About course

We designed the Re-boot Camp program so that participants not only learn new information and coaching techniques, but also get the opportunity to try it all out for themselves. The coaching techniques can be used to better engage students in the classroom, but can also be useful outside of the learning process. We will look at tools for mentoring other teachers so that trainees can create a culture of continuous learning and development around them. Learn the difference between teaching, mentoring, and coaching; and how to use appropriate facilitation techniques to get students more interested in learning.

Together  we will practice techniques for creating a positive learning environment built on values, creativity, patience, and empathy. We will learn to incorporate activities that require and enhance sensory perception into the teaching process. Importantly, we'll repeatedly practice the skill of giving and receiving feedback, which is crucial for any personal growth.

We have carefully crafted the program to be "challenging" enough, but at the same time, you will go home relaxed, balanced, and with renewed inner strength. Over the course of the week you will have the opportunity to make deeper connections with other participants, explore different perspectives, and gain the courage to challenge yourself in new ways. While you are learning all kinds of new things about yourself, we of course also give you plenty of time and space for self-reflection. And all this in the beautiful and stimulating environment of the Central Slovakian countryside at the ecological center in Zaježová. Get ready for a week of vegetarian food, shared rooms and bathrooms, evenings by the fire, morning yoga, meaningful discussions, new inspirations, and lots and lots of support and empathy.
As a 2023 course participant said - "It is not only an eye opener, but also a heart opener."

At the end of the course you will receive the Certificate of Attendance and Europass Mobility document, or any other document your organisation/school requires to submit for applying Erasmus+ programme.

Testimonials

The Bridge and the director of the school, Klaudia Bednárová, represent a huge value for me and my startup. She perfectly understands the world of business, thanks to which she tailor-made my language training and aimed for results. I am very grateful for her help in a startup competition, both professionally and personally.

Eva Bašková Valovská
CEO & founder EventAdvisor

I appreciate my teacher's approach to her teaching and my learning. Everything was absolutely great.

Barbora Semková

English is important for working in our law firm, and that is why we provide our team members with the opportunity to gain language training so that they can continue to improve and develop.
We have been cooperating with The Bridge language school for several years. Their services, and the work of their lecturers, are at a high level. They always try to meet the demands of our "students" and provide them with quality language teaching.

Eva Sedničková
Allen & Overy

Profesia has been cooperating with the Bridge since 2009. For us, language learning at The Bridge is an excellent investment. Since our owner is an English- speaking company, our employees often must present their work, results and achievements in English. I should say that thanks to the professional approach of The Bridge, our employees have moved to levels where they have no problems delivering presentations, taking part in meetings etc..

Zuzana Kaňuchová
HR manager

Education is an integral part of our growth. We have transferred our education online, including English lessons, as English is crucial for us. We are an export business partner with an international team. We prefer group education, as it maintains a higher level of motivation, as each of us is naturally sociable with a greater or lesser degree of competitiveness.

Vladimír Nociar
Dexfinity, Deputy CEO, Head of Operations

Thanks to our teacher, we are all really motivated to learn. We improve and move forward really quickly.

Janka Bérešová

"The Bridge language school was love at first sight! I worked with its founders in many projects before the unique human genius of this institution, its friendly and accommodating staff, professional and experienced teachers attracted me as a student. I am grateful as since then English has been my great passion! And I'm about to put the kids here for their day camp, too. We're real fans! :-))"

Lucia Hurajová

As far as I´m concerned, the Bridge – English Language Centre, is the best option for learning the language. I have been in many courses, but if you want to learn more just theoretical grammar, if you want to really understand, read, write and speak fluently, then the Bridge is the best option. From my perspective it has been a great investment, worth my time and money.

Ing. Jarmila Halgašová
Member of Slovak Parliament, SAS

We have been cooperating with the Bridge for several years. I appreciate their attitude towards us as clients and their innovative approach to our employees as students. The progress in their English is significant. They invest into their teachers, which reflects in our language improvement. I have a great personal experience with individual classes, which help me not just to improve my English skills, but also to empower me for important presentations and meetings held in English.

Ivana Molnárová
CEO

The course was very useful for me. I was looking forward to all of my online lessons and it certainly reflected in improving my English.
