Hello! I have been teaching English in the Czech Republic for over seven years to all ages. I'm an easy going teacher invested in helping to build your confidence and English skills.
I have experience teaching in museums, classrooms, schools, and online. I spent two years as a kindergarten teacher before I transitioned to teaching school children online. Now I enjoy teaching both children and adults on italki!
I am curious about learning many things which makes me a great conversationalist. If there is a specific topic that you would like to practice speaking about in English, I am the perfect person to practice with. I personally enjoy art, literature, philosophy, travel, sports etc!

Me as a Teacher
I like to describe myself as a fun, inviting, and encouraging teacher. I understand that learning a new language can be scary and uncomfortable. I like to keep my classroom structured, but lighthearted. I want you to make progress through planned lessons, but I don't want my lessons to feel like you're sitting in a strict monotonous classroom.
Most importantly, I want to work with you on accessing and implementing your goals.
If you have any questions or concerns about pricing or lessons in general, please write to me. I actively offer lessons at a discount to best accommodate your needs.
I look forward to learning with you in the future! :)
My lessons & teaching style
Each lesson is tailored to the student's needs. I always aspire to give each student the most amount of practice and speaking time as possible. I believe the teacher should not spend more time speaking than the student.
I like to utilize exciting and interesting activities in order to keep students learning and engaged. No topic is off limits with me :)
Each lesson will be made for the student. Once we have our first call, I will put together a plan based on your weaknesses and your English learning goals. As we continue to learn together, I will continue to add and adjust your curriculum based on our progress.

I normally feel nervous whenever I try to speak English, but Briana provides me with a very friendly atmosphere. She's very patient and motivates me a lot. I highly recommend her classes!

One of the best English teachers I've ever met. Briana is a very open, positive person. There is no need to stress before classes, I can speak English spontaneously on various topics in a friendly atmosphere. I recommend these lessons to anyone who understands English but is still afraid to speak like I was before :)
