Learn any language
naturally and organically
In a nutshell, The Plant Method is all about learning language through conversation lessons with a trained teacher.
It stands for Personalised Learning through Acceptance, Nurturing, and Trust. The teacher, whether online or in person, provides a safe place for the language learner to express themselves, all while receiving grammar instruction (when needed), and error correction.
We believe that every language learner has a rich life story, interests, and experiences, and a new language is learned through sharing those thoughts and experiences.
I am Jen Hill, the Founder of The Plant Method.
I come from Alberta, Canada, but I’m glad to call Prague, the Czech Republic, my home.
When I’m not teaching, I’m working on a writing project (most likely a novel), or taking a walk to a local park to watch a sunset. I also love chilling with my friends and enjoying a craft beer!
Authentic Experiences
Because we focus on your life and your experiences, you remember and retain new vocabulary and grammar more easily.
Learning through Speaking
Our teachers correct mistakes and errors often in class, and provide grammar as it is needed by the learner.
Trust and Connection
We build relationships of trust between teacher and learner and often have relationships and connections that last years, allowing learners to have a ‘mirror’ of their progress over time

I have worked with Jen for many years, she is not only a reliable and versatile supplier of language courses to company, but also my own tutor. I divide my English studies into a BEFORE Jen and AFTER Jen stage. Before I met her, studying was more or less an unpleasant duty for me. Since Jen has been teaching me, English lessons have been a pure joy for me. She brings optimism, empathy, wit and humour to our conversations. I don’t even know how it happened, but I soon moved from the perpetual A2 level to a B2 start.
And how could this miraculous shift have happened?
It’s because of Jen’s unique method of teaching with a focus on conversation. Jen hands me almost an A4 of notes and pictures from each lesson. She always summarises what I’ve used correctly or what I need to watch out for. This includes grammar and pronunciation. From these notes, I have created my own textbook that is tailored to my personality and my needs.
