Be Your Own Grammar Guru
the Online Grammar course Specifically for ESL Teachers
Grammar. If you've just started teaching, you may have learned this the hard way: being native English speakers doesn't mean we actually know anything about it.

about to take the CELTA course and in need of some solid grammar knowledge before you start?
fresh off the CELTA course and feeling like your head is still spinning? (past perfect continuous what now?)
tired of feeling like a deer in the headlights every time a student asks you a question?
genuinely into English grammar but in need of a better/ simpler way to explain it to others?
This is the course for you! We all have to start somewhere; this course is everything you need to build your grammar confidence and finally feel like you really know what you’re talking about.

As CELTA trainers, we've helped candidates through the ups and downs of the course, from day 1 to day 20. We've seen all the successes and all the freak outs. And now we've put together this little course- totally free via email- so you can start CELTA with a head start.
