As a coach and instructor with experience since 2006, I offer coaching sessions and developmental courses for both adults and children. My approach is rooted in proven scientific methods while respecting the emotions and experiences of each individual.
My name is Jitka Tužová, and I am:
- A certified Ikigai coach
- A certified mediator of the FIE method (focused on developing critical thinking) for both adults and children
- A certified Neurolanguage Coach®
- A certified Gestalt coach
- An English instructor with Montessori training
- Founder of the Joyful English project—Montessori-inspired English for children from 2 years old
- Founder and operator of a Czech-English Montessori preschool and elementary school (2008–2017)
- And also a mother of two adult children, who have been my greatest teachers.
I believe that children offer a tremendous opportunity for personal development.
Since 2004, I have been interested in Montessori education and approaches to working with children. I completed various shorter courses in the Czech Republic and a year-long training program abroad.
Since 2006, I have been active in the Montessori environment as an English instructor, entrepreneur, and founder of an educational center and Czech-English Montessori preschool and elementary school. As the founder of the Joyful English project, I also mentor English instructors and teachers.
I have experienced nearly everything an entrepreneur and mother can go through. The beginnings were tough, especially when you have to “test” everything on yourself.
In 2017, I nearly faced burnout, leading me to decide to part ways with the school and focus on achieving “work-life balance.”
This naturally led me to a year-long Gestalt coaching training in 2018. Coaching is something I truly enjoy. The connection of energies, along with the functioning of the human brain/mind and universal laws, fascinates me.
Neuroscience intrigued me so much that in 2020 and 2021, I completed two international training programs and received the Advanced Neurolanguage Coach® certification. This is a language coaching method that uses insights from neuroscience, confirming much of what M. Montessori observed and incorporated into her approach.
From 2020 to 2022, I applied my knowledge and experience as a mentor to teachers in 33 kindergartens in Liberec, where I introduced elements of various “alternative” educational methods.
I was also fortunate to undergo two trainings and become a certified mediator of FIE (Feuerstein’s Instrumental Enrichment) for both adults and children. Since there are no coincidences, my first experience was with a client who had (likely) post-COVID and fatigue syndrome, and the FIE method greatly helped him.
Over the past seven years, I’ve also become a passionate golfer—not just for the game itself. Golf incorporates many elements of personal development, and I apply its principles to both life and business.
I love learning and discovering new possibilities and approaches to working with clients. My most recent “upgrade” was completing Ikigai coaching training, and I’m excited to offer you this new adventurous journey towards a successful and fulfilling life.
I support my clients on their journey of self-development, self-discovery, communication in English as a second language, or entrepreneurship. My priority is to create a nurturing and safe environment where the human brain functions at its best, enabling individuals to create the life they desire.
