Our learning programmes are uniquely geared around YOU!
We offer support to all individuals who want language coaching, whether it’s online at home or in person classes at our language academy in Newbury, Berkshire.
Our language coaching helps those who need that extra boost of confidence – for their holidays or for a new lifestyle choice like moving abroad, or simply because they want to work through their language proficiency exams A1 – C2 (European Framework for languages). We also offer vital support for people needing new language skills for work, VISA, IELTS or any other preparation for language examinations.

Our language programme options:
1:1 language coaching
There’s no one size fits all approach when it comes to learning languages.
Perhaps you have specific learning objectives, need that extra flexibility or simply enjoy the personalisation and connection of private language lessons.
We have highly trained, friendly and expert language coaches qualified in 1:1 private language coaching who can create a dedicated language programme, tailor-made just for you.
Contact us to find out more about 1:1 language coaching and prices.
Group classes
Join our thriving community of linguists and take part in group classes, available online and in-person at our language academy throughout the week. Learning with peers beside you encourages communication and connection – plus you have a fantastic opportunity to share ideas and practice with one another!
Beginner, intermediate and advanced sessions are available, working through the language proficiency exams C2 – A1!
Contact us to find out more and get prices for group language classes.
Blended learning packages
At VICI, we know that a combination of learning styles and resources are the fastest way to progress your language skills. We create tailor-made packages to suit your learning style. Popular blended learning combinations can include:
1:1 coaching, group classes and coursework
Unlimited access to digital platforms
Access to podcasts, magazines and events
A flexible schedule to work around you!

On-demand: remote online learning
You can choose from a range of tried and tested language programmes and on-demand learning platforms that will support you regardless of your age and language proficiency.
Available to access remotely whether you’re at home, in the office or at your nearby coffee shop, it’s a fantastic self-study method where you can work through modules at your own pace.
Generally, our students find this works as a great supplement to either 1:1 sessions or group coaching.

Residential Programmes
Every year we run residential programmes, which aim to fully immerse you in the culture and language! Not only will you put your skills truly into practice, but you have the opportunity to develop yourself personally and network with a group of similar-minded linguists.
In 2024, we’re running a residential trip to Spain and an exclusive retreat to France.
Language assessments
We offer formal online language testing for those who need to get an idea of their language proficiency, perhaps for a CV or application. You can take an online test with us, and your results will be delivered back within 48 hours.
Test results are based on the European Framework for languages, indicating your level between A1 – C2 (beginner to advanced).
Costing as little as £45, contact our team today.

What our students say
I am so chuffed that my wife found VICI for us, I have been going now for a couple of months and I can feel myself, for the first time, improving each day I visit!
“Anne-Claire is my coach and I really couldn’t have hoped for a better teacher. She always keeps me on my toes and she has a way of making me feel proud of myself which I have never felt in previous French teaching programmes, you really cannot beat being taught by the best.
Everyone at VICI is so wonderful and makes you feel so comfortable. Thank you!
After years of wanting to learn a language I decided to learn Italian and I started my journey with the VICI Academy nearly 4 years ago.
“I’m currently in Italy, and know my confidence in communicating is due to the VICI approach to teaching.
Everything I was taught in the school and online, I carried on learning when I moved from the area. Thank you to Michaela for her patience and Nathalie for creating such a fab company!”
“It is a fun, interesting and wonderful discovery. This is a gem of a language school in the centre of Newbury.”
“Distinctive teaching given in small groups and catering for all ages and abilities. Well-balanced, interesting lessons that inspire and can really encourage you to learn.
With an excellent command of English, all the teachers are native speakers of the language they teach, whether in French, Spanish, German or Italian.
I am a dedicated fan and have been studying French at VICI for the last few years with great enjoyment.”
