Welcome

Welcome to Berkshire Language Centre's web site.  At Berkshire Language Centre, we pride ourselves on offering the highest quality English Language teaching in a friendly and supportive environment.

We offer:

  • General English classes
  • Exam preparation classes including the Cambridge First Certificate (FCE), Advanced Certificate (CAE), Proficiency (CPE) and IELTS
  • 1:1 private tuition
  • Tuition in English for business and employment
  • In-company training for groups and individuals.

Berkshire Language Centre is owned and run by Garry Newman and offers highly qualified and experienced teachers and teacher trainers.  Between us, we have nearly forty years experience teaching English as a foreign language and training in the UK and abroad.  We also bring with us experience of teaching and training in the business and commercial sectors.

We recognise that studying in a foreign country can be daunting; many students feel lonely and often get homesick.  We'll make sure you not only improve your English with us, we'll also invite you to become part of a learning community.  You'll mix with students from all over the world giving you an opportunity to make new friends and learn about different cultures.  We also organise regular social events to help develop interests outside the classroom.

The Centre is conveniently located in Maidenhead Town Centre, close to the Nicholson Centre, which is easily reached by car or public transport.  We're only five minutes walk away from the mainline train station and are well serviced by local and regional bus routes.

Please take a few minutes to find out more about us by looking through our website.  If you would like further details or would like to discuss your requirements in person, please don't hesitate to telephone us.

We'll be very happy to hear from you.

Through taking the IELTS courses at Berkshire Language Centre, I was able to improve my English significantly. I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere of the class, which encouraged me to use new vocabulary and expressions. As a result of taking the course, my overall English skills (reading, writing, listening, speaking) improved. In fact, after finishing my first course which lasted for about 3 months, I was so pleased with the achieved improvements that I took the same course again in the next 3 months!

Out of several English lessons I've taken over the years, the class at Berkshire Language Centre was by far the best, and I would like to recommend this class to other English learners who want to take their English to the next level.
