Everything is super.

That was a great experience. Thank you for this course

The best experience ever

It was an intense four weeks but with the support of everyone at ITI, especially our tutors and colleagues, I can honestly say that I am a better teacher thanks to them.

Good experience and friendly staff.

It was such a wonderful experience which allowed me to learn a lot during this course. No doubt, it took a lot of hard work for four consecutive weeks, but the knowledge I gained will have a positive impact on my teaching career.

To get enrolled in the course was one of the best decisions of my life. I learned a lot. The tutors were excellent, the staff was helpful, my peers were amazing and we were given all the resources we could need for the training.

I owe a lot of thanks to my tutors who supported me throughout the way and tried their best to make the learning process as smooth as possible. I'm particularly grateful to the tutor Zahra. She is not only a professional teacher but also a good psychologist as well. She was able to understand our characters, strengths and weaknesses for a short period of time, and sometimes I thought that she knew me better than I did. I came here with prior teaching experience. When I started my career path, it took me a while to get my bearing, mostly because there were no other people who understood our methodology and therefore could give practical advice. So, I had to learn everything through trial and error and, of course, I made mistakes which could be chalked up to inexperience. Now, when the CELTA course is finished, I feel much more confident. I have become familiar with lots of techniques to build fluency, create student-centered lessons and ways to provide feedback. The whole course is well-organized and, despite the intensity, you will face challenges step by step and fill up your cup of knowledge a little bit every day. The typical CELTA day starts with an input session where we learn some theory and techniques. Don't worry, you will not be bored as it's not a university lecture but rather an interactive discussion. I really appreciate that the majority of the course is focused on teaching practice, since it provides the opportunity not only to gain theoretical knowledge but also apply it in a real classroom. Then, after the lunch break, you receive feedback and have the possibility to discuss details with tutors and peers. No one blames you. Even though your performance might not be good, they always find positive moments.

I had the best experience at ITI while doing my CELTA. The institute is thoughtfully designed and carefully maintained, with a fully equipped library and all the necessary facilities to support the courses offered. Although the location was a bit far for me, it’s centrally situated and has everything you might need—restaurants, mosques, grocery stores, etc.—within walking distance. I want to extend special appreciation to the tutors, Alyona and Robyn. They are highly professional and incredibly supportive. They know exactly when to step in and when to let you make your own decisions, allowing you to face challenges and grow. Their constructive feedback and guidance were instrumental in helping me develop as a teacher and gain greater self-awareness.

My experience was really fruitful, exceptional and incredible. My tutors and my peers were all great. I feel I'm ready to teach right away.

Our tutors were very helpful and warm hearted. Feeling that they would help you made this intense course bearable. I learnt a lot of things, I feel improved.

Thanks a lot to Liz, Tom and Elna for making this challenging journey a lot easier, more fun and more insightful. Love all my tutors. Thanks, a lot, Liz for your wonderful, constructive feedback sessions ❤️

Taking the CELTA course has been one of the most intense, yet most rewarding experiences of my professional life. From day one, I knew it would be rigorous—and it truly lived up to its reputation. The pace was demanding, the expectations were high, and the learning curve was steep. However, every challenge was an opportunity to grow, not only as a teacher but also as a learner. What made the journey so meaningful was the constant support from the tutors, the constructive feedback, and the sense of community among trainees. Each teaching practice pushed me beyond my comfort zone, while the input sessions provided practical, research-based strategies that I will carry with me throughout my teaching career. Although there were moments of exhaustion and self-doubt, they were always met with moments of clarity, achievement, and personal triumph. The CELTA doesn’t just train you—it transforms you. I have emerged from this course with not only an upgraded qualification but also renewed confidence, a deeper understanding of teaching, and a stronger sense of purpose. For anyone truly committed to becoming a more effective, reflective, and student-centered teacher, CELTA is an experience worth every ounce of effort.

My overall experience on the CELTA course at ITI Istanbul was very positive. The first week was overwhelming and challenging, and at one point I almost gave up, but with the amazing support and guidance from my tutors, Aleyona and Robyn, I kept going and improved every day. They were kind, patient, and always there to help. The course is very intensive, you have to plan, teach, study, and do assignments all at once, but it’s also very rewarding. I learned so much, not just about teaching, but about myself too. I also met wonderful friends and housemates who felt like family and were so supportive throughout the journey. I would highly recommend ITI to anyone who wants to do CELTA. – Alya

The course tutors were so helpful and we have learned a lot during courses.

The CELTA course has significantly contributed to my professional development and opened new opportunities in my teaching career. It provided a strong foundation in practical teaching methodology, classroom management, and lesson planning, which helped me gain confidence and credibility as an English language teacher.

The course was an intense but rewarding experience. I learned a lot and grew both professionally and personally.

I’m grateful for all the support, guidance, and understanding I received from all our tutors throughout the course. The CELTA journey was both challenging and enriching, and I can honestly say it’s been one of the best learning experiences in my teaching career so far. I really appreciated how well-structured and systematic the course was. Every stage had a clear purpose, and the progression from input to practice felt both logical and meaningful. This design helped me stay focused and made it easier to monitor my own development. My tutors’ continuous support, constructive feedback, encouragement, and professionalism played a key role in helping us grow. I value the time and care they invested in supporting us. Thank you once again for everything!

The tutors are really patient, supportive, and lovely.

It was nice. That's honestly an overall comment considering the good and the bad.

I had considered doing CELTA in the UK, but the tutors at ITI proved exceptionally professional and supportive. The course exceeded my expectations.

Such a great experience, professional atmosphere, and of course, I learned a lot.

Everything was great and I want to thank you for your effort .

it was good and everyone was helpful

Everything was good.

Learning new things with excellent tutors and meeting kind-hearted friends was a wonderful experience. Thank you for everything. The memories we created together will always hold a special place in my heart. I am so grateful for the knowledge shared and the laughter we enjoyed. It’s moments like these that remind me how beautiful life can be when surrounded by such inspiring and caring people.

It was a wonderful course and I learned so much from my brilliant tutors.

Overall, it was a good experience, but I doubt about their final assessment procedure by which everyone strangely got the same grade which shows there was sth very wrong with how they grade trainees' performance

It was a pleasant experience, thank you

I took my CELTA training in ITI and it was amazing! Although it is a small place, everyone who is working there has a big heart. I felt very comfortable going there every day for a month. And special thanks to my helpful tutors. Totally recommend.

A great experience that exceeded my expectations, our journey was guided by Alyona up until the end of the course.

I recently completed DELTA Module Three with ITI Istanbul, and I am deeply grateful for the enriching experience. The course tutors were incredibly responsive and supportive throughout the journey. Their guidance and encouragement significantly impacted my decision to continue studying with ITI. The tutors consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism, and the course materials they provided were both detailed and well-organized. This structured approach made it much easier for me to stay on track and ultimately succeed in completing my assignment. Overall, ITI Istanbul offers a learning environment that genuinely supports professional growth, and I wholeheartedly recommend their DELTA programmes to anyone seeking high-quality teacher development.

Best possible experience!

I recently completed this course with Mr. Kamali and I really enjoyed it. He made things easy to understand and created a very supportive learning environment. Before this course, I was pretty anxious about CELTA, but now I feel more ready and prepared. If you're someone who feels overwhelmed or unsure about what CELTA is like, this course is a great way to ease into it and build your confidence.

It was difficult, but I learnt a lot.

Everything was marvellous, Specially Mr.Kamali who made any complex topics as easy as a piece of cake. He is really knowledgeable💚

It was fantastic

The CELTA journey at ITI was incredibly fruitful and truly met all my expectations. I’m especially grateful to Liz, who supported and guided me throughout the course with dedication and care. It was also a great experience to work collaboratively with other trainees and benefit from the valuable feedback we shared. Many thanks as well to Şule, my second tutor during the second part of teaching practice, for her insightful guidance and support. Finally, a big thank you to ITI for the excellent and professional organization of the course, it made all the difference.

Everything was great .

My tutor Liz Aykanat was an amazing tutor. Forever thankful for her endless patience, help and knowledge. Also my other tutor Şule Bakırcan is very friendly, helpful and candid tutor.

My CELTA journey was both enriching and rewarding. It provided a valuable opportunity to refine my teaching skills and expand my knowledge. Despite the intensity and demands of the course, I cherished every moment, embracing both the challenges and the growth they brought.

It was an amazing course

Great if you have to study asynchronously

I am so grateful for everything I learned there. I already miss it.

i had an amazing experience, I learned so many things. The best thing about is that they are cooprative so much into giving in such a way that that the learner not only learns but also becomes skillful.

I really enjoyed the whole experience. At the beginning, it felt like there was a lot of information to take in, but gradually I got the hang of it. That said, I believe the course could benefit from some adjustments to better suit the online setting. For instance, when disconnections happen on the teacher’s side, that time shouldn’t count as part of the class—this wouldn't be the case in a face-to-face session. Also, students often join from unstable connections (like on the metro), and they come and go during the session. There should be clear instructions for students about when they can join, especially after the first 30 minutes. On a positive note, I really loved using Moodle and appreciated how organized and user-friendly it was.

It was a great experience. Really intense indeed but at the end it was worth it.

Taking the CELTA course at ITI Istanbul was an incredible and unique experience. The tutors were highly supportive, accessible, and flexible. I had the privilege of learning from truly wonderful tutors who guided me throughout the course and provided detailed, constructive feedback that was both insightful and enlightening.

I'm quite satisfied with my experience. The OCT was always flexible and considerate of everyone's schedule for the live sessions. She is very knowledgeable, and her insights will stay with me throughout my future career. The TP tutors were also supportive, kind, and patient, and they provided us with valuable positive and constructive feedback.

My overall experience on the course was very good and truly beneficial. I learned many new things about teaching, including how to make lessons more student-centered, how to use different interaction patterns effectively, and how to create a positive and engaging classroom environment. The course helped me reflect on my teaching style and gave me practical strategies to improve my lessons. I feel more confident now in planning activities, managing classroom interactions, and supporting my students' learning in a more meaningful way. Before this course, I was an amateur in teaching, mostly following the traditional way of teaching where the teacher did most of the talking and students were passive listeners. I wasn’t fully aware of the different teaching techniques that could make lessons more interactive and engaging. This course opened my eyes to more modern, student-centered approaches that encourage participation, communication, and collaboration among learners. It helped me shift from a teacher-led method to one where students are more involved, active, and confident in their learning process.

That was the best experience Ive ever had in my entire career life.

The Pre-CELTA course provided a solid foundation in teaching methodology, lesson planning, and student-centered learning. It boosted my confidence, improved my awareness of Language, and prepared me well for the CELTA’s demands. The practical strategies and focus on reflection made it a valuable learning experience.

I would like to thank the tutors for their professionalism and all the stuff for being helpful and supportive. The tutors are very dedicated, knowledgeable, and experienced. It was a great pleasure to study at ITI, an excellent institution with a great library and cozy atmosphere. It was one of my best decisions in life to do Delta, a truly life-changing experience.

I’m really grateful for my experience at ITI. The course helped me improve a lot, and the support from the tutors made a huge difference. Their feedback was always helpful and encouraging. I also had amazing classmates, and the staff were always there to help whenever needed. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’m really glad I got to do this course here.

It was basically a very good experience that I learnt new things that I never learnt before such as new ways of teaching, techniques and classroom management.

taking the Pre-CELTA course was a valuable experience that helped me build a strong foundation in teaching. It provided insights into lesson planning, classroom management, and effective teaching techniques. At times, the workload was challenging, but it pushed me to improve my skills and confidence. Overall, this course has prepared me well for the CELTA journey, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to develop their teaching abilities

It was incredibly hard work but I am so glad that I did it! I look forward to teaching English confidently and engagingly as a result of all I've learned.

It is one of the best experiences I have ever had. Everthing was well organized. Classes were useful. Feedback sessions were constructive. Thank you for everything.

It was an incredible course and I learned a lot

It was an amazing experience that I will never forget for the rest of my life!

Attending the bootcamp course proved to be an invaluable experience in enhancing my teaching abilities.

The course has helped me get better in my teaching, I now know how to organize better student-centered lessons. In addition, thanks to the help of Liz, Figen, and John - my tutors - I learnt many valuable tips and teaching techniques. I greatly appreciate their help and guidance!

The CELTA course was an intensive yet highly rewarding experience. The structured input sessions, practical teaching opportunities, and detailed feedback from experienced trainers provided valuable insights into effective teaching methodologies. While the workload was demanding, the support from trainers and peers made the learning process engaging and constructive. This course has significantly enhanced my confidence and skills as an English language teacher, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to develop their teaching abilities.

I had an amazing experience and learned so much, made new friends and pushed my limits! 🇵🇰 Thanku ITI for helping me on my ESL journey and fully polishing and honing my skills!

It was one of the best experience I ever had.

The CELTA course was an incredibly rewarding and transformative experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the intensive nature of the program, as it pushed me to develop both my teaching skills and my understanding of language pedagogy in a short amount of time. The practical teaching sessions with real students were particularly valuable, as they allowed me to apply theoretical knowledge in a real-world setting and receive constructive feedback from experienced tutors. I also appreciated the collaborative environment, where I could exchange ideas and learn from my peers. The course content was well-structured, covering essential topics such as lesson planning, classroom management, and language analysis, which have equipped me with the tools to be a more confident and effective English teacher. Overall, the CELTA course was challenging but immensely fulfilling, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to pursue a career in English language teaching.

The CELTA course was a great experience. At the beginning, I was a bit nervous because I had heard a lot about how challenging it is, but the support from the tutors made a huge difference. They were always helpful and responded quickly whenever I had questions or needed clarification. The course was intense, but it was also incredibly rewarding, and I feel that I’ve learned a lot in a short period of time.

it was the best experience in my teaching.

I really enjoyed the course and learned a lot of things. Tutors were always available and respnded kindly and effectively. They gave us cobstructive feedback. And for the first time in my life, I enjoyed a pronunciation lesson! (The one with our course tutor, Liz.)

It has been a pleasure working with Liz and Zahra. Their support and guidance at every stage were invaluable, making the entire experience highly rewarding for me.

I learned a lot during my CELTA and If I could, I would take the course again with the same amazing tutors

I really enjoyed the course and the tutor was so helpful and patient. I learned how to run my classes better.

It was a wonderful journey with great teachers and innovative teaching methods.Celta at ITI,Istanbul was a fun and a dream come true for me.I wish all the best to this institute.

Everything was really good.

It was a comprehensive, useful, and effective course. I learned a lot of materials that I plan to use in my teaching. The course supervisor, Ms. Liz, was very knowledgeable and insightful. I am grateful for her efforts.

I think that this course was very helpful for my self improvement as an English teacher.

To tell the truth, I couldn't imagine how a teacher can work in zoom like yours, I mean breakout rooms and how the lesson plan and its analysis can be oranized in detailes. I mastered my teaching skills greatly. I am very lucky to have such tutors like Liz and Ozlem. They are really great!!! Thank you for sharing your experience!!! Happy New Year!!!

The ITI CELTA Bootcamp was an incredibly informative and engaging course. The sessions were well-structured, and the trainer provided practical strategies that I can apply to my teaching. However, I do wish the course could have been extended with more hours, as there was so much valuable content that could have been covered and practiced further. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to participate.

The course was an incredibly valuable and enriching experience. The content was well-structured, practical, and highly informative, providing me with the knowledge and skills I needed. A special mention goes to the tutors, particularly Liz and Tom, who played a key role in making the learning journey so effective. Their expertise, guidance, and dedication were outstanding, and they went above and beyond to support us throughout the course. Thanks to this experience, I feel confident and well-prepared to teach. The skills and insights I gained have equipped me to take on this new role with enthusiasm and competence. A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved in designing and delivering this course—it truly made a difference!

My experience on the CELTA course with ITI has been incredibly rewarding. It gave me practical teaching techniques and valuable strategies to engage learners, especially non-native English speakers. The course was well-structured, and the trainers were extremely supportive and knowledgeable, creating a positive and encouraging learning environment. Overall, it’s been a great learning journey that has equipped me with the skills to make my classes more interactive and effective, and I’m excited to apply what I’ve learned in my teaching career moving forward.

I have gained crucial insights into the CELTA requirements that will empower my teaching journey moving forward.

Everything was great. Happy to see that there is pre-celta online course. For me, it's so important. Also using Google classroom and zoom is an excellent choice. In the end, Mr.Kamali is second to none.

It was a great time with my tutor, he was really kind and passionate, I learned many things from him

The course has been highly benefinicial! Thank you!

When I first considered registering for this course, I had many doubts about whether I would learn something useful and practical. Now that weeks have passed, I've learned many new things and been exposed to ideas that have made me think about simpler but more important concepts. Having taught learners of all ages, I never considered the actual roles of educators and learners and the effect these roles have on outcomes. I always measured the success of my classes by checking if all the theoretical steps and procedures of teaching were followed. After attending this course, I've realized that teaching is much more than just transferring knowledge and information to learners. I tried to apply every new piece of information I learned throughout the course to my classes daily, and I was surprised to see how creating an environment where trust is built, self-awareness is increased, and relationships are affirmed can enhance the learning process for learners. Overall, I now have a completely different opinion compared to what I initially thought. I believe this course was exactly what I needed, especially as I have felt lost, burnt out, and confused about how to bond and connect with my students and remain academically and emotionally engaged with them.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course at ITI thanks to the dedication of the professional and caring tutors and staff.

It was a pleasure meeting some new people and learning from them. Even though it was a difficult time I can say I learned a lot.

It was a fantastic experience which gave me a different view of learning and teaching.

A very good and challenging experience

In overall it was a nice experience to have.

I really enjoyed from the course. I learned a lot. Thanks for everything.

To be more specific, I learned a lot from the CELTA course - lesson planning, critical thinking, managing time, managing finncial issues, learner involvement, and new teaching techniques. Moreover, ITI staff and peers were really reliable and helpful.

I really appreciate profound insights given by our tutors and highly recommend taking CELTA in ITI.

It's really good to have the opportunity to get such an amazing education and certification in a month, but everything has a price. Not just financially but also mentally, emotionally and physically you have to pay for it. Don't do the intensive course if you like your mental health.

Amazing experience! Everything was way better than what I expected. The academic atmosphere and the professional tutors were unforgettable.
