About Me

Do you need help with your English? Maybe you’ve been studying for years, but still feel stuck. Is speaking or understanding English a challenge? Whether you’re a beginner looking for the right approach or an advanced student needing grammar help or exam preparation, I’m here to help. I’m a TEFL-certified teacher and can adapt lessons to fit your needs. I have both Czech and American backgrounds, having lived in each country for many years. Many Czech students find it helpful to learn from someone who can explain things in their native language and speaks English fluently. I enjoy working with people and love seeing my students grow more confident and comfortable using English. If you’re interested in my classes or want to know more, please contact me at englishhelpprague@gmail.com.

Teacher Experience

I have been teaching individual lessons in the Czech Republic for ten years. I have also taught for several companies, such as MATAMI S.R.O., EFIN SPOL. S. R.O., Global Blue Czech Republic, S.R.O., NEWPS.CZ S.R.O., and others.

Lesson Style

After teaching individual lessons for nine years, I’ve noticed that many of you, especially at the lower and upper intermediate levels, have a sizable vocabulary and have studied lots of grammar, but still struggle to use it correctly in conversation. Often, you concentrate on the meaning of individual words, which doesn't help in understanding the context of the language that is full of phrases, phrasal verbs, and idioms. The ESA method is a fun and effective way to help with this, since it encourages getting your message across clearly. ESA stands for Engage-Study-Activate. In the Engage phase, teachers aim to spark students’ interest and emotions, often by sharing stories, showing pictures, or playing audio. The Study phase helps students learn how the language works, focusing on grammar and sentence structure. Finally, in the Activate phase, students practice using the language in real conversations and activities.
