 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My journey with Mr. Ahmed began in February 2026, and since then we have been having classes online and offline, and both of them are incredible, Mr. Ahmed explains and helps me a lot, loving when I ask him questions during the lesson and guides me through learning Arabic Language. I want to say huge thanks to Sheena as well for her cooperation and providing me with the information.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took Italian classes at Eton Institute with Rosa and I can’t recommend her enough. She was great from the very first lesson. She picked up quickly on how I learn and knew exactly how to keep me motivated and push me to do my best. She was patient with me and really thorough, never rushing through anything until I’d properly got it. That approach is a big part of why I passed my CILS B1 on the first attempt. Grazie mille, Rosa!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm happy for completing the CELTA course at Eton. It took me around 2 months and a half, I did it online and it was a great experience. My tutors Tr. Bellen and Tr. Ismail were fantastic, they offered support and the classes were organized live and fun. However, it can be intense in a sense that I had to study and forget what I knew about teaching because CELTA has different techniques. We where given instructions before the course started on what to expect by solving or going through 3 modules which where very helpful. I chose to take CELTA at Eton because its affordable. I really enjoyed teaching real students and getting to know my colleagues it's a memorable experience.
