Testimonials

I found The Language House by doing a search online for TEFL schools in Prague. I went with my gut feeling and enrolled in TLH. It was the best decision I ever made! I learned so much about teaching through Chris and the other trainers, was more than prepared to tackle my first lessons, and found that TLH has a very good reputation amongst employers in Prague. I had about 12 job offers by the time the course was over - but I worked very hard in the class and received top marks for my hard work. I definitely got back what I put into it. I would recommend TLH to anyone who is willing to work hard and be the best teacher they can possibly be (and have a lot of fun in the process)!

Hello all!

I took the TEFL course at The Language House almost a year ago (November 2004). I was able to secure a job in Prague simply because I was a graduate of this particular course. They have a good reputation with several other schools that are always looking for responsible teachers. The course itself was a lot of fun, demanding and very rewarding overall. The staff at The Language House were superb and were able to answer all of my questions about teaching, schools, grammar, Prague, why the little man on the street crossing sign is wearing a little hat.... you know, important questions. I also met a lot of great people there, many of which I am still in contact with. Overall, my experiences at The Language House were amazing. I felt confident with the information I received there to tackle my first teaching job. I would recommend it to anyone.

What I like about The Language House is that they are a small school and as such they are very personal and attentive to the needs of individuals. The staff really seemed to understand the confusion that one experiences arriving in a foreign country, and the terror of teaching for the first time. They also give you a rigorous training in grammar, which I've heard other schools don't, and that's something you really need. Even if you think you don't, you do. Most of all I liked the friendly open attitude of the staff and the course. I remained friends with both the staff and my fellow TEFL students throughout my stay in Prague.

The TEFL program at The Language House not only prepared me for the unexpected difficulties of teaching, but the staff also went out of their way to ease the transition into living in a foreign country. They provided both a social and professional support structure and remained dedicated to helping me and my friends in the program with any questions and concerns long after the program was complete. Both my friend and I were hired to teach at The Language House itself after graduating with distinguished honors from the program. The Language House's emphasis on practical teaching skills, its community feel, and its dedication to your successful job placement, make it a far superior choice to any of the other schools I heard stories about while living in Prague.

The Language House was a challenging and rich experience that fully prepared me to teach English at a quality level. It stands apart from the hundreds of other TEFL courses because it's TEFL and language school that instills in its students a grammatical and pedagogical foundation upon which original, creative, and fun lessons can be created and taught. I think, however, what truly makes the Language House unique and remarkable is its staff. These are people that genuinely care about the well-being of their students both inside and outside of the classroom and possess a lot of ingenuity, intelligence, and talent for what they do. I am prepared and confident in any area of TEFL whether its teaching 1 student or 30, interviewing for (and getting) a job, communicating to a class without words, or explaining the intricate details of English grammar. The Language House is just that damn good.

I am glad to confirm that Ceska Sporitelna, a.s. District Branch Prague 2 has been a client of The Language House for more than 5 years. All the Ceska Sporitelna employees, who have taken part in The Language courses, were fully satisfied with the level of service that The Language House provided. The cooperation became more frequent when The Language House started the TEFL courses. We have met several Language House teachers and all of them were responsible and professionally working people, always willing to help when we were in need.   In general, out of all of the teachers that I have met in Prague, I find the ones trained at The Language House to be the best

Yours

I just received my TEFL certification from The Language House and the program was incredible. The school provided tons of actual teaching experience and the classes were productive, fun and helpful. It has been less than a week since I finished the course and I have already been offered several teaching jobs and begin work next week. The Language House staff, especially Chris Westergaard, has been helpful every step of the way and I recommend their TEFL program to anyone looking to teach English as a second language.

Lisa Miller

TEFL Graduate (August 2005)

As both a student of TEFL and later as a teacher, The Language House proved an invaluable tool in forwarding my career and life goals.  Their knowledge of TEFL and experience in Prague greatly helps those individuals who could be a little unsure in their steps into a brave new world.

I graduated from The Language House TEFL Program September 04 and it was an awesome experience. The school is right next to the National Museum, and the faculty is great. You get an apartment or flat to stay in (it's part of the deal), and they will pick you up from the airport and take you directly to your new residence. Additionally, the instructors give you a guided tour of the city and provide everything you need to get around Prague (ie. tram/subway passes, internet access, a list of legitimate taxi services, good places to eat, etc.)...you get hooked up. They will also teach you survival Czech. Student teachers get experience teaching at the beginner, pre-intermediate, and intermediate levels to a variety of cultures (Czechs, Slovaks, Romanians, Russians). Student teachers also learn a ton of grammar, which is necessary for teaching in Europe (they're really big on grammar). If you go to The Language House for TEFL training, you will walk out knowing basically everything you need to know to teach English as a foreign language. I highly recommend this program -I had a lot of fun.
