INFORMATION FOR NEW TEACHERS

We're looking for trained, talented, reliable and enthusiastic teachers who are ready for the adventure of helping people to learn - and who are also open to the challenges of learning a lot about themselves.If you are ready for an unforgettable experience; if you're flexible, patient, and friendly; if you like to have fun both on the job and after work; if you are ready to commit to this rewarding profession for a minimum of one year; and if you are ready to help yourself and your students to cross the threshold of new and exciting possibilities, then Threshold Training Associates is the company for you.

Threshold Training Associates is a Czech-owned, language training, consultancy and translation company with registered offices in Prague. We offer language instruction primarily in English, but also in German, Spanish, Russian, French and Czech for foreigners. Most courses are conducted on site in local companies and corporations.

Threshold is known among teachers for its supportive, family atmosphere and a commitment to ongoing teacher support and training. Our aim is to innovate teachers in the development of their unique talents and skills.

Our Teacher Resource Centre is centrally located near the National Museum. The library has an ever expanding number of textbooks, activity books and resource materials. There is also internet and photocopying facilities.

The Directors of Study are always on call to answer teachers' questions and keep them informed of all aspects of teaching, and curriculum. We do regular teacher observations with written feedback and meetings while our open door policy allows the teachers to visit as much or as little as they deem necessary. We also offer Czech lessons to our teachers and help our non-EU teachers to get their visas. Finally, all our teachers can expect a warm welcome any time they come to either our office in Barrandov or to our teacher's resource centre in Mezibranská. We're never too busy to chat, answer questions or help solve problems.

Our starting salary range is competitive with the current climate and is negotiable depending on the type of contract agreed upon as well as the level of training and experience. A teacher with a TEFL certificate, university degree, and previous teaching experience, for example, will receive a higher starting salary than someone who has just finished training.
