Testimonials

Joana and I enjoy hosting students because as young kids once, we loved travelling, finding out new things and cultures. As young teenagers things can be quite overwhelming as you’re turning into an adult so making sure whenever we have any students over we make them feel as comfortable as possible. Anything to make them feel closer to home which in turn makes their experience even more worthwhile.

“I strongly believe that studying the CELTA course for me has been very important. I was very excited to accept this intense study challenge. I loved every minute of it! A big thank you to my fantastic tutors, Sandie and Chris. They are both, very professional ,knowledgeable, friendly and supportive. Thank you!”

“The CELTA course is intense, but worth it if being an English teacher is what you want to do. From the CELTA I have taught people from ages 4-80, in a variety of settings, from business schools, in a business, or one2one. The CELTA helps prepare you for how to find and plan your own lessons without relying on someone giving you a teaching plan.”

“I thought the CELTA course at Canterbury Concorde was a great course. I travel a lot and use ESL as a way to live abroad and having my CELTA means I can secure positions at reputable education providers. From April-June I am looking to teach English in Palestine and having my CELTA will give me more confidence teaching all ages and abilities.”

“Honestly, I could write a whole essay on how amazing my time on the course was, and it’s all thanks to Sandy and Chris. They made me feel so comfortable and engaged from day one, and their support and advice was always thoughtful and motivating. They helped me to believe in myself as a teacher and were inspiring to work with. I was in tears on the last day of the course after having such an amazing time. I’ll never forget it!”

“ Great lessons! The material was useful, the activities were well presented, and the teacher was just amazing!”

“Excellent lesson… busy, versatile and interesting.
Excellent explanations given by the teachers. High quality articles used!”

When I started Concorde online course the most I felt was that the teachers were so friendly and they made me more comfortable in the classes. I tried two different classes at the beginning and it was great  that I have got a class at the most appropriate level. I can see the teachers sharing students’ information so I am so relaxed on the course.

I learnt a great deal concerning academic disciplines, structuring essays and giving different types of presentations. All these skills are very important for my Master’s study at university!

I found Concorde International surfing on the internet, while I was looking for a General English adult summer course in 2016, and the formula that CI offers met my needs perfectly.

Then a pandemic year affected the whole world, but luckily, Concorde International organised the online courses which – again – perfectly suited my requirements.

I love the way CI organises the class and the competence and preparation of the tutors. Dealing with international students, having a native speaking English moderator, that suggests interesting and current topics, is a great experience and a unique opportunity of personal growth connecting yourself to the whole world. I continue to renew my enrolment because I love to spend my time with amazing people, improving my knowledge of English and I definitely must thank Concorde International for this chance. 

In 2018 I chose Concorde International to improve my English and was very happy. During the lockdown I wanted to keep practising my English, improve the vocabulary and have do something fun. The General English course was ideal in my case. Jane, the teacher is always very helpful. As soon as it is possible I will go back to Canterbury to attend an English course with Concorde. Excellent school.

This English course has been really amazing, we had a lot of fun! The teacher is very brilliant and energetic, I think she makes me to improve my English a lot.

It has been a little bit strange meeting new Italian people and speaking a foreign language. It has surely been an experience to be repeated for me.
