Educator, Native Speaker

I arrived from the United States, to pursue a career teaching English in Prague. I obtained my TEFL and Young Learner’s certification to teach, and I am so excited to be working with children. While working on my Master’s Degree in Nutrition at the University of Arizona, I spent several years working with children in the community, creating curriculums focused on health and wellness. It was very rewarding to teach children, and watch them grow, which is why I am very excited to join Motyl Kindergarten, where I can teach in a classroom setting. I believe learning should be fun and engaging, in a warm and supportive environment, that allows a child to be free with expression. It is important to allow children to grow as individuals while recognizing their varied needs along the way. In my free time I love to cook, bike, garden, travel, and anything involving nature.

Piano/keyboard teacher

Hi, my name is Jan, I teach piano/keyboards.

I studied music and drama at the Prague Conservatory (2009-2015) under the guidance of Jan Novotný and Jaromíra Mílova. I was a student of Aneta Majerová on the piano. I stopped playing the piano in the third grade, but I stuck with it until the 5th grade.

  • My musical role models include Hans Zimmer, John Williams, Phil Collins, ABBA, James Horner, Queen.
  • I officially work at the Legerova Kindergarten as a teacher and lecturer in music education. However, I like to continue doing private lessons after work.
  • I have been offering private lessons since 2011.
  • In my free time, I like to swim, relax, and occasionally compose melodies.
  • My goal in private lessons is not to show the student the instrument in the light of obligation, but in the light of fun and relaxation that playing the instrument can offer him. I look forward to meeting and new experiences.
