TEFL Prague and Abroad

The Language House TEFL offers great in-house visa assistance through our cooperation with Visa Guru. Watch the video below. What does this mean and why is it important? Getting your visa to stay in the Czech Republic can be daunting and confusing. With a lot of TEFL certification courses, new teachers have to use the assistance of outside visa service providers. This means that when you are getting legal, you always have to play tag with these providers. The visa providers are offsite and you rarely ever meet them or see them. Getting the right information and your visa questions answered is tricky and often takes a lot more time. Having an actual face to face with anyone is practically out of the question. With The Language House TEFL, we have our visa assistance onsite. The company we use, Visa Guru, operates at The Language House TEFL and is comprised of Language House TEFL staff. Every day there's someone there to answer all of these confusing questions and offer you ass...

Are you already a qualified teacher with experience and want to teach in Prague? Are you worried about making the move over here without a job lined up,  an apartment, visa help, or friends? The Language House TEFL can help you. I get emails all of the time from teachers that want to teach in Prague, but find it nearly impossible to land a job from abroad. To help with this, I created The Language House TEFL Job and Guidance Package for qualified teachers that want to work in Prague, but find making the move too difficult to do.  This isn't a TEFL certification course, but a package of job assistance and other services, geared at making the transition easy. Myself and The Language House TEFL staff will help you find work, get legal, get housing and make friends in the city via our large graduate community. Prague is an amazing place to live and teach. We'll help you out and get you started.  Check out the link for more information  Language House TEFL Job and Gui...

It's hard to wrap up the experience of The Language House TEFL course. You can have a graduation party and do extra things for all of the graduating students, but I've always felt as if each course ended, and that was it. Based on a some inspiration on from the February 2015 TLH class, I'm going to start making video photo journals of each month. It's a nice thing to end the course and it gives the new teachers something they can take with them. Here's the first one I made for the March 2015 Language House TEFL class.
