Docendo discimus

The brain is a muscle. In the same way, as we train our body, we can train our brain. I understand teaching as a duo of a trainer and a student. I am a demanding teacher because I want you to score a goal.

I am currently writing a dissertation on the subject of how to teach foreigners.

I am a member of Jazykovědné sdružení ČR / Linguistic Association of the Czech Republic and I am a member of the American Association of Teachers of Slavic and East European Languages

I interpreted at the XXII Olympic Winter Games in Sochi.

I have been teaching Russian for 14 years and Czech for foreigners for 10 years, 6 of them at Charles University.
I can help you with Prague slang or prepare for the Permanent Residency Czech Language Exam (A2) or the Czech Citizenship Language Exam (B1).
I have taught in companies such as
Doosan,
Pilsner Urquell,
OrthoPoint,
ICZ,
Greep and BetSys,
ARROWS ETL Global,
Výzkumný Ústav Železniční (Railway Research Institute),
Simpleway,
Bank Gutmann,
J&T Banka,
Sony DADC Czech Republic,
Energizer,
DKV EURO SERVICE,
Wavin Ekoplastik
Oracle.

I combine my materials (from my PhD thesis) with a textbook, an exercise book, and videos. As a trained bohemian, I like to tell students about the tumultuous history of the Czech language. During the conversation, I correct grammar and pronunciation without interrupting the students. I always insist on homework, which I check at home only. The cancellation policy is 24 hours in advance.
