TEACHING EXPERIENCE
CELTA Teaching Practice

Planned and delivered supervised lessons to adult learners as part of CELTA, receiving structured tutor feedback on lesson staging, instruction-giving and classroom management.
Competencies that I developed during the course:
- Structured Lesson Frameworks: Designed and delivered clear, logical lesson plans using visually engaging materials to ensure a seamless flow between different stages of the lesson.
- Adaptive Classroom Management: Capable of listening closely to learner needs and making confident, on-the-spot adjustments to clarify complex concepts.
- Student-Centric Methodology: Actively transitioned from teacher-led explanations to guided discovery, ensuring learners independently identify grammar and vocabulary patterns to minimize Teacher Talking Time.
