"I was so lucky to complete my CELTA in Malta (Sliema)"

When I started the CELTA course, I was fully aware that it would be a challenging endeavor. I was so lucky to complete my CELTA in Malta (Sliema). The team of CELTA tutors were kind, caring, and supportive throughout the 4 weeks of my education. I had some difficulties as I had to relearn how to teach, and I am immensely grateful to my tutors for their support and patience. They also helped me with my assignments a lot by providing detailed comments on my work, and I could also ask any questions on resubmissions. As for the input sessions, they were never boring: we participated in the activities, gave a lot of thought to the tasks, and discussed in pairs as a group of future teachers.

The school is well-equipped and extremely well-organized. They even provide decent accommodation, as finding a cheap place to stay in Malta is quite challenging. It was a good decision to rent a room at the school premises as my classroom was next door to my room, so I could get to the class the very last minute, meaning more time for assignments and preparation. On the other hand, you will have to be ready to share a bathroom, shower, and the kitchen with other dwellers. Though if you organize your routine well, you might not meet lots of people in the corridor.

There is also a nice café, Sotto, next to the school, so if you aren’t ready to cook lunch every day, and you won’t have much time for that, you can go there for a pizza, coffee, and apperetivo on Fridays.
