Hello! I’m Linda,

I teach adults and teens aged 16 and over. My students speak both Slavic and non-Slavic languages, and their levels range from complete beginner (A0) to upper-intermediate (B2).

Some of my students live in the Czech Republic, but thanks to my international network, many of them are based in other countries, including outside Europe.

I teach Czech as a foreign language from A0 to B2. I put a lot of effort into correct pronunciation and reducing your accent.

Some students come with a clear goal — for example, passing the A2 exam required for permanent residence in the Czech Republic. Others simply enjoy learning the language, speaking actively or diving deeper into grammar.

In my experience, what most students need is simply to speak. That’s why I use a communicative teaching style: we describe pictures, talk about your weekend or discuss your plans. Corrections and explanations come afterwards.

I’m a patient trainer and I use as much Czech as possible, though we can switch to English, Russian or even Italian when needed.

I’ll encourage you to keep notes — on paper or in a document — with everything new you learn. It may sound funny, but my favourite motto is “Fake it till you make it.” Even if you can’t remember a word right now, you’ll know exactly where to find it in your notes.

As a child, I kept telling everyone I would NEVER become a teacher. But things change.

I still don’t really call myself a “teacher” — at least not in the traditional sense. I don’t teach children who have to attend classes. I teach adults who learn because they want to, because they enjoy it and because it matters to them.

I teach because I want to share what I know with people who really need it: people living their everyday lives in a foreign country, surrounded by the unfamiliar, doing their best to adapt and communicate.

It’s a bit of a lottery! Sometimes I’m in my hometown near the Orlické Mountains, sometimes in Brno, and sometimes abroad — usually somewhere by the sea. So I’m no longer surprised when a student asks where I am today.

I started my teaching career at TLC Training & Languages in Brno, and a year later I also began working with Learnlight. Alongside that, I teach my own students, with sessions tailored to each person’s needs.

All my sessions take place on Google Meet.

I’ve been teaching since 2022. I started with in-person sessions, but soon realised online teaching suits me better, so I moved fully online.

My timeslots are: 9 – 12, 14 – 17 and 18 – 20 CET
