Program Reviews

The Language House is an extremely rewarding course which provides you with everything you need to teach English in Prague. The course is challenging but gives you the required skills to be an ESL teacher. The school also plays a pivotal role in helping you making friends before and after the course due to its focus on socialising.

The Language House isn't just a certification course. It's a huge network of hundreds of alumni that are in your same situation giving you guidance along the way. The support you receive is unbelievable. Signing up for The Language House was the best decision I ever made. It changed my life for the better and I owe it all to Chris Westergaard, the director the course. He's built something really special. Join us in Prague!

I came to Prague, Czech Republic knowing no one. I finished the course after one month and had 25 new friends and a massive community of alumni TEFL teachers always willing to help and support me. Chris Westergard, owner of The Language House, does a phenomenal job building an excellent community all while preparing you for exactly what you need to be a successful TEFL teacher.

This course will help you with everything you need to become a qualified teacher. The lovely staff is very hands on, providing you with lots of useful information. Whether that be feedback on your practice lessons, reviewing grammar during a lecture, or simply providing information about the city of Prague itself. Also the alumni network is quite large so there is usually a social gathering or two of some kind with your fellow teachers. If you wish to start a career and life experience of teaching abroad please do so through TLH. It was a wonderful experience for me and I'm sure it will be for you as well!!!

The Language House is a community, you arrive and are immediately welcomed into the fold. You will form deep meaningful connections with your fellow classmates and previous graduates. This is not a program where you put your head down, do the work and move on. Whether or not you are planning to stay in Prague, it doesn't matter, you will have support, advice and make great friends.

Be prepared to work and work hard. It's intense and well worth it. The days are long, they have 12 hours of classroom teaching throughout the course. If you want a program where at the end of it you feel confident standing in front of a class and teaching an effective lesson. This is program for you.

Plus Prague is a beautiful city.

I took TLH's TEFL Certification course in September 2013 and it was hands down one of the best decisions of my life. First off, Prague is an incredible city-- the magic still isn't gone 2+ years later! But The Language House truly provided me with everything I could have wanted from a TEFL course and then some! The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and so willing to help in every way. The owner, Chris Westergaard, is very involved and goes out of his way to make your experience the best possible. From helping with getting a job, to finding housing, to simply making friends in a new city, TLH covers all the bases. However, what I found most special about the course is the huge alumni network of people still living and teaching in Prague. Having that built in community makes all the difference in adjusting to living in a new country. I highly recommend TLH to anyone thinking of moving abroad to teach!!

After taking this course, I truly felt confident and qualified as an English teacher, and was able to take on a full schedule of courses with adult students. The Language House offers a helpful staff with excellent job-placement guidance. I highly recommend this program.

The Language House provides new arrivals in Prague a great base to prepare for a new city. The TEFL course itself is in depth and informative. The amount of practice teaching hours are fantastic! You leave the course with experience teaching a wide range of ability levels.

The Language House from the get-go is ready to help you with anything you need from lesson planning to grammar review to advice about living in Prague. The staff definitely make it enjoyable!

I would recommend The Language House to anyone!

I'm so glad I chose to go to The Language House to get my TEFL certificate. With 12 hours of teaching practice under my belt I was able to teach my first solo lesson with confidence. THL also helped me to find a job, make friends, get my visa and start looking for an apartment. I couldn't have asked for more.

I am currently living and teaching in Prague, thanks to The Language House. I chose The Language House because I knew it was an intensive course that offered more hands on teaching experience than any of the others I found. I had a response to my application immediately and within 24 hours was speaking with a staff member from the course. They were organized, accommodating and supportive every step of the way. Whether it was looking for housing, visa information or seeking employment they have been there 100%. If you are looking for a life change or simply want a one of a kind learning experience I would strongly recommend them.
