Prague
The capital of the Czech Republic, Prague, is a standout destination where most of our teachers teach. Its rich history, vibrant culture, and dynamic atmosphere make it an exceptional place to live and work. Prague boasts a broad expat community, offering a welcoming environment and diverse cultural experiences for people from all over the world.
So what can you find in this beautiful city? Here are some of the sights.
How satisfied are our teachers?
There are several best things about EDUA Group. For me, it's the ability to branch out, get involved, and develop as a teacher. If you put in some time, express interest, and do great work, there's no reason you can't get involved in a new way. From Key Teachers and Methodologists to Log Book team and community events, there are several areas to grow into and mold your own work. To build on that, another great aspect of EDUA Group is the people. The people working at EDUA are willing to go above and beyond in helping you with whatever you need, be it sourcebook selection, course advice, or otherwise!
What I like most about EDUA Group is the ability for development within the company. While the support of the senior teachers and administration is spectacular, not many English centers provide opportunities for their teachers to do more than "just teach". At EDUA you can develop and host workshops for teachers, lead topical meet-ups, write for the monthly magazine, assist with English camps, and even lead demo lessons to prospective clients. I love when I get a chance to take a break from teaching and explore other passions; writing articles for the monthly magazine is a way to explore my creative outlet while still being part of the teaching community. Of course, I also love the monthly social events. As the community manager, I love being able to put together events where new teachers and old teachers bond and make connections. It really makes working at EDUA Group feel like a family.
I have represented EDUA Group for over two years and in that time have been very involved in my role as a professional language teacher. During this time I have met some interesting students through the school, which is one aspect I appreciate about working with them. Furthermore, there are a gamut of workshops, social events and responsibilities on offer, besides simply 'being in the classroom'. I was also impressed at how fast EDUA responded to the pandemic, giving me an ample amount of classes online.
My involvement as a native language teacher goes beyond administering classes and I appreciate the responsibilities which have been given to me since working with them. Of late, I have helped to lead an online workshop for over 100 teachers, developed materials for our S.E.N programme and worked with students towards their Cambridge examinations. In the history of my teaching career, I'm hard pushed to think of such a varied post than that of with EDUA Group.
As someone who originally worked for a very small language school, coming to EDUA Group was intimidating at first with all of the mandatory trainings and people to remember. However, those are exactly the things that make this a fantastic community to be a part of. I receive an immense amount of support from Senior Teachers, Teachers’ Coordinators, and Directors of Studies. What’s more, those mandatory trainings in addition to voluntary trainings continue to help me hone my skills in ways that are not possible when teaching privately or with a small school with fewer resources. Last but not least, after spending the better part of a year in lockdown, it is nice to come to a workplace that organizes a variety of social events to help this enormous school feel more like a tight-knit community. For us foreigners who are so far from our families and roots, that makes a world of difference.
