Our teachers have many years’ experience in helping students improve their English Language skills in a friendly, international setting. All tutors of English language programmes are native speakers, and are at least CELTA-qualified. Several also have the Diploma Level (DELTA) qualification.
We offer both individual and group tuition. Students wishing to take group tuition are placed into the most suitable class based on both their age and their level of English, which is assessed before arrival using our pre-course placement test.
We offer both General English and IELTS Preparation classes, at a range of levels, every week. Both options have classes at the same time, and the price is the same – so students can choose which option is best for them.

Course length in VIEC is flexible: during the year students can join a course for as little as 1 week, or for any number of weeks up to 1 or 2 years, depending on visa status. We typically recommend at least 2 weeks for a short course.

All students wishing to take a course of more than 8 weeks are interviewed via Skype or Zoom in advance of arrival, so that a realistic idea of how long it will take for them to achieve the required level can be given.
