What do I like about Cardiff and Celtic English Academy?

Things I like with Celtic is that teachers and receptionist are very available and take their time to explain something you haven’t understand. I have discovered plenty of brand of new words and expression, very useful when I have to discuss with somebody else. They help you feel more comfortable, especially if it’s you’re time you do that time of experience.

What was your favourite lesson and why?

My favourite lesson was the morning lesson because I got more time to discuss with the teacher and learn more about each other. I also learn plenty of brand new words, which is very helpful to speak in society.

How did you find studying at Celtic despite the pandemic?

I find it great because the staff keep organized some activities online and also offline. Furthermore, the quality of the lesson was still good and the teacher could always help you to progress even if it was not a face to face lesson.

Did you find it beneficial to study with a small number of students in the class?

Yes, it’s beneficial because the teacher could more focus on your lacks and she isn’t flooded by the number of students. And you still can make some new relationships with students there in the class.

What is the best memory that you will take home from this experience?

The best experience was maybe the cycling afternoon with the Celtic staff and students because the weather was good and I could discover a different part of Cardiff city and especially Cardiff Bay.

Would you recommend Celtic English Academy to your family and friends and why?

Yes, I would definitely because I find that lessons were great and teachers are really helpful and available to help you each day to progress by giving useful tools like the website, for example. There’s also an attentive staff who can help you to sort out any kind of problem if you don’t know how to do things by yourself.
