What my clients say

Hana is not a typical teacher that just makes you learn a topic from a textbook. She is very creative and uses different methods for different students. We hired her when we just arrived in Czech Republic, and she helped us break the language barrier and start speaking in less than 6 months. She also helped our 12 year old son to master Czech grammar at school. We sincerely recommend her to anyone who wants to learn Czech from zero, or to improve their skills.

Sasha Maximova, JetBrains, Russia

I’m a Polish linguist with PhD degree, I’ve been learning four languages with a lot of lectors, but if I’m to think about my idol of teaching foreign languages – there is noone like Hanka. Her professionalism is a combination of all: knowledge, involvement, creativity and wonderful, open nature, which makes her constant grammar questions absolutly easy to bear:) I wish I hadn’t stopped my classes, but just a year of them let me feel like a native here in Prague.

Kasia Sitkowska, Poland

I highly recommend Ms. Kalivodova as a Czech teacher – I have been studying Czech with her for over two years, and I feel that my grasp of Czech has dramatically improved. She is well-organized and prepared, and she makes the most of the scheduled time in lectures, with a great mix of grammar, vocabulary, and conversation. I have consistently seen immediate applications in Czech life, thanks to my lessons with her.
