What our teachers say about us:
 

I arrived in Brno January 2023. I've learnt a lot in these two months. The teacher development sessions on Fridays are a great opportunity to improve our teaching skills. The team is welcoming and has helped me not only concerning pedagogical issues but also with general situations, such as finding a flat to rent, opening a bank account, etc. At ILC Brno, I got the chance to teach different levels and ages and I have autonomy to plan my lessons and use my creativity to the fullest. Here, your experience and effort are acknowledged: I feel honored that I was invited to deliver some workshops to my colleagues in ILC Brno and ILC Torún. I highly recommend any teacher who wants to grow professionally and personally to join our team.
