Hi,

The easiest is probably to check either the French ski school (they have schools in most ski resorts):

Or the Swiss ski school (Ecole suisse de ski). For an example of a ski resort which is easy to access by train, you may check the ski school in Villars:

Have fun,

chamonix has a good ski school and they do transfers from the airport for a reasonable price.  les gets is a mellow resort if you're a beginner and again the ski instructors are pretty good, only an hour away by car..... 

I have heard that the Ski Club International de Geneve is very good for beginners (this from a Swiss person who started two years ago). www.scig.ch. And a note for Per P - before you or anyone makes a comment on my skiing capabilities, I did not go with them.

The other point I hear is that it is well organised, discounts for ski passes both English and French spoken
