ESL Classes

There are basically two components of every CELTA course. One component includes sessions where you, the CELTA student, are the pupils of our Teaching House CELTA trainers, who run classes on teaching methodology and practice. In the other component, you become the teacher. In order for you to teach, however, you need students. To fill this need, we recruit students from around New York City, Boston, Miami, and San Diego whose native language is not English; and we offer them free ESL classes. The students you'll be teaching are people who have immigrated to the United States, who are currently living and working in the States, or who are simply visiting, traveling, and want to get some formal language instruction while they're here. These ESL classes are beneficial for the students and necessary for you. Normally, we get 10-15 'teaching practice' students in each class.

If you are an ESL student who would like these classes you can sign up for the free English classes here.
