@@ClaudiaCarbajalTorres Hi! Yes, I've worked as an ESL teacher being non-native. But I already had work permits in every country, schools didn't sponsor any visas.
This might be the nicest video about the CELTA experienxe. I often feel like I'm not good enough, but she is so positive about it, it's the kind of pep talk I needed.
I'm a non-native speaker, and I want to teach English abroad. This video helped me to relieve my stress and sort out my confusion about the CELTA process. Thank you a lot for being helpful when I most needed it, and not just informatively but also emotionally. Your voice is so magically soothing that I almost feel as if you hugged me through this video.
Hi, in the first place let me thank you so much for sharing this pretty informative video with us. Actually I'm preparing for CELTA and I'm not a native speaker as well. However from my perspective , non native speakers are so powerful when it comes to grammar and language awareness in general and this is their point of strength they should focus on with many other important things of course during the CELTA course notably 06 hours of teaching practice which require a strong combination of teaching strategies, approaches, classroom management, written assignments, self evaluation and my ability to speak and interact ,motivate the students and build a good rapport with them in order to be able to appropriately convey information to them.
Hey guys so I've just finished CELTA. The scholarship that I obtained is one only available in Mexico, but I'm sure there must be some available in your countries as well.
I’m going to attempt the course soon, and I already have 2 years experience without even having the CETLTA degree, I’m very excited, a bit concerned but that’s normal haha thanks for this video!!!
Hi Marta, I am so excited to watch this video! You are fabulous! Your pronunciation is absolutely perfect! I just took my CELTA interview yesterday via Zoom, and it all went well. I was offered a place :) Hope I can get this coveted certificate at the end of the journey. Btw, I am just 26 years old, and I subscribed to your channel!
Your English is superb. I am none a native speaker myself but a near-native speaker. I am a secondary school qualified teacher for a Computing in England. I worked abroad for 4 years as a computing teacher, I still want to do this course as it does help. I want to go back to the Middle East.
I am Japanse living in London for many years. I am thinking of returning to Japan this year or next year and taking CELTA as a 'token' of living in London. I am not a teacher, but I want to work for state schools where all kinds of students can go regardless of whether they are intelligent or not and whether their family is wealthy or not. But the thing is, CELTA may be overqualification for working in state schools in Japan. Most English teachers in Japan can't speak English at all. So, I think CELTA is a too different teaching method for Japanese students. I will be in an interview next week and will ask the interviewer about it. Thank you for sharing your experience.
You have such a soothing and melodic voice, it’s such a pleasure to listen to you! And your speech is encouraging! Thank you for the useful tips and good luck in your teaching!
You are so adorable and the whole video is very motivational and pleasant. It gave me confidence. Im going for a CELTA interview in a few days.And your voice in my head will keep saying " You will shine!" ❤️
Hello Martha, I’d really like to say thank you for having clarified some of my doubts. I would like to take the CELTA course on site. But I have two locations in mind, one is San Sebastián Spain and the second option is England, I’m not sure about the city yet. The Spanish option is because some of my relatives live there, and the place is beautiful. The second choice is because I’ve heard that the certification is more appreciated when it’s taken in an English speaking country’ I’ve already lived in an English speaking country before (USA) on the contrary I’m from a Spanish speaking country like Spain, I don’t know how influential can the place where you take the course be when it comes to getting a job.
Each centre across the globe has to meet the requirements set by the University of Cambridge. No matter where you take your course (either face-to-face, online or mixed) and in what format (full-time or part-time) you will receive the same certificate after successfully completing your course.
I think that language school prefer to contract one native person. Families prefer study English with a native speaker. I definitely know that Spanish teachers are super good teachers, but the families prefer English and American teachers. Please, if you are looking for job and you have the Celts and you are native, let me know. Thanks. If you are Spanish I recommend you to study a second language apart from English. It is more worth it.
Why do all CELTA promoters and students seem to be non native speakers. I’m English and living in France considering the CELTA but increasingly have the impression that it’s not for native speakers?
Hi there, thanks for your lovely comment 😊. It’s great to hear that my accent sounds more natural than I thought. Im from Poland but I reckon my accent might be a mixture of accents from different places Ive lived in so far. I play different instruments and I have a weird tendency to pick up all the sounds from different accents, so its definitelfy a weird mixture of Polish/German and West Yorkshire 😂😂. Have a lovely day and all the best.
Hi Teacher. Good Explanation I liked. There was some moment throughout the video that I couldn't hear you. At the beginning it was good but effectively I couldn’t hear you at the end of the video, because the music was too loud.
Hi there, thank your nice words. As for the sound, yes, I don know that, my apology, these were some technical problems and the poor quality of my equipment. My apologies, again :)
Why does it sound like “surviving CELTA “?? Why? It must be pleasant memories after course but not like a horror period. 3 acquaintances of mine told me about it. They did course in Ukraine. I am from Ukraine. And I am afraid of not the course itself but what attitude will be to me😮, critics and so forth.
Schools always ask for an education career but it's not in my plans. Even though, many people look down on me when I say 5 or 7 years of studying is not my thing. I prefer this course and DELTA. Do I really have to change my mind?
Hi dear Martha! Thank you so much for this encouraging video. You helped me to get over my anxiety. However i have a question. I applied for studycelta in Czech Republic but i couldnt find the school name. Do you think it is a reliable website? How can i do my search more reliably?
Marta thank you. I am Albanian, BA in TESL and have some work experience. I live in shanghai which is now, for certain points of view, the paradise of native English speaking teachers. I need CELTA to compete. Give me a piece of advice please, would you suggest online CELTA course from Cambridge in England or in the classroom CELTA course in Shanghai?
My biggest fear is to pay money for this course and get “pass”. Why then???? “Pass” is nothing. You will be treated then, abroad, like nothing… the teachers with “pass” are requiring help in this case. Fear number 2 is to be criticized. Yes, teachers are literally being in tears at this course. I don’t have strong nervous system, I don’t want to cry every day and see nightmares then. And I would say it’s overestimated.
Hi there :) I managed to pass the interview. However, I'm a little bit worried about making mistakes during the course because I am a non-native speaker. Is it really a problem if we make some mistakes during the course?
Hi there 😊, first of all congrats 💪💪. Don’t worry too much, we all make mistakes, we’re only humans. Having said that it is important to remember that as English teachers we should strive for correctness. Just make sure your lessons are prepared well, you know the meaning and the pronunciation of new vocabulary, you know how to explain certain grammar rules. When you create a lesson plan think of questions that your students may ask and make sure you know how to answer them. A good thing about being a non-native teacher is your own experience in learning a foreign language. So, you can easily foresee what you might be asked. In order to feel less stressed, after you prepare a lesson a plan have a bit of practice of your lesson. Make sure you can give clear instructions, explanations etc. As for everyday interactions with other teachers I wouldn’t be worried too much. They are all stressed as well. Just enjoy it. You’ve passed your interview so I’m sure you’ll be fine 😊. If there is anything you need I’m happy to help. Good luck. 🍀
@@BConca06 Hey, I'm still doing the course. I am going to start the second week of the course. It's a great course. It teaches us that teaching is not perfect and we always learn something new.
Hi. Thanks for the content. I was wondering if it's possible to work as a part time teacher; because I was thinking about being a part time teacher while being in university, so I can afford my costs.
I would've never guessed you're an non native speaker. Where are you from ? The celta center in my city is charging $1900 and is online only. I'm 35 and have never done any English degree nor do I have any teaching experience. Am I too late ?

Thank you for the video Marta!! I am now in New Zealand deciding about taking CELTA or not. The job market for teachers is very poor now and I am very hesitant and unsure wherease to make this investment. I already have a teaching experience and absolutely love that job but CELTA is a door opener for teaching jobs abroad.
Hi, I am not a BA english or B. ed background. I completed BSc computer & Mba. Is this worthy to do CELTA ? I would like to do Teaching jobs and I'm a Non native speaker.. Pls anyone give me your inputs.
Dear Marta First of all Welldone and congrats i would like to know how much percentage we can fail i dont feel regret after a whole month course if i fail
Hi Zuzu, thanks for your message 😊 and my apologies for the low quality of this video 🙈. As for CELTA only 3% of people end up failing so I wouldn’t worry about that that much 😊. Good luck with your CELTA 💪
Vic Vic Hi there, thanks for your message 😊. Yes, I’m from Poland. As for language certificates, I did neither of them, I had BA in TEFL and a few, good years of teaching experience before doing CELTA. However, as far as I know CAE is enough to do CELTA. None of the other non-native teacher trainees, I was doing CELTA with had CPE. I hope it helps. Are you planning to do CELTA? 😊
@@martafromhowtoteach961 Hi Marta, thanks for your answers :) Currently I am a student and my English is oscilated between B1-C1, everything depends on what we are talking about: speaking, writing or listening and so on. I am impressed by your British accent. Would you be so kind and maybe make a video or just write a comment, how to make your pronounciacion more Biritsh for non naitive speaker. I know that there are a lot of different videos on YT, but why not? :) And maybe how to understand wishes for Polish people or other "hard" English grammar constructions? Greetings :) By the way, do you think people like me, whose English level is not yet C2, but I hope one day it will, are able to pass CELTA, without having diploma in either linguistics or english philology?
Vic Vic Hi there, thanks for all your great suggestions, brilliant ideas. 😊. As for my accent it’s typically Polish but it’s great to hear that I sound more natural. As a kid of 1980s in Poland I hadn’t been given a chance to learn English until I was 14 years old which is a bit late to gain a nice, native-like pronunciation but I would say what helped me the most in practising my pronunciation was watching and listening to loads of different films, songs or radio stations in English and not only listening to but also imitating and parroting phrases in English, every day, consistently for many years, so it involved a lot of talking to myself 😂😂. As for CELTA, I’d waited too long before I applied because I was constantly thinking that I wasn’t good enough. Don’t make the same mistake. You can always apply and see what happens during your interview, if worst comes to worst they may suggest you should improve in one or two areas of English or sth else and then you will reapply. However, what’s crucial is to know why you want to do CELTA. For me it was a chain reaction, I really wanted to work at language schools in England during summer holidays so I decidedly to do CELTA in the UK, it gave me both: the qualifications and more confidence ( which is sth I’ve been always lacking), then once I got a job at language schools in the UK I decided to take the next step and I did PGCE, then worked in mainstream schools in the UK, then at British Council in Poland etc. So I think it is really important to have a plan and not waste a lot of money on CELTA without really knowing what to do with that. For me it was the fact that I survived CELTA in the UK that gave me confidence to keep going for you it may be something else. I hope it helps 😊. All the best and keep my updated.
Dear Marta, thank you for all the information, I am actually interested in getting the Celta, I had a score of 6.5 in IELTS (2017-2019), I hope that I am in some how eligible for it , I would like to take the online version during these circumstances, my question is should I pay for the interview or is it free to apply for it, and if the interview doesn't go well, can we have another chance if we had already pay for it?
imane morjane Hello dear, I hope youre well 😊🌷. As for the interview, its for free and if it doesnt go well, you can improve whatever needs improvement and try one more time... maybe at a different Centre. Just remember, noone should ask you to pay for a CELTA interview. 😊 Keep my fingers crossed and let me know how the interview went.
Theaster Hi there 😊, I’m not sure what you mean, IELTS is a language certificate that you need to pass ( an academic level) if you’re planning to take studies. CELTA is a teaching certificate that entitles you to teach EFL/ESL students. To tell you the truth, I’m not sure if you can use CELTA instead of IELTS as these are two very different certificates. Having said that, it may varies between the countries and if you want to study, let’s say, TESOL then you may contact the university you’re applying for and ask them about it. I believe that contacting universities directly is the best way to do it 😊. I hope it helps, have a lovely day. 🍀🍀
Asif Ali Hi there, sure I’ll try to help you as much as I can. 😊 You don’t need IELTS as everything will be assessed during your application and interview stage. Each candidate is an individual case so if I were you I would simply apply for CELTA at the centre of your choice and see what happens 😊. Good luck 🍀
Siby Joseph Hi Joseph, yes it does, you can become either an IELTS teacher or an examiner, the latter one involves substantial experience teaching adults 😊
Please avoid doing Celta with International House Budapest. They are a disaster: disorganised, tutors contradict themselves in class, bad atmosphere in class... Not worth the investment
Hi Imen, thanks for your message. I used to teach in state and international schools in England but right now Im working for British Council and Im also a freelance teacher/a teacherpreneur so Im moving around. 😊How about you? Where are you from? Are you an EFL teacher?
@@martafromhowtoteach961 Hi Marta, I live in England permanently. I hold a BA degree in English language &literature and a Master's degree in Applied Linguistics from Tunisia. I want to teach English in England, but I thought it is going to be weird as i'am not a native speaker and I don't have experience of teaching. I'am a bit reluctant at the moment, as I haven't practiced anything for 6years. I need some advice from someone like you who has got experience of teaching in the UK. I'm intending to apply for Post compulsory PGCE, but I feel I'm not confident enough to go for it, especially after this long break. I really appreciate if you can help. Many thanks Marta

By the way, do you think people like me, whose English level is not yet C2, but I hope one day it will, are able to pass CELTA, without having diploma in either linguistics or english philology?
Vic Vic Hi there, thanks for all your great suggestions, brilliant ideas. 😊. As for my accent it’s typically Polish but it’s great to hear that I sound more natural. As a kid of 1980s in Poland I hadn’t been given a chance to learn English until I was 14 years old which is a bit late to gain a nice, native-like pronunciation but I would say what helped me the most in practising my pronunciation was watching and listening to loads of different films, songs or radio stations in English and not only listening to but also imitating and parroting phrases in English, every day, consistently for many years, so it involved a lot of talking to myself 😂😂. As for CELTA, I’d waited too long before I applied because I was constantly thinking that I wasn’t good enough. Don’t make the same mistake. You can always apply and see what happens during your interview, if worst comes to worst they may suggest you should improve in one or two areas of English or sth else and then you will reapply. However, what’s crucial is to know why you want to do CELTA. For me it was a chain reaction, I really wanted to work at language schools in England during summer holidays so I decidedly to do CELTA in the UK, it gave me both: the qualifications and more confidence ( which is sth I’ve been always lacking), then once I got a job at language schools in the UK I decided to take the next step and I did PGCE, then worked in mainstream schools in the UK, then at British Council in Poland etc. So I think it is really important to have a plan and not waste a lot of money on CELTA without really knowing what to do with that. For me it was the fact that I survived CELTA in the UK that gave me confidence to keep going for you it may be something else. I hope it helps 😊. All the best and keep my updated.
Dear Marta, thank you for all the information, I am actually interested in getting the Celta, I had a score of 6.5 in IELTS (2017-2019), I hope that I am in some how eligible for it , I would like to take the online version during these circumstances, my question is should I pay for the interview or is it free to apply for it, and if the interview doesn't go well, can we have another chance if we had already pay for it?
Thank you so much, love from Morocco
imane morjane Hello dear, I hope youre well 😊🌷. As for the interview, its for free and if it doesnt go well, you can improve whatever needs improvement and try one more time... maybe at a different Centre. Just remember, noone should ask you to pay for a CELTA interview. 😊 Keep my fingers crossed and let me know how the interview went.
Thank you so much for your answer 😘
Hey Marta, Please I would know is it possible to apply for scholarship I mean to study abroad with CELTA certificate instead of IELTS
Theaster Hi there 😊, I’m not sure what you mean, IELTS is a language certificate that you need to pass ( an academic level) if you’re planning to take studies. CELTA is a teaching certificate that entitles you to teach EFL/ESL students. To tell you the truth, I’m not sure if you can use CELTA instead of IELTS as these are two very different certificates. Having said that, it may varies between the countries and if you want to study, let’s say, TESOL then you may contact the university you’re applying for and ask them about it. I believe that contacting universities directly is the best way to do it 😊. I hope it helps, have a lovely day. 🍀🍀
Marta from How To Teach Thank you so much you’re totally right 🙏
Ma'm, Could you please tell me the C1 level Englis? It can be M.A in English in India.
Is IELTS necessay for CELTA?
Asif Ali Hi there, sure I’ll try to help you as much as I can. 😊 You don’t need IELTS as everything will be assessed during your application and interview stage. Each candidate is an individual case so if I were you I would simply apply for CELTA at the centre of your choice and see what happens 😊. Good luck 🍀
Well, just cause you are an MA doesn't necessarily mean u are at c1 lvl ...yeah but it mostly works as long as ur fluent !!
Can u plz suggest some universities and cost
Marta, TTT🤗
Does CELTA qualify one to become an IELTS trainer?
Siby Joseph Hi Joseph, yes it does, you can become either an IELTS teacher or an examiner, the latter one involves substantial experience teaching adults 😊
@@martafromhowtoteach961 thanks for replying.☺️ May I ask..what about TESOL?
And is CELTA better than TESOL or are both the same thing ?
Please avoid doing Celta with International House Budapest. They are a disaster: disorganised, tutors contradict themselves in class, bad atmosphere in class... Not worth the investment
Are you teaching in England Marta?
Hi Imen, thanks for your message. I used to teach in state and international schools in England but right now Im working for British Council and Im also a freelance teacher/a teacherpreneur so Im moving around. 😊How about you? Where are you from? Are you an EFL teacher?
@@martafromhowtoteach961 Hi Marta, I live in England permanently. I hold a BA degree in English language &literature and a Master's degree in Applied Linguistics from Tunisia. I want to teach English in England, but I thought it is going to be weird as i'am not a native speaker and I don't have experience of teaching. I'am a bit reluctant at the moment, as I haven't practiced anything for 6years. I need some advice from someone like you who has got experience of teaching in the UK. I'm intending to apply for Post compulsory PGCE, but I feel I'm not confident enough to go for it, especially after this long break. I really appreciate if you can help. Many thanks Marta
Imen Trabelsi Sure, I’ll happily help you with that. Just send me an e-mail and specify what exactly you need help with 😊😊. martahowtoteach@gmail.com. All the best 😊🌷
@@martafromhowtoteach961 thank you so much Marta. I will get in touch soon.
@@martafromhowtoteach961 Hi Martha, I hope you are doing well. I sent you an email a couple of days ago. I'am waiting for your reply. Many thanks.
