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.

Very professional and accommodating school. Tobias in particular has been an excellent teacher for the past couple of months.
I took German lessons with Ruben. Although I was only able to attend the lessons for a short time, I think I made significant progress. Ruben was very supportive and made the class enjoyable and efficient. He helped me a lot to adapt to the class and constantly tried to adapt the course to everyone's needs.
(Translated by Google) I attended an exam preparation course with Tatiana at VOX. The course was incredibly well-structured and organized. I was able to learn a great deal in a short time. The teacher immediately recognized my strengths and weaknesses and tailored the course content accordingly. I would say it's one of the best courses I've ever taken, and I can definitely recommend the school to anyone. (Original) Ich habe bei VOX einen Prüfungsvorbereitungs-Kurs bei Tatiana besucht. Der Kurs war super strukturiert und gut organisiert. Ich konnte in kurzer Zeit sehr viel lernen. Die Lehrerin erkannte meine Stärken und Schwächen sofort und passte die Kursinhalte auch an diese an. Ich würde sagen, es ist einer der besten Kurse, den ich bisher besucht habe und ich kann die Schule auf jeden Fall jedem empfehlen.
(Translated by Google) Priska is a very good teacher! (Original) Priska ist a sehr gut lehrerin!
In 2022, I had a great experience in VOX-Sprachschule while doing a german course for 1 month. A small group was so good for learning and our teacher was great at teaching and very friendly.
Very nice school with a nice and flexible teachers :)
I highly recommend VOX! As a beginner with no previous knowledge of German I learnt a lot thanks to the very patient and professional teacher Ruben! I also liked the size of the group and the location.
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 had a fantastic experience learning with Lise Schaller and Sara Alves Penteado, both in-person and online for my A2 and B1 packages. Both teachers are very friendly and always make you feel comfortable. Each lesson is well-planned, curated, and offers high value for money. Sara teaches online and her notes are very clear, organised and easy to follow. Both teachers draw and use color-coding, which makes the concepts very easy to understand. If you want to get a strong understanding, it is excellent!
My experience with VOX has been incredible. I would recommend you for sure. Michael was extremely good, patient and always came prepared. If I did not understood something, he would take his time and explain again (and sometimes again) without any impatience. Thank you very much for the well planned itenarary and accommodating me in the Corona...🤔..... Times
(Translated by Google) I've been attending the C1 German course at VOX Language School for a month now and I'm very satisfied. My goal was to improve my spoken communication, and I'm already seeing significant progress in my fluency. Our teacher addresses our individual goals, and we're learning many useful expressions that are perfectly suited to our level. It's especially helpful that we get to practice speaking a lot in class. Highly recommended! (Original) Ich besuche seit einem Monat den C1-Deutschkurs bei VOX Sprachschule und bin sehr zufrieden. Mein Ziel war es, meine mündliche Kommunikation zu verbessern, und ich sehe bereits deutliche Fortschritte in meiner Sprachflüssigkeit. Unser Lehrer geht auf unsere persönlichen Ziele ein, und wir lernen viele nützliche Ausdrücke, die wirklich zum Niveau passen. Besonders hilfreich ist, dass wir im Unterricht viel sprechen können. Sehr empfehlenswert!
I'm really happy with VOX and Larissa, the lessons are engaging and fun, a lot of speaking practice and grammar. But the most important thing is they care about your experience. Definitely recommending.
