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 had a wonderful experience with this German school! The customer service was exceptional, and the classes were tailored to my individual level. What really stood out to me was how engaging the teachers were - not only did they use practical examples to supplement the typical grammar learning approach, but they also made the classes incredibly entertaining. Overall, I highly recommend this school to anyone looking to improve their German language skills! I’ve now started Italian classes with Marcella, and she’s fantastic. Whether you go for German or Italian, both the courses and teachers are great. The price is on the higher side, but the quality fully justifies it.
(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.

I am extremely satisfied with Laura’s lessons. I loved her method and I improved a lot. The course was perfect with her, she is a great teacher and I am truly thankful to her for what I have learned. I would definitely recommend VOX Schule to other people. Small classes for qualitative results.
(Translated by Google) The Vox Language School is fantastic! It's been my best language learning experience so far. I took my B1 German course and private lessons at the Winterthur location. My teacher was Olga, and she's now my absolute favorite teacher! The lessons were well-structured and always fun. Learning languages isn't easy, but Olga made it easy and interesting for me. Thank you so much to Vox and to Olga! (Original) Die Vox Sprachschule ist fantastisch! Das war bis jetzt meine beste Erfahrung beim Sprachenlernen. Ich habe meinen B1-Deutsch-Kurs und Privatunterricht am Standort Winterthur gemacht. Meine Lehrerin war Olga, sie ist jetzt meine absolute Lieblingslehrerin!

I have a pleasure to be a student of Isabelle and it’s the best language learning experience I have ever got. Professionalism, passion, friendliness, openness, effectiveness! I highly recommend!
Professional service, excellent teacher! Strongly recommend
I would like to express my satisfaction with the school in general and my German teacher, Ms. Olga Chincholle, in particular. Starting from a prompt and highly organized reception and course orientation, followed by professionalism of my teacher - everything is perfect so far. The most important is the fact, that the course is fully oriented towards my personal level and needs. I'm glad to have this experience!
I have done my A1 and A2 language courses with Yana. She is a very professional teacher and I learned a lot thanks to her. Great learning experience!
Being a teacher at VOX is a very rich and joyful experience. The VOX method allows the students to get to meet a language from one of the most important sides of it – speaking. Back in the days, when I was learning English and French, a method such as the VOX-method would have helped me a lot and I would have loved to get to know it earlier. VOX provides a learning atmosphere that gives the students a chance to learn a language with a lot of motivation. One of the many advantages is also that the school is located right next to the main train station and that is very convenient both for the students and the teachers.
My experience with VOX was fantastic. I did a 2 month private online course with Isabel and I was amazed at how much I actually learned in such a short time. She is a very skilled teacher and the lessons were always relaxed and friendly. When I struggled with some of the concepts she was able to really explain the intricate details In an easy way that really helped me progress and really understand what I was learning. I will definitely continue on with VOX and Isabel, I highly recommend their services for learning German.
