Default Re: My Celta interview couldn't have been worse :(

hey, don't worry too much. it's great that you're concerned about how it went as it shows that you're genuinely keen on doing the course. However, the score on the grammar test isn't really that important. When I did my pre-test to join the CELTA course, I got around 50% - and that was having read a grammar book beforehand! I had no idea what the 'present perfect' was, and a 'conjunction' could have come in and slapped me and I wouldn't have been able to recognize it. My tutors subsequently told me that you learn the grammar as you go along, and that's exactly what I did (and am still doing).

What's more important for them is that you're serious about doing it, are willing and able to learn new ideas and have the confidence to teach. If your course is anything like the one I did, you'll have an enjoyable, stressful, rewarding, emotional experience. Have fun and good luck!
