Course Description
It can be difficult to start learning a language as an adult, but our motivating and empathetic teachers will help you to overcome any fears or psychological hurdles you may have and enable you to use German with confidence. Your teacher will provide a supportive environment to give you the right start in your language learning journey.
In our “Goethe-Zertifikat A1: Start Deutsch 1” exam preparation course you will prepare for the exam while learning the basics of German. This exam preparation course will cover all aspects of the exam and you will become familiar with the structure of each section using materials specifically aimed at exam preparation in addition to materials on general grammar and vocabulary.
At VOX, we consider speaking the key tool you need to use and practise to successfully learn a language. Our small class sizes (3-5 people) enable you to get lots of speaking practice and individual attention to boost your confidence and make the grammar stick. Accurate pronunciation is a vital ingredient of smooth communication. Your teacher will help you learn to accurately pronounce German sounds that are new to you. At the end of the course you will be excellently prepared and be able to sit your first German exam with confidence and enthusiasm.

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 initially selected VOX from among a handful of recommended language schools in Zurich because of its broad course offering. But I’ve stayed with VOX because of my incredible teacher, Isabelle. She took me from having absolutely zero knowledge of the German language to passing my A1 exam (which I needed as a condition of my visa to remain in Switzerland) in three months during our small group A1 course (which covered all of A1 and included supplementary test prep material). After completing this group course, I have continued taking individual lessons with Isabelle, completing A2, and am currently working through B1. I would highly recommend VOX, especially Isabelle – she is incredibly professional, has a very effective teaching method, and is patient but also knows when to push you ahead.
I’m very happy with VOX. I’ve completed my A2 and B1 German courses here, and I’m currently doing B2. I really like the way the classes are conducted. It’s not just about doing exercises in a book there’s a strong focus on conversation and discussing topics that interest the students. I’d especially like to mention Priska. She’s an excellent teacher who prepares all her lessons with care, always answers our questions, helps us, and teaches in the best possible way. I will definitely continue taking my courses here ☺️
I had a truly exceptional experience learning German at VOX. I am incredibly satisfied with the progress I made during my course. My teacher, Evgeniya, is the reason this course was so successful for me. She is a phenomenal instructor, and I recommend her wholeheartedly! She perfectly balanced grammar exercises with practical, real-life conversational practice. My ability to speak German (Sprechen) has improved immensely thanks to her constant encouragement and well-designed activities. This was the best language learning experience I've ever had. Evgeniya's passion for teaching and her effective methods made all the difference. If you are looking to learn German, look no further! Enroll in a class with Evgeniya—you will be amazed by your own progress.
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!!
(Translated by Google) I completed an online one-on-one English course at level B2 and I'm very satisfied. Communication with the teacher was very easy and I benefited tremendously. The school is very professional, the course has a logical structure and good learning materials. Very motivating. Thank you to the VOX Language School! (Original) Habe einen Online Einzel-Kurs absolviert in Englisch Level B2 und bin sehr zufrieden. Die Kommunikation mit der Lehrerin ist sehr einfach und ich habe extrem profitiert. Die Schule arbeitet sehr professionell und der Kurs hat einen logischen Aufbau und gute Schulmaterialien. Sehr motivierend. Danke an die VOX Sprachschule!
Great school and a fantastic service! A+
I took some swiss-german courses with Silvan per Zoom. It was perfect, efficient, well organised. This school has very friendly teachers. Recommanded.
I took the A1 and A2 German classes at VOX and I quickly changed my perception from "I have to learn German" to "I want to learn German". It was a pleasure taking these classes. Alexander Lips is a great teacher, who makes German learning fun and interactive, always adapting to each student's needs. As a result, I passed the fide A2 test with a great score and will continue with B1 course at VOX with the same Alexander the great.
Vox school is in the complex well organized and offers both private lessons and small-group lessons. I liked also the possibility to attend the course online, that makes it even more flexible and gives you the possibility to attend the course from anywhere. I think that one of the advantages of the school is that the teachers are very well prepared. I am enjoying my German course with Larissa, she is very professional and she has very good teaching skills. I also appreciate that she prepares the class in advance and that she always prepare for me a summary of each lesson, that is very helpful for the learning process. Because of my experience, I strongly recommend Vox school.
Priska is an excellent teacher. Very happy with the class!
I'm currently doing a B1 online German group course and so far the experience has been really great. The teacher (Yulia) is very professional, is fully prepared for each class, makes things interesting by mixing teaching content (text book, youtube videos, poem listening) and most importantly encourages us to speak, speak, speak! Can highly recommend.
