“Very satisfied with the summer group course led by Jacob. There are only 3 of us in the group, so everyone gets a chance to speak, the 90 minute lesson goes by like water every week and most importantly it's fun!”
“The best English lessons I've ever had. I enjoyed the lessons, they unlearn past mistakes, the classes are fun and Jacob is a great teacher. I wish I could go more than once a week!”
“What can I say, this best language course I've ever taken. After a few weeks I see improvements in myself that didn't show up after months in other courses. The classes don't bore me either.”

Learn From An Expert
Meet Your Teacher
All our English courses are taught by our founder, Jacob, who has been teaching English to Czechs since 2014 and is great at explaining topics in simple terms for everyday people.
Expert British Teacher
Since 2014, Jacob has taught English to hundreds of Czech people, trained over a hundred teachers, written two English grammar books, founded the best-rated corporate language school in the Czech Republic, and perfected the explanations and examples of how every English topic works differently from Czech.
Speaks Czech
Thanks to having spent the last decade learning Czech to a conversationally fluent level, Jacob knows what it's like to learn a language, is able to teach Czechs of any level, and has a deep understanding of why Czechs make the English mistakes they do - and can fix them ASAP!

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Are trial lessons free?
Every individual and online course starts with a trial lesson. If you have the trial lesson and like the class and decide to buy a package, that trial lesson counts as your first paid lesson from the package. If you don't like the lesson and don't want to buy a package then the trial lesson is free!
How do cancellations work?
Individual Classes
If you are unable to attend your regular lesson time (which is agreed on before paying for the classes), you're very welcome to contact Jacob to see if it's possible to reschedule. While we'll always do our best to help, alternative times can't be guaranteed. If no suitable availability is possible, the lesson will be lost.
Pair Classes
The same as individual classes - if both students aren't able to make the usual time you can try to rearrange the class with Jacob. If no rearrangement is possible the lesson will be lost.
If just one student comes to class the other student simply misses out on the class.
Group Classes
If you miss a group class you simply lose the lesson. We do not offer the option to join another group to make up for the lost lesson.
How does paying for lessons work?
Once you choose a lesson package and agree on a lesson time you will receive an invoice with a QR payment link for the full lesson package. All lesson packages are paid for in full up front.
We do not offer the option to pay in instalments or monthly.
Where do in-person classes take place?
In-person classes take place in our modern office in Žižkov, Prague (right by the Lipanská tram stop, about 10 minutes from Wenceslas Square). Individual lessons can also take place at a pre-arranged place in central Prague (potential extra travel fee for longer travel).
Do you do exam preparation (FCE, CAE etc)?
No. Our courses are based on improving your real-life communication skills as fast as possible. Exams such as FCE and CAE are very specific and studying for them is as much about learning how to answer questions in the way they want as it is about your actual level of English. For exam preparation we recommend you find a teacher or school that specialises in such exams. If you're interested in real-life improvements in lessons that get straight to the point then we recommend learning with us!
Do you also have 90min individual lessons?
Jacob's individual classes are organised into 60min blocks in order to keep simple scheduling, but for special cases we can arrange 90min classes if it works with the schedule. 90min classes are simply 1.5x the cost of 60min classes.
Do you teach children?
No. Our courses are designed for adults and we have no classes for children or plans to teach children in the future.
Do you teach in-company classes too?
We offer in-company classes on a case-by-case basis, with customised prices based on number of students, location and lesson type.
I paid for a package but now I'm going on holiday
If you buy an individual lesson package and then go on holiday we can offer you online lessons while you're on holiday at the same lesson time. If you bought a group package you will lose those lessons.
Do the stated prices include VAT/DPH?
English With Jacob is not a VAT-payer, so the stated prices are the final prices you pay, with no extra taxes or VAT added to the invoice.
Can I get an invoice for the lessons?
Yes - in fact all students receive an invoice for their lessons.
Can I pay for lessons through my company?
Yes, that is fine - just give us the company details to add to the invoice.
Can I pay through benefits points?
Not currently.
How good is Jacob's Czech?
Jacob has been learning Czech for ten years and is often complimented by Czechs on his level. If declension didn't exist his level would be advanced. As declension exists, he makes a lot of declension mistakes but has a practically fluent level for day to day communication.
Not Sure Which Level You're At?
Neither is anyone, and guessing wrong wastes a semester. Send a message and we'll arrange a free call to check your level and point you at the right course.
