How It Works
How An Online Lesson Works
Same teacher, same materials, same system as in person - just on your screen.
A link in your calendar
After your trial you pick a weekly time. Every lesson is a Google Meet event in your calendar with the link inside - nothing to install, nothing to remember.
Your mistakes, typed out live
As you speak, Jacob types your mistakes and the corrected version into a shared Google Doc. You watch them appear and fix them on the spot - and the doc is yours to keep.
The leaflet on screen
New grammar comes from Jacob's own summary leaflets, shared on screen during the lesson and included in your package.
Revise in the app between lessons
Every word from the lesson goes into the app, so your revision is on your phone wherever you are.
All you need is a laptop or tablet with a camera and decent wifi. Google Meet runs in the browser.
Our Students Say Our Courses

“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.”

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.
How do online classes work?
Our online classes take place on Google Meet. After buying a package and choosing a lesson time you will receive a weekly calendar event which contains the link to the lesson - there's nothing for you to do as the event will show up in your calendar automatically! We also put the link to the Google Doc for your lesson notes in the same event!
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.
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.
What do I need for online lessons?
A laptop or tablet with a camera and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Google Meet runs in your browser, so there's nothing to install - the link is in the calendar event we send you.
I'm not in the Czech Republic - can I still have lessons?
Yes - online lessons work from anywhere. Lessons are scheduled in Prague time (CET/CEST); tell us where you are and we'll find a time that suits us both.
Do I get notes after the lesson?
Yes. Every lesson has its own Google Doc where Jacob types your mistakes and their corrections as you speak. It's shared with you, so you can look back over it any time - and together with the app it becomes your revision material.
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.
