over again, wonderful tutors, a friendly environment, intense but totally worth it.
Doing the CELTA course at ITI was a great experience. As a novice teacher, I learned a lot and improved myself. All the tutors were great and very helpful. Thanks to their informative and comprehensive feedback, I managed to gain a different perspective toward teaching. I highly recommend doing the CELTA at ITI to anyone who wants to have a solid foundation in terms of their teaching skills!
A very challenging experience.
I had a great CELTA learning journey with well-experienced tutors who never hesitated to help the candidates and offered good and effective solutions to better methods to be applied to the lessons. Also, the staff were nice and fun and always provided what we needed when we needed it. Thank you so much to all of them!
CELTA at ITI was such a rewarding journey for me. The beauty of this course is that you meet with exceptional tutors who take your learning experience to another level with their expertise and engaging input sessions. Thank you everyone for this outstanding opportunity!
FANTASTIC
Amazing experience. Couldnt have asked for better tutors and better staff.
I really liked everything in ITI. The only thing I didn't find helpful was watching videos of highly experienced teachers. It was too boring, felt outdated, and took a lot of time to watch and take notes. I would have preferred face-to-face interactions with the tutors instead, as I believe that would have been much more useful.
Everything was up to par. Mrs. Elna was really helpful throughout the course.
It was a brilliant experience! Thank you so much for your professionalism and your warm hospitality
I've done CELTA online and I would like to say that it is the most effective course in learning teaching I've ever taken. I want to thank Main Course Tutor Zahra Kermani for the perfect course organization online, my Tutors Olga Atayeva and Selen Şirin Dülger, they were so helpful during the course. In general, all Tutors are highly professional and they supported us a lot. I'm going to do DELTA with ITI in the forthcoming future.
EXCELLENT course! The tutors were great, and very professional. NO complaints
I liked the tutors. They are very knowledgeable, they are always ready to give advice.
Overall the tutors and staff has been very helpful from the beginning. The online full time course was intense but that was expected. Glad I’ve done it at ITI. Can’t say anything about the location or the facilities, as I haven’t seen it. Apart from that it was great experience, I had a positive experience and wish the same for everyone.
The course was very well-organized and professionally delivered. The tutors were supportive and accessible for help. While the input sessions were great, the most indispensable things of the course were the teaching practice and tutor's and peers' feedback afterwards, for which I'm really grateful to everyone. It was definitely useful for my professional development.
It was an intensive but very fruitful journey.
It was an amazing journey filled with mixed emotions. I've learned a lot thanks to my tutors.
Everything was perfect. There were lots of pressure and stress but still our students, tutors and colleagues made everything manageable. It was the longest one month I have ever had and it worths. Such an amazing experience and I recommend it to everyone.
My experience on this course was amazing, everything went smoothly, everyone was helpful and everything was well put together. I am thankful for everything.
The course was very hard work but it was well worth it. The tutors were fantastic and provided support and help, and were available to answer any questions.
It was a great experience. Excellent tutors and very organised and professional.
Before starting the course I was nervous not to manage or predictions that it will be hard to deal with. But whenever there is supportive and a kind approach you feel confident and and make sure that you can do in the best way.The course was intensive, sometimes TPs and submission of assignments overlap,that was hard to deal with. But nothing is impossible, working diligently and following our tutors' instructions we managed. That was a really valuable experience . I got motivated and inspired, believing in my teaching skills and abilities. I am looking forward to joining DELTA.
The tutors are very knowledgeable and well-informed. They were really supportive throughout the course.
From the first day to the last, everything about the course was fantastic. It was a very challenging month, but looking at what I've gained in such a short time, I think it was worth it. Our tutors set the bar high, pushing and encouraging us. Each of them is an exceptional educator, and I feel particularly lucky to have had Figen Tutor and Mehdi Tutor with me on this journey. Overall, I feel stronger and more equipped as an English teacher.
The course I took was in person and short-term, so there was not enough time to focus more on the materials or the content of the input sessions. Generally, I appreciate ITI's gathering different people worldwide to communicate and reach this amazing experience.
As a teacher and a trainer, I found this course very useful not only for academic reasons but also for my personal development. It was also great to communicate and collaborate with teachers from different cultures. This was one of the unique academic experiences I've had. Thanks to dear Dr. Tom Godfrey for sharing his expertise in such a creative and modest way with us all.
It was very good. I wish you the best
The CELTA course was the best experience ITI İstanbul is a great place if your thinking about taking the course The tutors are lovely and the environment is so good Be prepared for a lot of work if your doing the intensive training Above all a 10/10
I had a challenging experience, but it is a great one. Taking the CELTA course has changed my teaching approach. I have learnt many new teaching aspects from the dedicated tutors. Thank you... thanks ITI
It was a very eye-opening course with very friendly tutors.
I had a great experience with ITI. Tutors are great professionals, always ready to give feedback and advice.
The location is very good since it’s close to the metro and there are many places to eat around at lunch time,,staff were very friendly and helpful,our tutors as well.they not only have the knowledge and patience required but also help you in difficult times.
Thank you for the course! I’m glad that I chose the ITI school for my CELTA course. I will definitely recommend it to anyone interested in CELTA.
I didn't rate the facilities and the location since it was an online CELTA course. Liz and Zahra, the tutors, were great. They provided the course participants with such practical and specific feedback that I learned much more from them than from other in-service trainings or PD events. The Moodle platform could benefit from an upgrade. Including more examples or sample work for the assignments would be very helpful. The assignments part of the course, in particular, was the most disappointing part. The CELTA course was overall very beneficial. Thank you so much, ITI!
The tutors were understanding and helpful throughout the course. Being observed and receiving feedback for my lessons and assignments was a valuable experience. I also found many of the things I learned throughout the course to be useful and have practical value.
In general, the course is productive. The input sessions and the tutors are all great but the tutors should focus on the exam practice in the sessions rather than spending too much time on theoretical parts. We didn’t have much practice for the exam. Also, information flow was problematic towards the end of the course. We couldn’t receive any email about weekly lesson planning from the tutors. They replied our emails very late. Additionally, some instructions in exam practices were ambiguous and it affected our scores. Lastly, some of the links in the documents and on Moodle are inaccessible since they are not working any longer. They should be updated.
Having done both Module 1 and 2 with ITI, I feel very comfortable with the tutors. They are highly knowledgeable and supportive. I am grateful for all of their efforts!
It was such an experience ! Had a chance to be a learner again and decorated my room with many new assets. I'd like to convey my sincere gratitute to Tom Godfrey for such comprehensive program.
All the tutors were beyond great. I am so grateful to them all.
It was a great experience from which I learned a lot, it was an eye opener to conduct researches and continue learning new teaching strategies. As well, it shows clearly, the importance of connected speech, to which we do not pay a great deal of intention. Moreover, Having such a tutor as Joane, will always motivate me to have more courses in ITI.
Everyone at the institute was super friendly and helpful. The layout of the classrooms and the library was very good. I wish to come back for other workshops and courses.
Such a lovely place, such lovely faces! 😊 It was really great to spend my time learning teaching techniques at ITI. I strongly recommend this center to anyone living anywhere around the world. It was tough to catch up with every task, and personally, I worked really hard to achieve the goals. All that being said, it was rewarding and the tutors were available night and day to support us. Thank you ITI ☺️
I was a wonderful experience. Tutors, facilities, staff everything is excellent. I highly recommend it.
Initially, I was hesitant due to its demanding reputation, but I found the CELTA course to be an exceptional experience. My tutors, Liz and Zahra, were amazing—supportive, experienced, and patient. Their insightful feedback was invaluable in my growth as a teacher. I highly recommend CELTA to anyone looking to enhance their teaching skills.
A very beneficial opportunity to self-reflect for those who want to attend the course with prior teaching experience. Thanks for everything.
The course provides a framework where teachers can learn how to design learner-centered lessons. I learned a lot thanks to my tutors who guided me along the way.
It was a really nice experience to take part in the course and it helped me a lot to improve my teaching skills.
I really had a great experience,My tutor Tom was second to none.I learnt alot.
The course was comprehensive and provided useful practical skills to implement in actual classrooms.
The CELTA course at Level Istanbul was a phenomenal experience. The curriculum was thorough and engaging, covering all essential aspects of teaching English as a second language. What truly made the course outstanding were the tutors. Their professionalism, expertise, and supportive nature exceeded all expectations, making the challenging process both manageable and enjoyable. The facilities were top-notch, providing a great environment for learning. Overall, I'm incredibly happy to have attended this course at Level Istanbul and feel well-prepared for my teaching career.
Thank you for everything.
Everything about tutors and center was perfect and it helped me to gain practical experiences.
I'm really happy that I participated in the CELTA course. Before the CELTA course, I didn't know much about teaching although I've been a teacher for two years. During the course, I really developed my teaching skills and now I know that I'm a better teacher.
That was a wonderful experience!
I’m really happy for choosing ITI, and I will definitely recommend it to my friends. I enjoyed the discipline and professionalism.
It was a great opportunity for me to learn in an authentic and well-prepared course. Receiving informative and comprehensive feedback from tutors will definitely change teachers' attitude and practice toward teaching.
everything was organized, and easy to access which made preparing for the lessons much easier. I do wish working with the printers was explained more thoroughly maybe through visuals
This online course was one of the best that I have ever taken!
I had a great time in ITI with the great,knowledgeable, experienced, kind and supportive tutors. I learned a lot about how to be a better and organized teacher. I really thank all my tutors.
ITI has been the greatest factor in my personal development journey. I've completed all of my courses at ITI, including TKT, CELTA, Train the Trainer, some smaller courses, and now I'm currently continuing with DELTA Module 1. They always prepare and design all the courses very professionally, whether it's online or face-to-face; it doesn't matter. The resources, videos, materials, and topics are all well-planned. Because the tutors here are masters of their craft, I make sure to take all the courses without hesitation or second-guessing. I'm eagerly looking forward to implementing what I've learned here in my own classroom.
It was very useful, thank you
It was a really great experience to refresh my knowledge in English teaching and meeting new people.
I had a brilliant experience studying CELTA at ITI. I was lucky to run into an extremely wonderful group of people that made my experience worthwhile. ITI offers top notch facilities to its students in every way.
Even though it was an intense program, I was happy that I was able to share all the ups and downs with my peers. Our tutors were kind and helpful, the feedbacks we got definitely took our teaching practices to the next level. Also having the higher and lower levels with different tutors and students was a really nice opportunity. I loved the schedule, everything made sense and it was fun. Assignments were not so helpful in my opinion and the video observations could have been more updated. Overall, it was a great experience and I’m grateful that I was a part of it.
I don't regret choosing ITI in the slightest. The tutors were beyond competent and the facilities complimented the overall experience by rendering everything accessible.
The course was as expected: rigorous and intensive. I was carrying loads of self doubt and was working 14h a day. However, it all made sense and the puzzle started forming, in the last 10 days. Only then, I realized how many new skills and approaches I had learned and the cheer neurological rewiring I had undergone. I learned a lot and made some wonderful friendships. I would love to do it again!
ITI's preparation course for DELTA's module 1 was amazing. The teachers showed great expertise, and they were always very helpful. The content of the course was exactly what a DELTA candidate needs, particularly the exam practice offered every week, I am thankful as not only was it helpful but also feedback was given back on time.
great experience
Thanks to a wonderful ITI team for their warm welcome and hospitality. The staff are friendly, the tutors are professional, the learners are nice and the peers are the best. The CELTA course is a must for all English teachers for its practical usage. I've learnt a lot and received a precious experience.
I had great time there; it was a wonderful experience. The tutors were friendly and helpful and I learned a lot.
I was thrilled by the fantastic experience with amazing tutors.
Everything was fantastic and I enjoyed every second of my course. Tutors are amazing and knowledgable, and they have helped and guided us perfectly. If I could go back, I would choose ITI again for sure.
Helpful and detailed feedback from tutors
I want to thank our experienced professional tutors Robyn, Liz and Zahra who have a good command of knowledge in Celta materials and methodology. Everything was on time as promised, Esi
The experience is unforgettable. When I started the course, I felt very nervous because I couldn't figure out how to use Moodle and the site had bugs and didn't work properly. I was surprised at how supportive the tutors turned out to be in this situation. Whenever I messaged Elizabeth, she responded immediately. Throughout the whole course Elizabeth and Zara were there to help. As for the content of the course, generally, I'm happy with it. The only thing I would suggest is making all forums optional. Students don't have enough time to post anything and check others' posts.
It was a wonderful experience in which I learned a lot..after CELTA course is definitely different than beforr CELTA course. Thanks to the institute, the Admins, and the best tutors.
Tutors were very competent and knowledgeable. The course has helped provide a starting point for understanding teaching. I look forward to attending another.
It was an amazing experience studying with wonderful tutors especially Liz and Robyn.
Dear All, It was great experience with you. My main tutor, Joanne Bates, has been helpful and provided me with the needed and expected feedback and help. She also helped and pushed my limits as much as she could towards passing my LSAs. Thanks Joanne Bates and ITI for having such great tutors. My second tutor was Elna, has also been a great tutor and provided me with help and feedback to push me towards passing my first LSA. Thanks all for your help and support 🙏
It was really intensive, but tutors were great and I learnt lots of useful techniques.
I am generally very satisfied; however, if we could have had more access to resources while writing assignments, it would have been much better.
It was a very remarkable experience. It was a kind of school that could make great contributions to you, especially with its tutor support and rich content.
That was a fruitful experience and I took away a lot from Celta.
You made me understand the difference between the ITI and the other unprofessional training centres.
Everything was great. Huge experience.
It was amazing! I loved every bit about it.
Overall everything was great. Daria was one of the best tutors I have ever had! She was always there to help with any problem at any time.
I am truly happy to take this course here at ITI Istanbul. That was a great course with a great instructor. Mr.Godfrey accompanied us step by step throughout the course. Many thanks to Mr.Godfrey and ITI Istanbul.
