My wife and I took the course in August of 2009. The staff was great. They gave great feedback and really helped us all get acclimated with living abroad. The course provides a ton of hands-on teaching of real Czech students in a classroom setting.

The Language House is worth every penny and more!

The staff is well trained, knowledgeable and gives you all the support you need as a TEFL teacher. I came to the program as an experienced teacher, but TEFLing is a whole new ball of wax. I felt ready to teach English grammar even though I never had before. I got a visa, a job and a nice flat in no time. It's not always an easy city to live in, with all the red-tape and sullen faces, but once you break through the barriers, Prague is an easy and safe city to live in. Just be sure to bring enough money with you to start off with! TLH TEFL has always been there for me whenever I am in need. It's a great way to meet the locals and the expat crowd, too.

This program is great. Prague is very safe and there is plenty to do. During the course the teaching staff is very supportive and you have everything you need to teach. The observed teaching is very good and the best experience in the course. It can be a little intense sometimes but you it's necessary for a class that is only a month long. Using the methods you learn in the course always impresses the interviewers at schools looking for new teachers. I definitely recommend this TEFL course and firmly believe it's one of the best, even if you don't plan to stay and teach in Prague. They have great resources and connect you to a large network of other teachers where you'll find plenty of help when you need it. If you do plan to stay in the Czech Republic and you're an American, make sure you apply for a short-term VISA at the embassy in the United States before you come so that you can get an extension while you work on obtaining a long-term VISA and business license/work permit.

I have lived in Prague for over a year since taking the course at The Language House and can truly say it is definitely one of the best, if not the very best language school in Prague. The staff makes the transition into a new country very comfortable and easy. Each class becomes its own little community for a few weeks as you discover the city together, but long lasting friendship are a very common result! Past graduates are constantly introducing themselves and offering to take the new students out for a welcome drink. The community is what makes the Language House so amazing.
I also think the Language House has you teach more hours to actual czech students than any other school in prague (I think the most, if not tied with another school). This is very crucial because you learn a lot from this teaching and it really prepares you.
I was overall extremely satisfied with my program, as well as the support I received afterwards.

This course was well organized, we really learned the material and we had a lot of fun in the process. The Language House makes the transition into Prague very easy, and graduates come out with the necessary skills and knowledge to find a good job. In addition to this, they have a network of friends and resources for the rest of their time in the city. The staff is excellent, and they work hard to see that the students are enjoying themselves and getting the most the can from the program. I highly recommend this course!

When out of the blue I decided to quit my stable life in the US and move to Prague in order to be with my Czech boyfriend, I didn’t really think about the job issue that much. Having a BA in Business and a good background in the area, plus the knowledge of English, I thought it would be just a matter of days for me to be working for a good company.
As time passed by, I realized that without speaking the language my chances of succeeding were very much reduced, and once my savings were going downhill, it was time for some changes.
Language Schools in Prague are like dentist offices in Brazil, they are everywhere, and you can always find one at the nearest corner, which at the time meant an opportunity for getting back to the job market, also avoiding the uncomfortable situation of being penniless. So, why not to take up the challenge? – I thought.
But just the fact that I could speak English didn’t give me enough confidence to call myself an English teacher, so I went for a 4-week-TEFL-course atThe Language House to get certified, which was extremely intense, yet oddly enjoyable. Chris (the owner) is an amazing teacher, I really had a blast! And for my surprise, it wasn’t a big deal to find a placement, considering the fact I am not a native-speaker and hold no EU passport. Out of eleven people, ten of them native-speakers, I was the second one to be hired, and the course wasn’t even over!
The beginning was quite hard, taking into consideration that in spite of the theory, all I knew about Teaching English as a Second Language could be written in the front side of a business card, and I myself had a lot to study and improve, especially vocabulary and my own pronunciation, exactly for not being a native speaker.
I believe the school changed its faciilities (for better!) since I finish the course (Dec/06), so the only thing downside has probably been fixed!
A year went by and during this time I went through a whole range of experiences, from the high peaks to the low trough, but without the course and the experience I gained from that, it would certainly have been much different!
