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 am currently learning Norwegian and I have to say this school is the best. My teacher, Kirsten, has a lot of patience and she explains everything good and clear. I am satisfied with the course ( couldn’t be better organised - full flexibility ). I would definitely recommend it.
I am now in the process of completing the third program with this school and wanted to share my unsolicited feedback publicly. The school offers a proper placement test in German that significantnly helps with the choice of program. The programs are well designed and priced at Zürich market standards. The sales team is excellent and although the support team could be more diligent they address concerns respectfully and considerately. My last comment goes to the teachers. This profession is exceptionally difficult yet each of them delivers to the best of their abilities ; of course, some are also exceptional and I will be eternally grateful for sharing their wisdom with me. Side note: the marketing video is enthusiastic and funny, although somehow heroic, and therefore, perhaps dated. This is a private enterprise. Still running a school remains an invaluable public function and its success is a lucky collective effort. Perhaps a more collective show might have been more representative of the overall operation :) I warmly recommend the school if you want to learn German.
I did B2 German course and I absolutely recommend it. The course with Agnieszka has been amazing! Aga's teaching style is fantastic and she always manages to make learning pleasant and fun. I definitely improved my grammar skills which was what I was hoping for. One of my favorite parts is that Aga always uses examples from real life so I could implement what I had learned in the very same evening during conversations with my friends and family. That boosts motivation a lot. Plus the more 'dramatic' expressions (such as: dieser Zug ist abgefahren, hier hört der Spass auf) make it easier to remember and are fun to use afterwards. We were often asked what we would like to do more so I can't say anything was missing. I really wouldn't know how to improve the course, it was already above my expectations :)
Very happy with my experience at VOX in Zurich. Small class sizes make a difference as there is much more opportunity to speak and engagement compared to working through a book. Teachers have been engaged and the admin have been responsive. Would recommend
The classes at Vox are absolutely amazing and a true delight. Even though I am learning online, the sessions are so interactive and fun that staying focused is easy.. I'm currently at an A2 level in German and I couldn't be happier with my progress. Anna is an incredible teacher, she is not only friendly but also brings so much energy and warmth to each class. Her lessons are always well-prepared and packed with engaging, varied exercises.
(Translated by Google) As a teacher, I find teaching at VOX incredibly rewarding. Not only is the organization excellent, but the groups I've had the pleasure of teaching have always been very dynamic, motivated, and engaging. Overall, it's a superb learning environment. (Original) Als Lehrerin bereitet mir das Unterrichten bei VOX unglaubliche Freude. Nicht nur die Organisation ist top, sondern auch die Gruppen, welche ich unterrichten durfte, waren immer sehr dynamisch, motiviert und unterhaltsam. Im Grossen und Ganzen eine ausgezeichnete Lernatmosphäre.
I am American and was on vacation when I recently took a month of biweekly B1 German classes with VOX school in Zurich. It was a LOVELY experience. I enjoyed the diversity of students, and my teacher, Isabelle, Wegmuller, was absolutely exceptional. She had very original and creative ways of presenting new material and engaging the students. She has an astounding grasp of Hoch Deutsch and a vast well of knowledge about so many different things. The time past so quickly, too quickly, and I learned a lot in just a short period of time. I highly recommend this school, and Isabelle, if you can get her. Well done, VOX and Isabelle.
(Translated by Google) Top language school - highly recommended! (Original) Top Sprachschule - absolut empfehlenswert!
Deutsch A1 Online Very good school for learning. Easy selection of course. Timely communication and atleast bilingual teachers. My teacher Ms. Nora is absolutely great. Has been understanding and flexible with the classes.
(Translated by Google) Very good teaching Andersen (Original) Sehr gut Lehre Andersen
I am very satisfied with my lessons with Isabel. She is a pedagogue and professional teacher. She listened to my needs and adapted the exercises accordingly. We put a focus on oral expression and acquisition of vocabulary. We also worked on important grammar aspects and written expression. I confirm that I have learned things and improved my level thanks to Isabel's teaching. She is skilled and able to adapt precisely to the needs. Please, congratulate her on my behalf. I also congratulate you and your institution for your seriousness.
I was taking individual classes and I had good teacher during the training. More focus on practical learning vs. overkill with grammar.
