Fully tailor-made
We design a personal training programme for and with you based on your learning aims, wishes and abilities. Here, everything revolves around you achieving your learning goals. If desired, we can even adjust your programme during the course. No other course member has the same programme you do!
Enjoyment in learning
We put together a training programme which allows you to make progress by the end of each lesson and each day. In the following lesson day, you build upon what you have already learnt. Learning a language becomes a positive, enriching experience through the cumulative effect of all these success moments.
Course offerings for organisations
We are best known for our intensive individual language training, but did you know that we also provide in-company and team training to numerous organisations? The training can consist of group lessons, individual lessons or a combination of these. We would be pleased to work with you to put together the perfect training course for your organisation.

Regina Coeli’s foundations
The foundation for Regina Coeli is laid in 1597. Alix le Clerc and Pierre Fourier found the Sisters of the Holy Order of Saint Augustine congregation in Lotharingen, France. One of their most important aims is educating girls.

The sisters settle in Vught
Over the centuries, the congregation gradually spreads throughout Europe. A group of sisters from Lunéville, France settle in Vught in 1903 and build a cloister with a boarding school for secondary school-aged girls. They call it Regina Coeli.

How the language institute came to be
The sisters open their own language laboratory in their convent, where they have started offering language courses to missionaries. News quickly spreads of the laboratory’s outstanding quality, and their unique method starts to draw more than just missionaries.

The language laboratory leaves the convent
In 1982, the language laboratory gets its own building on the same property as the cloister. The building is replaced by an entirely new one in 2001 and expanded in 2011. To this day, students still follow their tailor-made Regina Coeli language courses on the very same spot.
Different types of language courses

Are you curious about how our approach actually works in practice? No one can tell you better than our own students. They are happy to share the experiences they have had while with us at Regina Coeli!
Experiences
Our trainers are native speakers who have a passion for sharing their knowledge of language and culture. We ask our students to share and rate their experiences to be sure that everything perfectly suits the trainee. Now, and also in the future!
Speaking English is something that seems very normal. However, I just wanted my English to be really good. I want to be able to communicate like I do in my own language. The teachers are all very good at their subject, really accomplished. They see you very much as an individual and adjust their teaching method accordingly. They show you where your talents and strengths lie and bring these out in another language.
I’m incredibly satisfied with the individual nature of the course. The trainers tailor the programme to the student very well. And as a student, I have the feeling that I can steer my own programme. The quality of what they do here at Regina Coeli is indisputable.

In my five-day individual English course, I have general lessons like grammar and social conversation. The other half of the time, I focus on specific legal jargon. I have examples of the kinds of contracts I generally deal with at work with me. The contracts form the input for the lessons. One of the trainers is even a lawyer and you can tell.
