Is A CELTA Course Crucial To Teach English As A Second Language?
What my inner circle is my authenticity, I had no experience as a qualified English teacher up until 5 years ago. My journey began when I did my TEFL course online accredited by Cambridge. This is before I landed my job as an English Teacher in Spain.

I taught 1-2-1 English lessons to Spanish native classes working through textbooks evaluated
and marked homework assignments. I focused on grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation.

no experience other than the present, future, and past tenses, which I had not practiced since secondary school.

experienced teachers, and you’ll apply your learning by delivering communicative teaching with
English language learners."

Reflecting on classroom teaching
As you can see from the definition of the Celta course due to my prior Teaching English experience from just languages Idiomas, plus my TEFL along with another teaching certificate, I feel as though the Celta was not necessary for me as I already obtained rightful practice in the teaching world. I gained confidence, a deeper understanding of Grammar, I also read several books, my English grammar skills is a lot better today although I still study and learn daily. BENEFITS OF CELTA
However, a Celta is recognized internationally and most notable schools locally and internationally require a Celta plus a degree so it may work in your benefit, and on your CV although it may cost a great deal, you may be entitled to government help.
