The Language House TEFL

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!

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.

I came to Prague in September to take the TEFL course through The Language House. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made! After four weeks I felt prepared to teach English confidently. Wonderful and helpful staff and insturctors who help with everything from lesson planning to getting settled here in Prague.
I would recommend the course to anyone! =)

I attended the Language House TEFL back in 2013. Although I have not utilized my experience as an English teacher, I must say that the experience I received at this school was top notch. As someone who is more introspective, I at first had a difficult time adjusting to the reality of standing in front of a classroom and teaching, something I had never done before. The Language House TEFL is unique in that they offer you more than double the individualized teaching practice that other courses do. It is standard at this school to receive 14 hours of teaching practice before being granted your certificate. All along the way you are evaluated on your teaching skills and provided encouragement on how you can do better.
As other reviewers have pointed out, the relationships you make in this program are really special. Whether or not you are social, you are basically «forced» into a situation where you are going to grow close to your classmates. All of the classroom activities are designed to be done in community, not in isolation. I had serious thoughts of quitting the course in the beginning because of my own fears of putting myself out there, but looking back, I realize that finishing the course was one of the best decisions of my life. We learned so much as a group, I personally learned a lot about Prague, about myself, and about what it takes to teach effectively. Although the coursework is very hard, there is ample opportunity to tour the city and get to know your surroundings. As a tip, I will mention that the course becomes much easier to the extent that you develop relationships with the other students. This course is meant to be done in community, not in isolation.
Chris is an outstanding, funny, and professional individual. I enjoyed my teachers and the administrators and staff. Some of the most memorable experiences of my life took place during this course. It will be what you put into it. Come prepared to work hard and also to enjoy yourself fully. I am confident that I could reach out to many of my classmates and they would instantly know who I am, and that’s two years removed from graduation. I am very proud to have graduated from the Language House TEFL, and highly recommend the experience to anyone who is willing to work hard and make positive connections. It feels good to know that I can go almost anywhere in the world and teach English based on the fact that I graduated with this certificate. Do yourself a favor and choose a reputable TEFL school. Choose the Language House TEFL.

Going to the Language House was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It has changed my life in such a positive way that money can not buy.
Chris was helpful from the very beginning. Literally calling me seconds after I filled out my application. The course provides you with every resource you’ll need to be a teacher and get a job.
The community within the Language House is probably the best part. I made lifelong friends while attending the course and met more great friends from courses after. If you are coming to Prague the Language House is the only way to go.

Unilocal reviews are for many things: new restaurants, low key dive bars, hip cocktail and wine establishments, ethnic food shacks, etc. I would never in a million years use Unilocal as my sole decider of what language school to use. I spent months researching online which language school was the best and finally decided on The Language House. (let’s be honest, language school will be a much bigger financial investment than any new cocktail or gastronomical dinner you’ll ever buy) but all that to say, I’m going to leave a honest review.
I am a former graduate of The Language House. There were no surprises when I arrived, no unexpected fees and it was exactly like I had been told. (I say this because the first week I arrived, we met some other language school students and the school they went to did not actually have accommodations for them and of course did not tell them till they arrived, bright-​eyed and new to Prague AND they had paid for the accommodations) So I was thankful for the honesty of The Language House and knew I had chosen the right place.
I was well prepared for teaching English abroad at The Language House and after teaching in China for a year I went on to get a Masters in Teaching. I taught in Nashville’s pubic schools for five years. Throughout my extended education and multiple conferences, professional developments, etc. I can say hands down my education at The Language House with Chris was the best. The curriculum intense and very good and the structure of the program prepares everyone for the classroom. I highly recommend The Language House.
Now, go do more research on this place, get the Rick Steve’s Prague guide, write down the address of the Franz Kafka café and book your flight. You are on your way to an experience of a lifetime.
Check out their website:
and contact more former students. This place is legit and well worth it and you’ll never forget the people you met or the experiences you all have.
If I could do it all again, I would.

As a former student at The Language House Prague, I can truly say that I had a wonderful experience at the school. The owner and staff go out of their way to help you acclimate to your new home town, provide a challenging curriculum with more teaching hours than any other school, and give you continuous support even after graduation.
Once I started applying for work, I realized how well known and revered the Language House is in Prague. It was almost guaranteed that every hiring manager would compliment me on my choice of language school during my interview. The Language House Prague is known for producing quality teachers. I can’t recommend them highly enough or thank them enough for all that they’ve done for me.
