Certification
CELTA - Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages
Certifications Description
CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) by Cambridge covered the principles of effective teaching. I mastered my teaching skills, language analysis and lesson planning as well as the deliver of precise feedback and assesment for my students.
Teaching Assistant Level 3 course deepened my understanding of the Teacher Assistant's role in the classroom on how to facilitate student learning, support emotional and social development, apply strategies to encourage and sustain positive behaviour among students and help teachers deliver high-quality lessons.
The course on Understanding Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, and ADHD equipped me with a deep understanding of the symptoms, behaviours, and diagnostic aspects associated with these conditions. Additionally, it provided me with valuable insights on how to effectively support and collaborate with children on the spectrum.
