TEFL Jobs in the Czech Republic
Prague and the Czech Republic are renowned haunts of TEFL teachers from all over the Anglophonic world. Many teachers dream of going to Prague a city with architecture and history a thousand years old, a city associated with the significant personalities and history of the Czech state, a city whose beauty has amazed its visitors since the Middle Ages. Prague is a magical, golden city of cobbled streets and a hundred spires, but, most importantly, a city that is always awe-inspiring and original. However, outside Prague, the rest of the country is a delight also with some wonderful teaching opportunities.
To teach English in the Czech Republic you only need a TEFL Certificate, a positive and pro-active attitude and as long as you're TEFL qualified, a university degree is not a condition. We are actively recruiting for these positions and positions are available all year round. Contracts are for one year.
