Anna
Anna is the founder and head teacher of Everyday Czech. She has been teaching Czech to foreigners since 2012 and she still enjoys it very much. She is delighted by daily interaction with foreigners and helping them to immerse into Czech culture. With her husband, she spent a year in Vietnam which, besides other things, helped her to understand students who are trying to learn an extremely difficult language and immersing themselves into a completely different culture. Unlike most of her students, Anna gave up learning Vietnamese after only one month, but the experience was eye-opening. Since then, she makes her lessons even more interactive and playful with the focus on conversation and practical usage.
At this moment Anna is enjoying being a mom to her little daughter, thus she established a group of very talented, patient and entertaining teachers who continue to spread the founding mission of Everyday Czech.
Brett
As the Director of Business Communications, Brett strives to facilitate a personal touch with each and every student and Corporate partner alike. Maintaining an open-minded outlook on ways to help improve the student experience gives him motivation to continue in his role. Being a small fish in a big pond of mega schools here in Prague, he sets out to have the edge over the rest through his willingness to listen to his students feedback and cooperate with them to incorporate helpful and worthy improvements in methodology and new ways to deliver exciting materials.
Brett’s also a native English teacher, and has taught at various levels including private schools, Universities, and language schools. He enjoys ushering his students along their language journey, and thrives in interactive situations. Seeing his students realise that ‘Ah-ha’ light-bulb moment as they learn and understand a new language point makes all their collective work worthwhile.

She likes meeting people from other countries and getting to know their languages and customs – it is no surprise that her passion is travelling. Terezie was fortunate enough to connect these two interests of hers when she spent half a year in Australia to broaden horizons in her studies. She is always happy to meet people who speak Czech and she enjoye helping them to improve their skills. Apart from that she adores animals, her favourite free-time activity is horse riding.

Eliška is fascinated by languages and apart from French and Portuguese, she’s also studying English, Spanish and Latin. So she knows what it takes to learn a new language. Therefore she decided to start teaching Czech, her mother tongue, and experience the process from a different point of view. Besides teaching and learning, she loves literature, music and good coffee.
Lenka
Languages have always been a hobby for Lenka, although she took a different direction in her studies and studied architecture at the Brno University of Technology(CR) and Contemporary dance in the Irish World Academy in Limerick (Ireland). She is fascinated by the phenomenon that with each new language acquired, a new understanding of the culture, psychology and behaviour of the people who speak it opens up. For this reason, she is excited to be part of a team of Czech language teachers and to help her students to do the same – so that they can approach this understanding of the Czech language and culture and feel a little more at home here!

Lenka
Lenka moved to Prague from Moravia to study International Business at the University of Economics. Soon after starting her course she realized that economics was not the way to go and thanks to her interest in languages and her first experiences teaching she changed her field of study to Czech and English language at Charles University. Teaching Czech combines several of her favourite things – getting to know new people, the English language and educating foreigners about Czech culture. An important part of her life is her annual summer job as an entertainer in Italy. Working in international teams of young creative people has enabled her to make great friends all over Europe. She loves ballet, Italy, sushi, travelling, reading, the theatre, and movies, amongst many other interests.

Kristýna
I am from Jihlava, a city on the very border of Bohemia and Moravia, and I am still fascinated by how much Czech language differs even between individual regions. I moved to Prague to study. First I studied Czech and music education at PedF UK, my main field was playing the violin, which I have been doing for almost twenty years. Now I have decided to add another field to it, and in my second year I am studying psychology at the same faculty. In addition to Czech language courses, I work as a care taker in a children’s group, where I am responsible for children as young as one. I apply all my experience in the preparation of lessons, for example, I like to use Czech songs in teaching. When I have a moment for myself, I like to practice yoga or have a nice evening with an interesting book. I also like to play music with my father and other friends who are musicians in the evening by the campfire or in the local pub.
