Hi, I’m Stepanka! I am a dedicated Student Learning Support Teacher and Speech and Language Therapist. I am currently located in Prague, Czech Republic, having previously worked and lived in Zurich (CH), London (UK) and Dnipro (UA).

‍

‍

I earned my Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees in Special Education (with a focus on Speech-Language Pathology and Deaf Studies) from Masaryk University in Brno. Additionally, I hold the Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) from the UK, and I am pursuing my doctoral studies in Pre-primary and Primary Pedagogy at Comenius University in Bratislava.

Throughout my career, I have accumulated extensive experience across international and specialized educational environments. I have worked as a Special Education Needs (SEN) teacher in London (Swiss Cottage and The Bridge SEN Schools), led inclusion programs and supported IB/IGCSE students at Riverside International School in Prague, taught special education coursework at the University of Hradec Králové, and practiced clinical speech therapy in healthcare settings.

My educational approach centers on inclusive, holistic, and individual-centered learning. I believe in tailoring support to empower every student’s unique strengths while fostering an environment where they feel confident and understood. My core specialties include inclusive education, speech and language support, developmental language disorder, autism spectrum disorders (ASD), individualized education planning (IEP), and academic mentorship. I specialize in working with primary, lower secondary, and upper secondary students.
