Hello, I’m a native Czech speaker with 12 years of experience living abroad. Having learned languages myself, I know how confusing and frustrating the process can be — and how much difference a patient, clear teacher makes.

My biggest strengths as a teacher are patience and empathy — you will never feel silly or judged in my lessons.

My lessons are highly structured, clear, and simplified. I always write down vocabulary, provide translations, and keep all materials organized in one place so students never feel lost or overwhelmed.

I also provide additional learning support such as flashcards, short videos, listening and voice-recording practice, and carefully selected materials whenever they are helpful.

I especially enjoy working with students who need a supportive, encouraging approach or who have tried many times before and still feel confused or discouraged. Together, we take things step by step and build confidence along the way.

For Parents:

Raising a bilingual child can be challenging, and I’m here to help. Lessons for children are engaging and adapted to the child’s age and attention span, with a focus on keeping learning enjoyable.

You’re welcome to book a trial lesson so we can see whether your child feels comfortable learning with me.

For Advanced Learners:

Already past the basics? We can focus on more advanced and engaging aspects of the language. Whether you’re preparing for an exam or simply want to practice conversation, we can explore topics that interest you, including Czech culture.

I began teaching in 2019 in Japan, teaching conversational English and tutoring Czech to motivated learners.

Since then, I have worked as a full-time online Czech tutor, supporting students from different walks of life and with varied learning goals.

Working with diverse learners has strengthened my ability to adapt my teaching style and create personalized, student-centered lessons that support motivation and clear progress.

Ready to start?

If you’ve been thinking about learning Czech but keep putting it off, a trial lesson is a great first step. We’ll get to know each other, set realistic goals, and see whether my teaching style works for you — with no pressure and no judgment.

Learning a language doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. With the right approach, it can finally start to make sense.
