I founded it in January of 2000- a new school for a new millenium- because I realized that most language schools in Prague are not really schools at all. They are businesses which sell language courses. Their managers have very little idea what is actually happening in the classrooms, they hire teachers with little regard for their abilities, and they have no consistent curriculum or method for tracking a student's progress.

Watson's School of English changes all that. As the owner, and primary teacher, I am acutely aware of, and responsible for, your progress in the English language.
I have over 5 years of experience teaching English, mostly in Prague but also in Bangkok, Thailand. I have taught pre-schoolers and retirees, business people and students, artists and scientists, complete beginners and those whose English is advanced enough that they could almost pass for native speakers themselves. Of course, I am still a long way from being the perfect teacher, but I'm improving all the time.

When I hire new teachers, I look specifically for people who speak clearly and communicate well. Also, I insist that all of our teachers at least be learning Czech. Teachers who speak only English have no idea of the difficulties in learning a foreign language, and cannot relate to the confusion the student is facing.

If you are a complete beginner who would feel more comfortable with an English teacher whose native language is Czech, we can arrange that, too.

Watson's School of English uses a step-by-step method (see Our Teaching Method) to insure that, even if you change teachers, you will remain firmly on the path to perfection in English.

So, welcome to Watson's School of English! I hope to see you in class.
