The Story of Doučení Jinak

How the Corporate World Reignited My Love for Learning

My name is Zdeněk Vlček, and I have been working for many years in personal development and the education of young people. I help them with preparation for entrance exams, graduation, job interviews, and more. But above all, I assist them in finding their own “WHY.” Everyone deserves the opportunity to one day make a living doing what they love. I am passionate about finding new paths and methods to achieve long-term goals.

We all have a hidden genius within us; the key is to discover it and give it space to grow. Everyone can uncover and develop this ability.

Today, we teach online all around the world, and our educational partners are located far and wide, with students enrolling from places like Japan, Hong Kong, and various countries across Europe. We are united by the same educational philosophy and the desire to open up opportunities for young people that they never even dreamed of!

I am absolutely thrilled with the amazing team that has come together at Doučení Jinak. They are incredibly smart and successful young people who have earned international diplomas and faced challenges that most would shy away from. I am incredibly proud of this team!

But how did it all begin?

My journey started many years ago when I faced educational challenges tied to the poor quality of our educational system. Looking back, I realize these experiences led me to create Doučení Jinak.

After graduating from the Pedagogical Faculty in Hradec Králové, I initially focused on a career in the corporate world. However, over time, I discovered that education was my true passion. Whether I was training colleagues in the financial sector, teaching bartenders in London, or building a sales team, education always found its way back to me.

With Doučení Jinak, I wanted to create a space for individual work with children and their specific needs. We specialize in international education, children with learning disabilities, gifted children with challenges in other areas, and children who need support in facing demanding educational challenges.

Our core values:

  • Self-awareness as the foundation for personal growth and self-worth.
  • Fear as a tool for growth, not an obstacle.
  • Motivation and the right approach to learning.
  • Talent development instead of focusing on weaknesses.
  • Honesty with oneself as the foundation for healthy self-esteem.

In this way, Doučení Jinak helps children grow, develop, and achieve their goals.
