Why teach abroad

Change your life — and others' — through teaching abroad.

Bring meaning and fulfilment by developing your leadership, teaching, and organisation skills. Let others be grateful for your contribution, while you grow in ways you never expected.

"I went to Thailand chasing a girl. Seventeen years later, we're married with five kids and we've helped over 3,000 teachers do what I did. Teaching abroad doesn't just change your year — it changes your life."

About Czech Republic

Why Czechia

Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and one of the friendliest teaching markets. You train through our in-person TEFL course, settle into the Czech lifestyle, and step into paid teaching work with the backing of our team.

The teaching market

What teaching in Czechia is really like

Prague has one of the friendliest English teaching markets in Europe. Demand is steady, schools are used to international teachers, and the Zivno trade-license visa gives non-EU teachers a legitimate route into the Czech working world.

Our in-person TEFL course is delivered in Prague, followed by placement support into language schools across the city and beyond. Teachers typically work with adult learners in evening classes or business English clients during the day — sometimes both.

Czech classes are calm, well-organised, and students are serious about learning. It's a very different teaching experience from Thailand or Mexico — less noise, more depth.

Where you'll teach

Cities we place teachers in

Placements happen across Czechia. Here's a taste of the cities our teachers live and work in.

Prague
The training city

One of Europe's most beautiful cities. The Old Town, Charles Bridge, beer gardens, and the best teaching market in the country.

Brno
Second city

Czechia's smaller, more livable second city. Lower costs than Prague and a strong university scene.

Around Europe
Weekend trips

Vienna, Budapest, Berlin, Krakow — Prague is in the middle of them all, often reachable by cheap train.

This could be you in a few months.

Cost of living

What it really costs to live in Czechia

Honest numbers on what teachers spend and what they save. We never share fees on our website — enquire to get the program pricing directly.

Rent
€350–650 / mo

Shared flats in Prague. Outer districts are noticeably cheaper.

Food
€200–350 / mo

Czech food is underrated. Lunch specials are the backbone of every teacher's week.

Transport
€15–20 / mo

Student/teacher monthly passes on Prague's excellent transit are famously cheap.

Save / month
Modest, travel plenty

Prague is a quality-of-life city. Teachers live well and travel constantly — saving isn't the point here.

Life outside the classroom

What life is really like as a teacher in Czechia

Life in Prague slows you down in the best possible way. The architecture, the beer gardens, the winters, the Czech patience with anyone trying to learn the language — it's a city that makes Europe feel old and alive at the same time.

Weekends are for Vienna, Budapest, Krakow, Dresden, or a walk up to Prague Castle at sunrise. The Central European rhythm suits teachers who want depth rather than spectacle. Many stay far longer than they planned.
