Adéla was born in Prague where she studied Italian and Portuguese Philology. During her studies, she spent a year in Portugal where she fell in love with pastel de nata and traditional Portuguese espresso. Then, with her own family, Adéla lived in Ho Chi Minh City enjoying fresh cut coconut and hectic Asian city life. Her passion for languages led Adéla to teach her mother tongue to foreigners. Knowing Czech is not the easiest language, she is always very patient. She loves to laugh together with her students and their every little step and success make her genuinely happy. Apart from languages, Adéla also draws, cooks and loves long walks in nature.

Aneta studied Business English in Zlin, but after a year and a half, she realized that her dream was completely different and decided to make it come true. She spent one year in Britain, where she worked as an au pair and studied English. Travelling became one of her passions, so she left abroad again - this time to Houston, Texas, for 13 months and then New Zealand for 10 months. In the meantime, she also worked as an English tutor in CZ language school. Aneta loves nature, animals, ocean, discovering new places, foreign cultures and cuisine as well as meeting new people along the way.

Mari co-founded Czech Courses in 2011 together with her husband Radim. After their first baby (nowadays a grown-up teenager), they had another four kids. If she is not running around one of the three branches in Vinohrady, Letná or Brno, she likes running or walking in a forest to clear her head. She is also a passionate yogi and loves preparing evening meals for her big family. Mari studied journalism and media at FSV UK and film production at FAMU, and she hopes that one day she will have time to sit down and watch all the movies she ever wanted in peace and quiet :-) Mari herself was a foreigner for two years in Newbury, UK, and one year in Grenoble, France, and she remembers very well what and who made her feel comfortable on those partly uncomfortable days. That is why she created Czech Courses, a space where all expats in Prague and Brno can feel welcome and cozy in a good and supportive atmosphere.  

Radim co-founded Czech Courses in 2011. His focus is on school development school & marketing. In previous years, Radim worked in the corporate world as an internal communications manager, a marketing specialist for Czech public broadcasters, and as an editor for an international news agency. Radim is a graduate of Charles University, where he studied Media and Journalism before spending almost two years in Britain. Besides his family, communication and Czech, his greatest passion is music, especially jazz, as he enjoys playing the trumpet with both modern big bands and little jazz combos.
