Where do I begin? When I signed up for this TEFL course I didn’t think it was really going to happen. I didn’t think I was going to eventually leave my family and friends and move abroad. When I say I didn’t think it was going to happen, it didn’t feel like reality.

When I arrived in Prague I was terrified!! All the staff made me feel right at home. I soon had friend and a family here in Prague. We got through the course together and encourage each other.

I would encourage anyone who is considering teaching English as a foreign language abroad to take this course!

The Language House exceeded all of my expectations. I’ve never had teachers like this before- teachers who are 100% invested in your growth as a teacher. I looked forward to the engaging classes and was grateful to get so many practice lessons in with real Czech students. I feel well equipped to teach English. I’m very grateful for the time and energy each staff member gave to us. Great community- highly recommend!

I thought this course was amazing! I did not expect to learn as much as I did from the teachers and observers! I thought the location was very central and easy to access from the student housing. Everyone from the language house is very friendly and helpful! I would highly recommend this course! It was an unforgettable experience!

The Language House is a fantastic place to do your TEFL certification. When I first decided that I wanted to get my TEFL certification I was unsure where exactly I was going to go to take it and ended up going through a different program that works with The Language House here in Prague. It was honestly one of the best decisions that I could have made. The Language House really cares about the people who come into the course making you feel welcome and at home. Getting this certification can be stressful at times but never did I feel like I couldn’t do it because I knew that all the teachers and observers are here to help you improve and really hone your skills to the level that it should be. Chris and other observers are here to work with you to help you and if you are having trouble they really put in the extra time and effort to make sure that you are more confident in your ability to teach lessons. It is also really helpful that they set up the practice teaching for you and all of the staff members are extremely helpful with lesson planning and just overall know their TEFL lingo. Every teacher is easy to get in touch with and is understanding of what you are going through. Though it was stressful at times I would 100% take this course again here at The Language House, I feel extremely more confident in my teaching skills now than I did before. Go to this school!!

TLH provided help from start to finish. I had wanted to do a TEFL course for years and came across this one. Two minutes after I had completed my application I received a call and within the weekend my journey to come to Prague had been simplified for me. TLH provided different options for living accommodations, helped you get your month long travel pass and encouraged you to build your support networks. The trainers all knew their grammar, knew how to teach and were very approachable if other help was needed. The course is intensive, you have to want to teach and put the time in. But worth every penny I put in! They also helped people with Visas and are active in providing job assistance because they do want you to have a job after you finish the course.

The Language House (TLH) really focuses on having you become the best teacher you can be. The instructors are passionate, and really want you to understand the methodologies and mechanics of teaching .

Students receive 15 hours of teaching time by the end of the course! Students of TLH have the opportunity to teach CEFRL A1-C2 levels. Due to logistics, it is impossible to guarantee that students will teach all levels. However, the TLH student will teach at least three different CEFRL levels throughout the duration of the course. The teaching time, with the exception of 1 to 1 sessions, is with a group of 3-10 Czech students, and is observed and critiqued immediately after the session.

TLH has programming to help students navigate job searching and interviews, apartment hunting, and visa processes. They try to make sure that students have access to answers to any questions they might have about becoming an expat. You’re also given job assistance for life, and a network of fantastic alumni.

TLH is not stuck in a “this is the way we’ve done it” mentality. The course is dynamic, and Chris Westergaard and company are always looking for ways to improve the school in ways that make sense for the students and instructors. The Language House is constantly striving to be the best, which makes them stand out.

Damn Language House you really kicked my butt but it was totally worth it! Definitely one of the most challenging things I have ever done in my life and now I feel ready to take on the teaching world! I have gained so much more confidence, especially in public speaking. Here I know I have made friendships that will last a lifetime and now I am looking forward to traveling all ar Europe. Many thanks!

I chose to move to Prague because The Language House came highly recommended and was the most comprehensive course I could find. I was really just looking for a way to move abroad. I have to say, the course exceeded all my expectations and fully set me up to be able to live and work in this country! Not only do they provide extensive methodology training and real teaching practice, they also create an environment of fun and inclusivity. There are tours, dinners, and drinks with the group and you can have the exact level of involvement you prefer. You will not have time for daily sightseeing but that is why it is an intensive course, every minute contains valuable information that will ensure your success as a teacher. If you are committed to learning the material, preparing lessons to the best of your ability, and studying grammar you will have no problem. Each staff member is incredibly interesting and kind, most are hilarious. The resources after the course are incredibly helpful as well. There is a huge alumni network where people daily pass on apartments, jobs, and event recommendations. You can access The Language House at any time for printing or teaching material. AND they assist with the entire visa process. I feel very lucky to be a part of this community and to have had this experience!!
