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.

Great flexibility, professional teachers, smooth and pleasant admin. After searching both in CH and abroad, I decided for this school because of their personalized and flexible approach, competitive price and the lessons turned out to be at a very high standard (online private lessons for me - super efficient). Thank you!
I took an online conversational German course with Timo Schenk, and was very pleased with his casual and flexible approach to the course!
Elly was a great and thoughtful teacher. Her emphasis on speaking was great for learning German and I’m leaving the course feeling like I learned alot. Thank you!
They are best in their profession!!!
I decided to join VOX-Sprachschule because of the positive Google reviews and word-of-mouth recommendations, and I was not disappointed. I have previously studied in multiple other schools in Zürich, but this experience was by far the best. The school is worth the investment. I took a C1 course three times a week for two hours each session over the span of two months. I particularly appreciated the small class sizes, which allowed each of us to receive more individual attention and ample opportunity to ask questions. My teacher was Björn, whom I had previously encountered at another school, and I was very pleased to learn that he had joined VOX-Sprachschule and would be our instructor. In my opinion, Björn is an excellent and highly professional teacher. He is the best German teacher I have ever had! His teaching techniques are unique and easy to understand, and he is very tech-savvy. He also shared valuable insights on how to master the C1 test, having previously been involved in evaluating the test himself.
(Translated by Google) I really enjoyed the English course with Cedric. The course location was ideal, I found the course book very interesting and helpful. Thank you also for the good discussions and for the flexibility. A great school! (Original) Der Englischkurs mit Cedric hat mir sehr gefallen. Der Kursort war ideal, das Kursbuch fand ich sehr interessant und hilfreich. Danke auch für die guten Gespräche und für die Flexibilität. Eine tolle Schule!
(Translated by Google) I am very satisfied with the Vox language school. I decided on a German C2 online course and everything went smoothly. My teacher Isabel is very professional, personable and it was a lot of fun learning German with her, so I would like to continue taking this course. The Vox language school is definitely worth recommending! (Original) Ich bin mit der Vox Sprachschule sehr zufrieden. Ich habe mich für ein Deutsch C2 Onlinekurs entschieden, und alles lief reibungslos . Meine Lehrerin Isabel ist sehr professionell, sympathisch und es hat auch viel Spass gemacht mit ihr Deutsch zu lernen, so, dass ich am liebsten diesen Kurs weiter machen würde. Die Vox Sprachschule ist auf jeden Fall Empfehlungswert !
I learnt Russian with Vox-Sprachschule. Currently I learn German and Arabic with them. They have very professional teachers, and individual flexible approach to students. I'd especially like to recommend Mr Botchkarev as a teacher to people who think they are bad at learning languages. Mr. Botchkarev will not only teach you the language, but also will learn you how to learn languages.
Very happy with Vox. It is worth the price. We were in a small group (3 students), our teacher Michael is very patient and adapts to the class' skills and knowledge. The rythm is good, it's not boring, we had fun during the classes, and I feel I made real progress.
I think I achieved my goals by doing a course with Felicity. I learned something new about learning as well, which I can apply in every studying subject. That's why I can recommend this course to everyone who learns German. The studying materials and school facilities are also of highest quality. Thank you ones more for your team work!
Very good experience with Vox, I have improved my German significantly thanks to the dedication of our teacher (Priska) and the smaller group setting was in particular very helpful!
My learning experience at Vox Sprach Schule with Mr. Björn as my teacher has been extremely positive to date. Within a short timeframe, I have increased my knowledge towards new vocabulary and gained a good understanding of constructing the German grammar. As a result, I am more confident to communicate in public. Equally, I understand more of what I read and hear too. Mr. Björn is always very well prepared, organised and focused. His teaching style is methodical and presented with a lot of attention to detail. He provides me a wide range of solutions, “tips and tricks” to memorise new words, alternative words, and explains different ways on how to best apply them. He does a lot of repetition and provides a lot of examples in the class to make sure that I have thoroughly understood the syllables before moving on to the next lesson. Above all, he does extensive helpful notes which are customised and prepared simultaneously during each class. I receive these notes shortly after every class, and they help me to study at home. The atmosphere in the class is very friendly and comfortable. Although I was nervous at first, I am very relaxed with my learning experience and look forward to attend each class with much enthusiasm. Vox Sprach Schule is very well located and maintained to high standards. The administration team has been extremely helpful and flexible towards accommodating my requests in order to ensure my learning experience is productive. I sincerely appreciate, and thank Vox Sprach Schule for placing Mr. Björn as my German teacher as I gave progressed a lot under his guidance. I look forward to continue my education with the same team and highly recommend them to anyone looking to learn a new language in Switzerland. D.A Pollocks Student.
