Description: Get your TEFL certification and get a great job in the beautiful city of Prague! Our free job placement service for Czech Republic is included in our 100-hour TEFL course. After staying in a youth hostel on arrival in Prague you will be given help finding affordable accommodation. Most lessons are based at the school, but you may occasionally be required to commute around the city. If this is the case you will be paid extra and your travel costs will be reimbursed. Czech lessons at the school are provided but these are optional. Please note after initial interview; you will need to submit a recorded demo lesson.

What you can expect teaching in the Czech Republic? Quite a bit:

Salary: For good teachers, pay per hour can increase and there could be the opportunity to work up to 35 hours per week. Tax of 15%-25% will be payable locally, dependent on earnings.

Accommodation: When you first arrive in Prague you will stay in a youth hostel near to the city center and the school. You will then be assisted in finding rental accommodation for the remainder of your stay.

Arrival: You will be met at Prague Airport (PRG) and taken to your accommodation. The next day you will be taken on an orientation tour of the city centre. You will also be taken to the school within your first couple of days, introduced to your tutor who will help you throughout your stay and introduced to the teaching methods of the school. You will then spend 1-3 days training before starting classes.

Locations: The school is located in the heart of Prague in the old historical centre. However, you may also be required to teach individuals or groups in other locations which could be anywhere in Prague. If you need to commute in this way, extra money will be paid and the cost of transportation will be reimbursed.

Departure dates: Departures are available every month although the majority of placements are available in September.

Free courses: Czech lessons are provided at the school. Course attendance is voluntary so you can skip or quit classes whenever you want.
