Rebecca McIntosh

Specializations: English for Young Learners, Pronunciation, Conversation Skills

Hi, I’m Rebecca!
I am originally from the beautiful mountains of Asheville, North Carolina.
I obtained a bachelor’s degree from Appalachian State University with a degree in Communication Disorders (Dual degree in Speech Therapy and Audiology).
I have years of experience with working with children and have had various jobs with English language teaching.
Due to my experiences working with children, I decided to take a leap and move abroad!
Though I can teach all ages and levels, I specialize in pronunciation, conversational skills, reading, writing and have many years of experience with young learners.
When I am not teaching, I enjoy traveling, hiking and exploring new places around Prague!

Nik Thorell

Specializations: Business English, English for Engineers

Hi, I’m Nik!
I'm a native English speaker with a U.S. accent.
I was born in the mountains and feel at home whenever the conversation is about nature or the environment.
I have a lot of experience in potato farming, but also worked for a short time at NASA, so if you have seen "The Martian", then just imagine that I am Matt Damon.
Although I don't watch a lot of sports on TV, I love any outdoor activity and love hearing about your adventures!
I was an engineer, I am a teacher, and I will be excited to meet you!

Stephanie Cohen, Founder & Head Teacher

Specializations: Interview Preparation, Pronunciation, Public Speaking,

Medical English

Hi, I’m Stephanie, the founder and head teacher of Studio English.
I was born in New York and grew up just outside of Washington DC.
Age 7: My love for acting and performing started early, but there was always that worry whether I’d ever have a “real job”.
2007–2012: I studied Acting and Theater at University, spending 3 years at Pace University in NYC and one and a half years at George Mason University in Northern Virginia. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts.
2011-2016: After graduating, I started working for Apple Retail (yes, that Apple!) in sales. Over the course of 5 years, I made my way from sales to customer trainer, then in-store employee trainer, market-wide employee trainer, and finally, assistant manager. (It seems I’ve always been teaching in one form or another!)
09/2015: After five years of working and living in the same area, I was ready for a change. I visited a friend who was living in Prague in the fall of 2015 and immediately fell in love with the city.
05/2016: Fast-forward six months, and my dog and I were boarding a one-way flight to the Czech Republic.
06/2016: I got my teaching certificate from The Language House in Prague and started teaching immediately. I spent the first year cutting my teeth as a teacher, teaching various age groups, English levels, and specialized courses (like Medical English, Business English, and Exam Preparation).
05/2017: I started Studio English in Vinohrady. I wanted to create a casual, fun atmosphere for learning English, while also using my background in the arts and technology to help students achieve their goals. I love my students and I love being able to help enrich their lives through the English language. I am living the dream – waking up excited to go to work every day and helping people, while having an amazing time doing it!
