The C1 level is already about the complexity of language use. The vocabulary will be massively expanded again and we will work on the ability to deal with complex communicative context in any situation of your life. If you still have gaps or uncertainties from previous levels, we will of course help you to close them in an effective and fun way.

Course Description
Our Goethe-Zertifikat C1 exam preparation course is ideal if you need to improve your German for work or in order to study in German. If you have already successfully completed B2, we would love to help you get ready for the Goethe C1 exam.
There are two main components to passing a language exam: having the right language level and being familiar with the exam format. During this course, your teacher will assist you on both fronts. You will become acquainted with every section of the exam while using exam-specific materials while also improving your language skills.
Our class sizes are very small (3-5 participants), which ensures that you teacher is able to adapt the class to your requirements. You will learn to express yourself more fluently in professional and social situations and work on developing your formal writing skills to help you at university or at work. By the end of the class you will be able to sit your exam with confidence knowing that you have prepared well.

I have had great experiences with Vox. I have taken the A1 and A2 courses. Both instructors have been thorough and practiced excellent pedagogical techniques. I highly recommend this language school.
With VOX-Sprachschule I was able to improve a lot with German. The Language has opened Doors for me and VOX-Sprachschule and my teacher Silvan Plattner made part of it. I gonna miss the online lessons, very good. Tiptop
Though the price is higher than many other schools, the smaller class sizes and high quality of teachers make it worth it! The course scheduling is flexible and fits my working schedule well. Each teacher is different but I have had only good experiences in my A2 and B1 courses. Teachers are happy to receive feedback to help you learn in the way that is best for you.
I had the chance to try two different German schools in Zurich, each with its own pricing and approach. Although both were good in their respective segments, I found Vox especially impressive for its pleasant learning environment and excellent facilities. From the start, I was supported by Maria, who made my onboarding smooth and welcoming. Later, I had the privilege of learning with Professor Alexander, who truly goes above and beyond for his students. He makes learning fun and engaging, adapting his methods to ensure everyone understands. What really stood out to me about this school is that you genuinely feel they care about their students and are not just running a business. For example, there were times I couldn’t attend class, and Alexander kindly offered one-on-one sessions to help me keep up with my classmates. Overall, I highly recommend Vox to anyone looking for a supportive, student-focused German learning experience in Zurich.
(Translated by Google) Top-notch advice before registration, and the support during the course was also excellent. Communication and information were always excellent. We had to change the course at short notice, and the school found a solution very quickly and easily. The teacher (Olga) always took the necessary time and conveyed the material very well. (Original) Topp Beratung vor der Anmeldung und auch während dem Kurs war die Betreuung super. Immer super kommuniziert und informiert. Wir mussten kurzfristig den Kurs ändern und die Schule hat sehr schnell und unkompliziert eine Lösung gefunden. Die Lehrerin (Olga) hat sich immer die nötige Zeit genommen und den Schulstoff sehr gut rüber gebracht.
(Translated by Google) relaxed and informal atmosphere, very good quality teacher, small class for optimal learning effect. I'm already looking forward to the next lesson. Highly recommended! (Original) entspannte und ungezwungene Atmosphäre, qualitativ sehr gute Lehrerin, kleine Klasse für optimalen Lerneffekt. Ich freue mich schon auf die nächste Lektion. Sehr zu empfehlen!
(Translated by Google) I took the super-intensive B1 German course. The flexibility and availability of the management team was fantastic, and together we were able to find the best fit for me. Andersen's teaching methods and explanations were always very clear and simple. His availability, knowledge of languages, and his friendliness created a very pleasant environment. Because it was a small group, everyone always had the opportunity to express their doubts and uncertainties, and Andersen always answered them fully. I was truly satisfied with this course! I can't wait to start the B2 German course! (Original) Ho frequentato il corso B1 super intensivo di tedesco. La flessibilità e la disponibilità della parte manageriale è stata fantastica e insieme siamo riusciti a trovare ciò che per me era meglio. I metodi d'insegnamento di Andersen e le sue spiegazioni sono sempre state chiarissime e semplici. La sua disponibilità, la conoscenza delle lingue e la sua simpatia hanno creato un ambiente molto piacevole. Essendo un gruppo piccolo, ognuno aveva sempre la possibilità di esporre i propri dubbi e incertezze e Andersen ha sempre risposto pienamente a tutto. Sono stato veramente soddisfatto di questo corso! Non vedo l'ora di iniziare il corso B2 di tedesco!
Progressing from the B1 to B2 level in German is one of the most challenging steps. VOX was receptive to our class's feedback and made the necessary changes to our course. Additionally, our teacher, Andersen, was very patient and deeply committed to our language learning success. He worked tirelessly for us and consistently went above and beyond what most teachers would do.
My experience with VOX has been overall very positive and I cannot stress enough how their format of teaching to a maximum of 4 people at a time helps students developing their linguistic skills faster: you have more time to speak, to ask questions and to interact with your co-students. Isabelle has been a fantastic teacher. I attended A1 and A2 German courses with her. She was always ready to help whenever I needed assistance and answered my questions super quickly every time. She also pushed me and motivated me constantly. Herzlichen Dank Isabelle!!
I am very happy with my experience at VOX.The one-to-one lessons are exactly what I was looking for: a personalised course focused on conversation but also fun and interesting . My teacher Isabelle is very competent and supportive, she has helped me a lot to feel more confident in German and to enjoy speaking and learning the language :)
I am very happy with Cristina’s courses, she is always very dynamic, always pays attention to both our grammar and pronunciation, and makes all of us practice speaking.
Professional service, excellent teacher! Strongly recommend
