Meet Our Trainers

Our CELTA courses are delivered by a team of highly qualified and experienced teacher trainers with diploma-level English language teaching qualifications. Each trainer brings substantial classroom and online teaching experience across a wide variety of contexts, levels, and course types.

In-House Trainers

All of our trainers have successfully completed Cambridge’s rigorous CELTA Trainer Program and are regularly assessed by Cambridge English assessors to ensure the highest standards of delivery. This means our training team is not only effective in guiding CELTA candidates, but also continuously engaged in their own professional development. What sets our trainers apart is their dedication and commitment to providing the best possible training experience. They work closely with every CELTA trainee, supporting them through teaching practice, assignments, and professional growth.

  • Passionate Mentorship

    “The tutors on the course were obviously experienced and passionate about what they are doing, and I gained a lot from observing them in a teaching environment.”

  • Knowledge Gain

    I completed the CELTA training course at ACE in Siem Reap, Cambodia. I made the choice to undertake the course there as it’s a beautiful location and an inexpensive place to live for a month. The course is a rollercoaster of emotions, but I can honestly say that I gained so much knowledge and expertise from the teacher trainers and tutors, who were always on hand to offer advice and support.

  • Life-Changing Journey

    To say that this course has been life-changing for me is no exaggeration – I have learnt so much in a short space of time, and absolutely feel ready to take on the challenge of being a full-time teacher now. This has in part been due to my own application and hard work, but just as importantly, is also attributable to the professionalism, expertise and guidance from the tutors here at the ACE CELTA Centre.
