O nás

Damien was born in Manchester, England, and loves to travel. So far he has visited more than 30 countries and lived and worked in five. He has been teaching English since 2019, and loves to interact with children as their honesty helps him view the world in a better way.

He also does stand up comedy, and is without doubt the funniest person living in his house, and he likes to incorporate comedy into his teaching where possible, as laughter always makes people feel better!

Veronika is an English and German teacher with a natural feel for communication. She has experience teaching both children and adults, from one-to-one lessons to group classes at primary schools. She grew up in the US, Germany, and Japan, so she can answer a wide variety of questions the students might have!

Her friendly and adaptable approach helps learners feel comfortable and motivated to use the language in real-life situations.

Michelle has 20 years of experience in education, leadership, curriculum development, outdoor/experiential education and creative coaching for clarity, growth, and alignment. She enjoys exploring and teaching all ages and subjects, with a focus on wellness, efficiency and money.

Vince is from Austin, Texas, and has been teaching English in Prague since 2023. He especially enjoys working with students in the 6th–9th grade range, where lessons can be active, creative, and a bit unpredictable in the best way. His teaching style focuses on helping students actually use English—building confidence through speaking, interaction, and real-world communication rather than memorization. Before teaching, Vince worked in engineering, healthcare, and science, which gives him a practical approach and plenty of real-life context to bring into the classroom. He aims to make lessons engaging, supportive, and just challenging enough to keep students moving forward. In his free time, Vince enjoys cooking, reading about history, and anything involving dogs.
