Danny Wilkins | DC Teacher Training Director

About Us

We're Danny and Connor and we've been working together since 2016. We set up DC Teacher Training because CELTA meant so much to us in our own lives, allowing both of us to see the world and start exciting new careers in teaching English. Between us, we've worked in over 25 countries and have a combined experience of 30 years in the English language teaching industry. Because CELTA changed our lives, we look forward to helping others on their journey to an exciting new career teaching English abroad.
