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 have been going to vox from A2 High German to C1. After this course it was important for me to integrate more into the Swiss German language. I started taking private courses in swiss German and after a couple months I am starting to speak and type in swiss German to my colleagues at work which has brought about a positive impact in all of our relationships. My initial goal, even in A2, was to integrate better into swiss culture and I feel much more accepted when I try to speak swiss German even when it's not perfect. The language is not easy, but I have really enjoyed learning and practicing with my colleagues and friends. With the private tutor I am able to be very flexible with my schedule. If I have business trips we skip a week, or we can move days around as required. So overall I have had a very great and positive experience at Vox and have already recommended to 4 of my friends who are also expats to take the same courses.
(Translated by Google) I took an intensive online course with Ruth, who is a very professional teacher, and I'm very happy with the results. I also took the Telc B2 German exam at VOX Language School and was very pleased with the opportunity. I highly recommend it. (Original) Ich habe einen Online-Intensivkurs mit Ruth belegt, die eine sehr professionelle Lehrerin ist und ich bin sehr zufrieden mit den Ergebnissen. Ich habe auch die Deutschprüfung Telc B2 bei VOX - Sprachschule gemacht und habe mich sehr gefreut über diese Gelegenheit. Ich kann es jedem empfehlen.
I just finished my A2 course and I’m starting my B1 course today. VOX Schule is the best language school in town!! The location is very convenient. The class sizes are small and manageable. For the price you can get great discounts. The teachers are very professional and organised Shoutout to the best teacher Mr. Ruben. He’s very respectful and compassionate. His lessons were entertaining, informative and engaging. He made sure that every student understands. My German has greatly improved. Mr. Ruben Thank you so much for your great work. Thank you VOX and Ms. Aida for your help and guidance in getting the information about the courses, scheduling and the application process. It was such a great learning experience and I look forward to learning more and growing confident in speaking German.
They are best in their profession... :) <3
Excellent!
(Translated by Google) I attended the B2 and C1 courses at Vox. I find the method using the book "Erkunde" (Explorations) effective. It incorporates many group conventions, and the exercises in the book are at a higher level. Our teacher, Priska, with whom I completed two course levels, was fantastic! 👍 Personal motivation is also necessary to achieve this. (Original) Ich habe den B2- und C1-Kurs bei vox besucht. Ich finde die Methode mit dem Buch Erkundungen effektiv. Es gibt viele Gruppenkonventionen und die Übungen im Buch sind auf einem höheren Niveau. Unsere Lehrerin Priska mit der ich zwei Kursstufen absolvieren konnte, war super! 👍 Eigene Motivation ist ebenfalls notwendig, um dies zu erreichen .
Most excellent place to learn German I have found. Good mix of teaching and speaking practice.
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) The VOX school is highly recommended; it has very good, dedicated teachers. (Original) Die VOX Schule ist empfehlenswert, hat sehr gute, engagierte Lehrer.
Big fan of Vox. I attended 3 courses here so far, and plan on attending more. Location is great, teachers are very knowledgeable and a lot of them have a background in linguistics. The class size is the great, I usually had 3 or 4 people in my classes.
VOX is not the cheapest language school in Zurich, but the quality makes it worth the price. The teachers (such as Joline) are well-qualified and kind, and the small class size and mindful composition is much appreciated. Their administration has also been swiftly responsive to any scheduling or other issues raised.
As someone with learning difficulties I find languages very difficult. I have private lessons in person and Fabian, my teacher, has helped so much in all aspects of my German. The lessons are interesting, fun and after a few years struggling to improve I have finally seen a difference. If you are looking for in person lessons I can heartily recommend
