Course Description
Whether you need to pass the Goethe-Zertifikat B2 for your career, to attend a German-speaking university, for a residency permit or whether you just want to set yourself a challenge, we will help you succeed.
Our very small class sizes of 3-5 people ensure that your teacher will be able to give you direct feedback on your progress and help you to brush up on any necessary grammar and vocabulary to fill any gaps in your German knowledge. Your teacher will help you to significantly expand your vocabulary and you will learn to express yourself in a more nuanced way through discussion of a wide range of topics. You will also gain a better grasp of formal German suitable for university and the workplace.
Along with improving your German, you also need to be intricately familiar with the exam format. This course will cover each exam section in detail and your teacher will help you develop strategies for each part to allow you to answer questions efficiently, accurately and with confidence.

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.
(Translated by Google) Dear Ms. Poulkas, The course with Yana was quite insightful. I spoke a lot during the course, and she helped me a great deal to correct my mistakes. Yana was taking the course under difficult circumstances, with many upcoming lessons and little time to work, but she managed to optimize the content to clarify the most important and fundamental points. I need some time to practice everything I learned and familiarize myself with so that I can continue with the B2 course. Kind regards, Rodrigo Aires (Original) Liebe Frau Poulkas, Der Kurs mit Yana war ziemlich aufschlussreich. Ich habe während des Kurses viel geredet und sie hat mir sehr geholfen, meine Fehler zu korrigieren. Yana nahm an dem Kurs in einer komplizierten Situation teil, mit vielen anstehenden Lektionen und wenig Zeit zum Arbeiten, aber sie schaffte es, den Inhalt zu optimieren, um die wichtigsten und grundlegenden Punkte zu klären. Ich brauche etwas Zeit, um alles Gelernte und Orientierte zu üben, damit ich mit dem B2-Kurs weiter lernen kann. Freundliche Grüsse Rodrigo Aires
Thoroughly enjoyed the course!
(Translated by Google) I’m just an ordinary person who enjoys exploring Google Street View. At first, I only wanted to see if there were any Street View images of the Central Polybahn (the funicular station platform). By chance, I clicked into this place and discovered something really fun. I have to say—it’s incredibly creative! Even though I live far away in Asia, I still find this so refreshing and delightful. Truly a wonderful idea!

Really funny and super creative! Even though I live far away in Asia, I find this totally refreshing and somehow really beautiful.

Richtig witzig und super kreativ! Auch wenn ich weit weg in Asien wohne, finde ich das total erfrischend und irgendwie voll schön.
I had my lesson with Elly and she was super patient and help us to get us the AHA moment when comes to learning German. I especially enjoyed her lesson because we are not allow to speak english (most time) during her lesson, which helped us tremendously on german speaking skill 🤩🥰 really hope I can come back to her lesson at some point😭❤️🔥
The best language school in Zürich. I took the German Goethe B1 for 1 year until September - and had success at the exams recently. Place and location superb, small group of classmates, a great teacher - Kathrine Spaar was knowledgeable, resourceful, kept us motivated and made the lessons interesting and fun(which is hard to do in German!). What made me though initially decide on this school was how open and flexible were to my special requests. I greatly appreciated that they continued to offer options and solutions to some personal issues I had during the course; every person I was in contact with was kind, responsive and eager to find a way to the best result - special kudos and thanXXX to Evgenia. I rarely had come along to this combination of skills and humanity, so it's a strong recommendation and good luck to your language journey @ VOX
Awesome class
(Translated by Google) I really enjoyed the lessons with Tatiana. I looked forward to every lesson with her and would definitely recommend her. She tailors the lessons very individually and responds spontaneously when we've talked about other topics. I had a great time and hope to continue the course in the spring. We laughed a lot, and for me, having fun is the most important thing for learning. (Original) Ich fand den Unterricht mit Tatiana super. Habe mich auf jede Lektion mit ihr gefreut und würde euch auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen. Sie gestaltet den Unterricht sehr individuell und reagiert spontan wenn wir über andere Themen gesprochen haben. Ich hatte eine tolle Zeit und hoffe den Kurs im Frühling noch weiterführen zu können. Wir haben viel gelacht und für mich ist Spass das wichtigste um zu lernen
(Translated by Google) Very well done! (Original) Super gut gemacht!
As a teacher working for VOX, I could not be happier about my experience here. Teaching to single students or small groups (max five people) allows me to adapt the lessons to their goals, maximize their progress, follow them up thoroughly and establish trustworthy, effective relationships. The focus is on speaking skills, which I consider crucial to prepare the students for contexts of real communication. The team is varied, multilingual, highly motivated and supportive: the students will always find someone that can fit with their timetable and requirements. Finally, the school has a clear ambition to grow, to develop and to provide an ever-improving service. From my point of view, highly recommended for both teachers and students.
I just finished the semi intensive German A2 course with Yana Antonova. Yana is a great teacher and I loved her style of teaching. She is professional, patient, explains well and makes lessons as interesting and fun as possible for all. We had a group of four that gave all of us plenty of time to practice and ask questions. Lessons were moderated very well by Yana. I highly recommend her.
