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.

Are there any things we can improve? -- I don't see any issues with the class or the learning material. The learning concepts that I am occupying myself with are exactly what I had initially had in mind when I first started the course, and although we don't always work with the book, I'm always about to leave the classroom (or in this case, the Zoom meeting) feeling like I learned something new and understand it. What is your general impression of the course and teacher? -- As far as the course goes, it's been very low-key and fitted to my personal goals. When I have class with my teacher, I don't feel stressed or rushed, and I am allowed to take my time as I learn - and even so, I am still able to make quick progress and learn on a broad spectrum in an efficient time span. In addition to this, my teacher is very welcoming and understanding of what I want to achieve within the lessons. She adapts to my needs, explains what I don't quite understand in simple and helpful terms, and makes me feel comfortable even when I struggle or feel less confident in a certain topic or theme. I'm very satisfied with my teacher and couldn't have asked for a better instructor. Are you making your desired progress in the course? -- Absolutely. The objective of taking the program was so that I could practice my speaking, understand new language concepts, and practise my French while I had a learning gap within my former school. In the weeks I've studied with my teacher, I've learned plenty of new vocabulary, gotten the opportunity to train my speaking, and received feedback that will be incredibly helpful as I continue to learn the language; my goals are being actively achieved, and I'm being helped to feel more and more secure in French altogether. Would you like to continue studying with us? -- Because my goal was to refresh my French and give me a head start in preparation for a new school, I would not continue my studies with the program after finishing it. I've achieved what I wished to do and feel ready for that which lies ahead of me. Although, I would recommend it for anyone willing to either start learning a language or further their education.
Excellent VOX to learn German and especially with the teacher Nathalie N. ! Clean and tidy rooms, professional and pedagogical teacher, small groups and very nice people ! Thank you very much VOX !
Kenny Müller is an amazing teacher. He is patient, kind, and committed to each student and their learning needs. He comes prepared with many interesting activities and games, and makes learning a stress-free experience. I look forward to each class and have already learned a lot.
Great teachers! Very satisfied with online course as well
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.
(Translated by Google) I took the online English C1 exam preparation course with M. Fioravanti and learned a lot very quickly. The different parts of the exam were examined in detail, and we were able to discuss and review individual points in more detail if I had any difficulties. I would definitely choose Vox language schools again for another language course. (Original) Ich habe Online den Englisch C1 Prüfungsvorbereitungskurs bei M.Fioravanti besucht und habe rasch viel neues gelernt. Die verschiedenen Prüfungsteile wurden genau angeschaut und wir konnten die einzelnen Punkte bei Schwierigkeiten genauer besprechen bzw repetieren. Für einen weiteren Sprachkurs würde ich wieder Vox-Sprachschulen wählen.
(Translated by Google) Academically trained teachers, pleasant learning environment, somewhat thin walls in the building. I can highly recommend the school :) (Original) akademisch ausgebildete Lehrer, angenehmes Unterrichtsklima, ein wenig dünne Wände im Gebäude. Die Schule kann ich nur empfehlen :)
(Translated by Google) A very good teacher who explains things wonderfully. Thank you, I highly recommend her. (Original) Muy buena profesora y explica estupendamente gracias lo recomiendo
The teacher Polina was very professional, and always found a way to breakdown even the most complex gramatical topics, so we could have a clear understanding.
I had the chance to try two different German schools in Zurich, each with its own pricing and approach. Although both were good in their respective segments, I found Vox especially impressive for its pleasant learning environment and excellent facilities. From the start, I was supported by Maria, who made my onboarding smooth and welcoming. Later, I had the privilege of learning with Professor Alexander, who truly goes above and beyond for his students. He makes learning fun and engaging, adapting his methods to ensure everyone understands. What really stood out to me about this school is that you genuinely feel they care about their students and are not just running a business. For example, there were times I couldn’t attend class, and Alexander kindly offered one-on-one sessions to help me keep up with my classmates. Overall, I highly recommend Vox to anyone looking for a supportive, student-focused German learning experience in Zurich.
Great experience. Followed the B1 German course during Corona time and I am impressed by the flexibility of the school and the teacher Priska. The general quality of the course is very good and very personal. Priska is a great teacher - and will definitely recommend her and Vox schule! Thanks! Pieter Laban
