Eliška

I started taking Czech lessons from Eliška about five years ago (I was an absolute beginner at the time), and this was our last lesson: Eliška is taking a break from Italki (she's about to have a baby), and I have basically reached my goal for Czech. I recently passed CCE-C1 (with 89.4%, no less), and out there in the real world, I feel like a competent enough Czech speaker (at a minimum, Czechs - pretty much all of them - have finally stopped switching to English with me). Eliška helped enormously. She can explain the nuances of the Czech language, and she is really good at keeping the conversation going. The latter becomes very important once you reach even just A2/B1 level, and it's obviously hugely important if you're going to practice conversation with the same person for hundreds of hours on your way to a fairly high level of proficiency. I was lucky to have her for a teacher, and I strongly recommend her to any serious Czech learners, as soon as her baby lets her come back! ;-)

Eliška was an excellent teacher for this lesson: professional, clear, knowledgable, helpful. I've had a lot of language teachers over the last year or so, and just from a half-an-hour trial lesson it was clear that she was up there as one of the best. Will be scheduling another class.

A wonderful lesson with Eliška! We discussed haircuts, exercise and skincare regimes 🧖‍♀️

Lessons with Eliška are great. She has great energy that drives the conversation and provided good discussion topics on issues I am interested in. She also helps me with discerning the different levels of language as we take professional reading material but then look to speaking about it which is really important for intermediate students of languages in my opinion! Thank you!

Lekce s Eliškou je opravdu vynikající. Po hodině práce s ní cítím skutečný pokrok ve znalosti českého jazyka. A není to snadné. Po setkání se cítím uvolněnější v konverzaci, používám různé fráze a věty.

Another great lesson with Eliška! We discussed family genealogy and my current travel plans.
