Choosing a TEFL destination can be a pretty overwhelming experience. So, to make it less difficult for you, we’ve combined a convenient list that explains why you teach English in the Czech Republic…
You may not know it, however, the Czech Republic is home to many foreign corporations such as Skoda, Hyundai and Continental. And because English is the foreign language of business, you are now expected to speak English to get a well-paid job. For this reason, there has been an increase in the call for English teachers, that’s where you come in!
With a bachelor’s degree and an accredited TEFL certificate, you will be eligible to teach English in this captivating Central European country. Do you think that might be right for you? You will need to place TEFL jobs in public schools, summer schools, and personal language centers throughout the Republic.
But that doesn’t stop there …
The rate of living in the Czech Republic is relatively low compared to other European countries, yes, please! Although housing can be expensive, employers will include housing in their coaching contract or establish cheap shared housing near their school. Not only is it a fantastic way to meet other people, but you can also save some of your hard-earned money: winner!
The average salary in the Czech Republic ranges from $850 to $1300 depending on the month, but daily life is still cheap. In Prague, the average value of a meal (for one) is $6, a cappuccino is $2.50 and a worthwhile ticket for a movie is only $8. In addition, you can get a one-way ticket to the metro, bus or tram worth a minimum of USD 1.
If that doesn’t convince you, we don’t know what will!
Prague, pilsners and party: 3 elements to start your new life.
There are many opportunities to meet new people in the Czech Republic, especially in the capital. Prague has one of the most productive expat communities in Central Europe with visitors from all over the world! With a melting pot of nationalities and cultures, it is very easy to integrate into such a varied city. Whether it’s a pint or a party, you’ll soon meet captivating locals or fellow travelers. What more can you ask for?

Infused with thousands of years of history, these university cities offer a more comfortable technique for life. With a slightly smaller expat community, but strong ties to the foreigner (especially the ERASMUS plus curriculum), feel at home in no time. All you have to do is release your inner social fly and create lasting memories!
The Czech Republic has been voted one of the 20 happiest countries in the world to live in 2020 and we are surprised!
