English Classes for Bilingual and High-Level English Speakers
Taught by qualified, native English-speaking primary school teachers. We help children read, write, discuss and think in English through themed, project-based lessons they enjoy.

What we do
Most after-school programmes teach English as a foreign language. That’s not what your child needs. We teach subjects — reading, writing, science, history and geography — in English, through hands-on projects. Our lessons follow the British and international curriculum but are designed for children who already have a strong command of English..
- Qualified teachers — our classes are taught by experienced, professional native English-speaking primary school teachers, not just EFL tutors.
- English literacy and communication — children learn to read and write in English, listen carefully, and express themselves clearly. We build critical thinking, imagination and confidence.
- Project-based learning — science, history, geography and other subjects are taught through hands-on projects that spark curiosity, research and presentation skills.
Our team
Jon
Jon is a UK-qualified primary school teacher with a DFEE teaching number and British Council registration. He has lived in Prague for nearly twenty years and is raising his half-Czech family here. He founded Two Hour School because he couldn’t find the right balance between Czech and international education for his two sons.
Ben
Ben has taught English for over twenty years across Moscow, the United States and Prague. He is raising bilingual children who attend Czech school and speak English and French at home. He believes in teaching people things in English rather than just teaching English, keeping curiosity front and centre while building reading, writing and critical-thinking skills.
