Group classes
Learn in a relaxed and fun environment in small groups of up to 8 students, ideal for focusing on your conversational skills.
Private classes
One-on-one tuition focussing on the individual needs of the student. Perfect if you have a specific goal to achieve and an exam to prepare for. They can be organised whenever and wherever you want; at school, at home, in a restaurant, in a shop, or even on the ski slopes, along with your favourite activity (skiing, hiking, shopping, climbing, dining…the list is endless).
Online lessons
Continue your learning back at home; it’ll feel like you’ve never left. You have the option of private or you can continue to join your regular group class from home.
Aperitif time
We also run weekly conversation classes in a local bar from 17.30–18.30; a great opportunity to practice speaking outside the classroom and meet like-minded people. All levels are welcome and you can enjoy a complimentary glass of wine to get the conversation flowing.
Corporate team building
Everyday thousands of businesses lose out because of language and cultural barriers. Learn a language, expand your global client base and help clinch that deal. We offer a unique language experience whereby you learn in a real environment using real life situations and put everything into practice with activities (including ski tuition in the winter). Classes are tailor-made to focus on the language and vocabulary essential to your business. Contact us for more information.

How to choose the best class for you
Our beginner classes are perfect for you if you’ve just arrived in Verbier and want to get to know a few people and be able to get out and about around the town. You will cover a wide range of useful topics in collaboration with some basic grammar to help you understand how the language works. After the classes you will have the confidence to order food, ask for information and directions, make appointments, fill in forms, and most importantly, talk to others at the après-ski.
Our intermediate and advanced classes encourage you to discuss and write about topics in more depth and teach you to use a wider range of vocabulary and tenses.
If you’re still not sure, don’t worry, you won’t need to take a test. We will meet you and to talk about your goals and find the right class for you.
