English lessons with Stephen
Who are the lessons for?
The lessons are for businesses, organisations, and individuals who want a personalised approach.
My students have a range of levels and goals, from complete beginner to very advanced.
Lessons take place mostly in-person, but online is an option. Some students take part in a group class in the office, others have one-on-one individual lessons.
You might have a specific need, like a professional goal or to excel in a specific area of English.
Or you might wish to generally improve your English in a way suited to you and your interests.
I provide bespoke lessons
What do I offer?
I care about the progress and needs of my students and want lessons to be enjoyable and engaging.
Each lesson is designed to the specific student(s). I am specialised at creating bespoke English lessons and courses according to individual needs.
I speak Czech and German and continue to develop ways to effectively describe and teach complex aspects of the English language. So students do not need to be worried about not understanding.
With a background in international business, diplomacy and the creative arts, I can teach students how to use English in different contexts and for specific purposes.

more about Stephen
I am a creative arts professional and teacher, with a background in international business and foreign relations. At college I studied English language and literature and at age 18 had my first teaching experience, volunteering as an English teacher for young adults in Prague.
After studying Czech as part of my degree at University College London, I took part in the EU's Comenius project through the British Council as an English language assistant. Since then I have spent the last 10 years working in senior positions in Prague, including for a foreign embassy, chamber of commerce, and global communications agency.
I have enjoyed working in a range of different sectors with all kinds of people. I currently focus my professional activities on public speaking, content creation, teaching, international business, and music. I love good coffee and tea, and enjoy ballroom dancing and snowboarding.
