Teach English in Prague, Czechia
The heart of the Czech ESL market and expat life.
Prague has almost all of the country's ESL demand, from language chains to corporate clients. Vinohrady and Zizkov are popular teacher neighborhoods. Competition is real, so credentials matter.
Neighborhoods
Vinohrady for the established teacher neighbourhood, leafy and central. Žižkov for cheaper rent and the best bar density in the city. Holešovice for the newer, quieter option. Karlín for the business district and most corporate clients.
Cost of living
Roughly 18,000 to 30,000 CZK a month for a one-bedroom, and rising faster than teaching pay has. Tourist-let pressure on the centre is real, so most teachers live one tram ring out.
Best for
Teachers who want a storybook European capital with a deep expat network.
Czechia at a glance
Salary: Language schools: 25,000 to 40,000 CZK per month. Freelance and corporate rates: 350 to 600 CZK per hour. Prague rent is the main expense; saving is modest, and most teachers come for the lifestyle.
Visa: EU and UK-settled citizens work freely. Non-EU teachers most often set up a zivno (zivnostensky list) trade license and work as freelancers, which is the standard route into the Prague market. A degree and CELTA/TEFL make you far more employable.
