My experience with the TEFL program at the Language House was very positive. I learned a lot from this challenging course. As someone who has taught at the University level for years, I honestly signed up for the course wanting little more than the certification it would bring me. I quickly found out that there I had a lot to learn about the methodology of teaching English as a second language. The Language House provided a rigorous and extremely useful training that prepared me for the entirely different world of teaching English. The highlights were definitely the extensive amount of time spent teaching real Czech students, as well as the lectures on phonetics and teaching pronunciation, which were very professional and informative. The course was very well organized and ran incredibly smoothly. These people really know what they're doing given their 10+ years experience in this field. In addition to learning a lot, the TEFL program also had a great social aspect. I met some awesome new people, many of whom have gone on to become close friends. The school organized several dinners, pub nights and parties that were great fun and really solidified our class as a group. The support network in terms of finding a job, an apartment, dealing with visa issues etc is also very helpful. Finally the TEFL program was also very helpful and useful for me when I was interviewing for jobs at language schools. When I used some of the concepts and terminology from TEFL in my interviews, I could almost see the interviewers eyes light up, knowing that they were talking to someone who was well trained and prepared to teach. I interviewed at four schools and was offered jobs at all of them as a result. read more

I had an amazing experience at the Language House. Moving across the world alone was a daunting venture , and I truly could not have managed it without the help of Chris Westergaard and his wonderful staff at the Language House. They not only provided assistance and answered all questions during the initial settling in period of moving to Prague, but I now feel 100 % prepared to teach English abroad as a career. The classes were informative, and the environment for learning was great. I learned to plan and effectively teach lessons which was something I began to love more and more as the weeks went on. The workload was vital for the level of preparedness that school helps you reach by the time the course is finished. I left with the confidence to take on living in a foreign country as well as working in one. I highly recommend this school. Not only will you make friends and enjoy your time there as a result... you will also make connections, find willing and helpful English teachers who were once in your shoes and understand what you are going through, and also leave feeling confident to go out and teach. Chris Westergaard is a great guy who makes you feel comfortable and understood . If there is an issue he is willing to help and communicate with you. After I finished my course I got really sick and he was very helpful in helping me try to find a solution. The staff at Language House are there for you even after the course is over, and signing up for this is a decision that was worth every penny. Do it! read more

8 months after having taken the course and having spoken to teachers who took other courses, I can highly recommend The Language House. Not only have I learnt how to be the best teacher I can be but I've also been introduced and included in the community of the past and present Language House TEFLers. This means making loads of friends easily and being able to make the absolute most out of this incredible and very fun city. It's not only a certificate, long after the course ends you still get the benefits with organised social events and support if you need it! Choosing the Language House meant a way into Prague. They help with pretty much anything you could need help with, teaching and non teaching related. Arriving was so simple with the airport transfer and student accommodation being organised by the school and it meant that I could enjoy the Prague experience from day 1! The course was intense but so much fun with the teachers ensuring all the topics covered are delivered in a way that you want to be learning them. The intensity of it just means that you're getting the absolute most out of the month long course and can be super confident when landing your first job. read more

I took the Language House TEFL 3 years ago, and I'm still living and working in Prague. How's that for a success story? The Language House TEFL is regarded to be one of the best--if not--THE best TEFL programme in Prague. The course is very comprehensive and the instructors are all experienced TEFL teachers. They are patient, knowledgable and totally approachable. They have invaluable wisdom in regards to teaching English as a foreign language as well as day-to-day life in Prague. After the course, you will be totally prepared and confident in your ability to teach others. The programme is a great networking opportunity as well. You will make lasting friendships and well as job connections that you'll use in your career in TEFL. Prague is a great city to learn TEFL and the Language House facilitates this by arranging outings and events for you and your fellow classmates to explore the enchanting city of Prague. Moving to Prague was one of the best decisions I've ever made and it started by enrolling with The Language House TEFL. read more

I attended the Language house in November 2013. The classes were really helpful and generally pretty entertaining. I learned more about English grammar than I did in any of my high school or college classes (and sadly, I was an English major). I also came away with a lot of pedagogy and the confidence to start teaching right away because the course includes a lot of actual teaching time. By the second week of class, you're expected to plan and teach 45 minute lessons nearly every day; there's really no better way to learn to teach. I think the best thing about this school though, is the fact that they foster their alumni community. You'll be connected to hundreds of other expats in Prague who can help you find work or housing, help you adapt to living in the CZR, or just show you the best bars in town. And a lot of alum have gone on to teach all over the world, so you've got contacts everywhere. Overall, really positive experience. No complaints. read more

The Language House TEFL was an awesome experience for me and my new friends. The course is tough and requires a lot of energy and creativity throughout the month, but it's challenging in a good way. The instructors were knowledgable and energetic, helpful with lesson planning and gave constructive critiques once "student" teaching begins. They were available at the school throughout the day as well as via social media once the school day was over. Beyond the TEFL certification course, the school has so many alums still living and working in Prague that it's super easy to make friends. I currently live with people from my program, hang out with people from past Language House programs and am constantly meeting more. All in all, it's a great place to start off teaching and living in Prague as you'll learn all there is about teaching English in addition to making awesome friends along the way. Feel free to contact me with any questions! read more

I am currently living and teaching in Prague and I owe it all to The Language House. The decision to move to Europe and begin a new career is a daunting one. There are a lot of TEFL schools out there, which can also seem pretty overwhelming. I chose The Language House because I knew it was an intensive course that offered more hands on teaching experience than any of the others I found. I had a response to my application immediately and within 24 hours was speaking with a staff member from the course. They were organized, accommodating and supportive every step of the way. I completed the course about 3 months ago and they still remain an incredible resource. Whether it is looking for housing, visa information or seeking employment they have been there 100%. If you are looking for a life change or simply want a one of a kind learning experience I strongly encourage you to check them out. You will not regret it! read more

I took the TEFL course at TLH in August 2013 and I have nothing but good things to say! Chris (the owner) is helpful from the very beginning. He guides you through everything from the moving process to teaching to surviving in a foreign country. I have seen him go above and beyond to help his students. He truly cares about each individual and does anything he can to make everyone feel comfortable. The teachers at TLH were comprehensive, professional, fun, and engaging. They made the long days tolerable and were always around to give support and guidance through the student teaching process. The curriculum was very practical and truly helped me grow into a better teacher. The Language House is a highly regarded TEFL program in Prague and with a certificate from this program finding a job was easy! I highly recommend getting a TEFL certificate from TLH Prague. read more

My experience with TLH Prague was very positive. The teachers in the program are very knowledgable about TEFL and will go above and beyond to insure you walk away with the necessary skill set to jump right into a teaching job. Since graduating I've been working for a company that travels to teach for a week at different schools and the whole experience has been eye opening and amazing. The course itself is somewhat stressful, but no more so than your average exam week in University. The Material isn't difficult, as it's only grammar and teaching methods, but when combined with creating lesson plans to teach real Czech students in a classroom, as well as in private lessons you begin to feel the crunch. This level of difficulty really helps when you begin teaching in the real world though so it is very beneficial for you. I highly recommend TLH for earning your read more

What can I say, except for what a great way for someone who is keen on teaching English abroad to learn the craft. The Language House not only provides excellent training through their exhaustive knowledge of the English language and it's uses, but is also a provider of services after you have finished with the school; not only do they want you to learn, but they also want to see you succeed in your mission to teach! Through daily lesson planning classes, and practical teaching classes, the course is smoothly designed to help students progress and become a teacher by the end of it. For a foreigner coming to Prague it is also a great way to meet people, and interact with new social circles. If you are coming to Prague and are serious about teaching English, you will be more than impressed with the level of service that The Language House provides. read more

I attended the Language House in October 2014, and I've been living in Prague since. The school is great! They really go out of their way to prepare you for not only working as a TEFL teacher, but living as an expat too. The course is intense, but well worth it, as you leave with a real understanding of how to teach. They also help with wrapping your brain around English grammar, if you're worried about that. This program offers you more teaching practice than most schools do, and is prepared to help you find work anywhere in the world. They also have a great community of former students living in the city, so you're sure to make friends quickly. I highly recommend the Language House TEFL to anyone who wants to teach English abroad!!!! read more

If you are considering getting your TEFL certificate, The Language House is the way to go. 12+ hours of teaching practice, excellent staff and teachers, and a vast community of graduates. It is by far the best decision that I have ever made. If you have questions or concerns contact them, someone with get back to you and answer what ever question you might have. When I was concerning the program, I Skype called with a staff member for over a hour and she happily answered all of my questions. From what to expect schedule wise, to suggestions about what to pack, and more. Prague is beautiful, the program is demanding and well worth it. I hope to see you soon. read more

After attending The Language House in January 2014, I was incredibly well prepared to work as an English teacher in a foreign country. The course not only offers tons of supervised teaching practice, but also extensive methodology and lesson-planning training. One of the most valuable aspects of TLH, though, is the support system and networking available to alumni. Months after graduating I was still in direct contact with the staff and the school and they are extremely willing to assist graduates in their future plans both in Prague and across the globe. I highly recommend TLH to anyone looking to complete an awesome TEFL certification in an amazing city. read more

I graduated The Language House in Prague back in January. I can't imagine a better course for those wishing to teach English in a foreign country. The training I received at TLH was as entertaining as it was educational. I arrived in Prague knowing nobody, and within a week of class beginning I had 15 new friends. The teachers are knowledgable and approachable. They really went out of their way to help me adjust to life in a new corner of the world. If you are thinking about teaching abroad, I would highly recommend this course. They will help you land a job ANYWHERE, not only in Prague. The accommodations offered were also quite nice. read more

I received my TEFL certificate from The Language House in October 2014 and I found it to be a great program. The instructors are knowledgeable about all things TEFL (this includes where to look for jobs globally) so you have a good foundation for starting your TEFL career. The program offers more hours of actual in course teaching which was helpful for someone who had never stood in front of a class to teach anything before! Plus after you graduate there is a large alumni network for any questions or help you may need. I would highly recommend doing your TEFL certification at The Language House in Prague. read more

I'm so glad I got my TEFL certificate through The Language House! The course was challenging but I learned so much. After 12+ hours of actual classroom teaching, I felt truly prepared to enter the world of teaching after I graduated. The course was also fun! Class was always interesting and we had a good time while learning how to be a teacher. It's a tight-knit community and even as a graduate I'm still included in TLH events. Overall, the program really makes the transition abroad a lot less scary. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone thinking about completing a TEFL course in Prague!! read more

I graduated from the Language House's TEFL course in March 2015, and six months in I'm successfully living in Prague and doing one of the most rewarding work I've ever done.
