About us
We teach Czech to foreigners so that they can truly live in Czechia.
Who are we and how we teach?
- We are Katka and Monika, Czech language tutors for foreigners. We have been teaching Czech since 2016 and take pride in making sure our lessons have a practical impact on real life.
We will prepare you for real-life situations – from ordering a beer in a pub or buying a train ticket to passing the permanent residency or citizenship exam.

Ever since I was a child, I’ve always been excited to meet people from foreign countries. It was always shame that I couldn’t have a good conversation with them however, since I didn’t speak English all that well. My English has improved since then, but I decided to help foreigners in the Czech Republic who want to speak our language. I’ve been teaching Czech since 2016 as well and in that time I’ve I helped dozens of students to get fluent., even helping some of them to pass certified exams. Like Monika, I worked for 6 years in a large language school where not only did I teach Czech, but I also led methodology training for teachers and prepared materials.
I speak English and can remember the basics of German, but I have taught students from all over the world.

How people communicate has always fascinated me, and so I help people to be able to better communicate with each other. I love teaching beginners- I’ll show you how logical and beautiful a language Czech can be with a smile on my face! There’s no need to wait- we’ll be talking in Czech from the very first lesson.
I’ve been teaching Czech since 2016 and I have taught hundreds of lessons to dozens and dozens of satisfied students. I also worked as Senior Teacher in a large language schools for three years, taking care of a team of teachers as well as preparing and leading teacher training sessions. In 2019, Katka and I gave a talk together at a conference hosted by the Association of Language Schools.
I also speak English and Spanish, but I have experience teaching students from all across Europe, coming from a variety of language backgrounds.
