Study Czech and other 18 languages in the oldest private language school in Pilsen

What you need to know

• Can I take part in your public courses if I don’t speak Czech?

  All public language courses (except conversational courses taught by native speakers) are conducted with Czech as the base language.
  To join these courses, you should have at least some knowledge of Czech (A2 minimum). If that applies to you, please visit the Czech version of our website and choose your preferred course.

  If you don't speak Czech, private lessons are the right choice for you.

• What are the advantages of private lessons?

  The biggest benefit compared to a regular public course is that all aspects of the lessons can be tailored to your preferences. Private lessons are also much more intensive and therefore more effective than group lessons. You choose the lesson schedule, pace, and focus.

• How much do private lessons cost?

  There’s no simple answer, as the price depends on many factors: location, lesson frequency, lesson length, number of students, teacher type (Czech vs. native speaker), language (English is cheaper than, say, Greek), etc. We’ll be happy to calculate the exact price for you. Just fill out the request form below and describe what you're looking for. We need the following details:

  Do you prefer in-person or online lessons?
  Would you like 60 or 90-minute lessons?
  How many times per week?
  What is your current level?
  Do you need general language instruction or a specific focus?
  What are your goals and expectations?
  What days and times are you available? (The more options, the better.)
  To give you a rough idea of pricing, here’s an example:

  Language: Czech for foreigners
  Lesson length: 60 min
  Frequency: once a week
  Format: online
  Focus: general language

  Price: 620 CZK (one-on-one) or 660 CZK (two students = 330 CZK per person)

  Students sometimes express surprise at the price, thinking it’s too high. But keep in mind that a teacher’s job includes not only the actual lesson time, but also lesson preparation and (for in-person classes) travel. Compared to the hourly rate of a lawyer (2,000–5,000 CZK), a car mechanic (800–1,500 CZK), or a washing machine repairman (1000 CZK + travel), the price is quite low - or at least fair.

• Who will be teaching me?

  At Strejc Language School, all our teachers have university degrees focused on language education and at least 3 years of experience. We choose not only qualified professionals but also people who are friendly, reliable, and have a good sense of humor. If your teacher isn’t the right fit, we can arrange for a change.

• How do private lessons work?

  Lessons are conducted either online (Zoom, Google Meet, etc.) or in person, depending on your preference. Each lesson is tailored to your level, goals, and learning pace.

• Can I try a lesson first?

  Yes, the first lesson is a trial. You only pay if you decide to continue.

• What if I need to cancel a lesson?

  If you can’t attend, please let your teacher know in advance (by email, text, or phone). Lessons canceled less than 24 hours in advance will be charged. Please keep this in mind - it’d be a shame to lose a session!

• How many lessons do I need to pay for?

  The first lesson is a trial - you pay only if you continue. After that, lessons are prepaid in packages of at least 15 sessions. It doesn’t make much sense to pay for fewer if you're serious about learning. Once you finish your package, you can purchase another. After each session, you sign an attendance sheet to track how many lessons you've completed.

• When do lessons take place?

  Lesson times are fully flexible. Let us know which days and times would work for you, and we’ll check with our teachers. Once we’ve found someone available, we’ll contact you to schedule your first session. Lessons can be arranged any day of the week between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. (weekends included).

• Can I choose the content of the lessons?

  Yes! We focus on what you really need - conversation, grammar, specialized vocabulary, exam prep, business communication, etc.

• What’s the ideal lesson length?

  That’s very individual - it depends on how fast you want to progress and how long you can concentrate. Most students prefer 90-minute lessons, which allow enough time to cover material without losing focus. Children usually need shorter lessons (60 or 45 min).
  Ninety-minute sessions are most common for lower levels (A0–B1). For higher levels or conversation-focused lessons, 60 minutes is often sufficient (though it again depends on your goals).

• Where does in-person teaching take place?

  Most often at our school on nám. Republiky 28, which provides the best environment and equipment. But if you prefer, we can also teach at your home, in your office, or in a quiet café in the city center.
