“Working with children has always been my true passion. I believe it is a privilege to be part of their growth and development. I think children need a considerate, peaceful and sensible environment to achieve their full potential. I always look forward to creating a fun and engaging learning environment that develops trust and self-confidence.”
Jessica Larson
Teacher, native English speaker
Education: high school
In Prague since 2016
“I come from a small town in Idaho, USA where my love for teaching children began. When I was 26 I decided to travel and wanted to meet new people, cultures and places. Traveling taught me how to attract children’s attention and taught me patience. I also believe in a calm and positive attitude and creating a safety environment for learning. I enjoy working with children and I like to encourage them to try new things, to be creative. My goal is to bring plenty of fun, joy and creativity to our kindergarten.”
Shira Roth

“I grew up on the Eastern Colorado plains and spent most of my adult life living in Denver. My passion for teaching began at a young age when I assisted my dance coach in the younger childrens’ tumbling classes. As the oldest of four, I was responsible for looking after my younger siblings growing up and many other children in our neighborhood. Living in Denver, I was heavily involved in the creative community regarding both visual and performing arts. I instructed creative workshops as a guest teacher for children at local schools. I’ve also taught music and dance to children of all ages at the Cleo Parker Robinson Summer Dance institute. I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Communication Design from Metropolitan State University of Denver. Upon arriving in Prague, I completed 120 hours of TEFL training at the internationally accredited Language House. I find working with children extremely rewarding. It fills my heart with gratitude to watch them develop and grow. I love teaching young children because it requires so much love, patience, and kindness. I believe that nurturing artistic creativity is a crucial part of a child’s development. “
