Welcome back to our CELTA blog series!
Day 4 is here – and the course is officially in full swing. Energy levels are high, the schedule is packed, and trainees are fully immersed in the CELTA experience.
In today’s vlog series, we take you behind the scenes of a busy and inspiring day, showing what life on the course really looks like once things gain momentum.
A Packed and Energising Day on CELTA
Day 4 brought together everything that makes CELTA intense and exciting at the same time. The day started with an input session led by our fantastic trainer, Eszter, setting the tone for what followed.
From there, the focus shifted quickly to practice and preparation:
-
Assisted lesson planning, where trainees worked closely with tutors to shape their upcoming lessons
-
Teaching practice, with trainees already stepping confidently into the classroom
-
And yes — planning tomorrow’s sessions was already underway by the end of the day
It’s a fast-paced rhythm, but one that helps trainees grow rapidly and purposefully.
Meet Eszter – Our Main Course Tutor
One of the highlights of Day 4 is getting to know Eszter, our main CELTA course tutor. In the vlog, she shares what drew her to CELTA training and what she loves most about supporting future teachers.
She also offers some golden advice for trainees, including:
-
“Less is more – keep it short and simple.”
-
“Visualise the classroom while planning.”
-
“Pay attention in feedback – not just your own!”
Beyond methodology, Eszter talks about the importance of staying connected to the classroom as a teacher — and reminds us that CELTA trainers are human too, with stories about camping trips and the occasional cold Czech drink. 🍻⛺

Day 4 perfectly captures the buzz of the CELTA course: focused, challenging, supportive, and genuinely motivating. The learning curve is steep, but the progress is real — and visible every single day.
