I've been very impressed with VOX Sprachschule Zürich. I started A1 classes in a small group lesson in February, then the pandemic hit and my courses were moved online. My teacher, Maximiliano (Maxi) Nigg, is fantastic! The classes are challenging but so helpful and my confidence in German continues to grow. I would recommend VOX and specifically Maxi to anyone who is looking to learn German.
Great school and a fantastic service! A+
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 professional and accommodating school. Tobias in particular has been an excellent teacher for the past couple of months.

(Translated by Google) The Vox School helped me a lot with my German. They gave me very good grammar explanations. They have an intensive teaching style, but the results are very good. I hope I can continue learning with the Vox School. 💪🏻 (Original) In der Vox-Schule haben sie mir sehr mit meinem Deutsch geholfen. Sie haben mir sehr gute grammatikalische Erklärungen gegeben. Sie haben eine intensive Art zu unterrichten, aber die Ergebnisse sind sehr gut. Ich hoffe , dass ich mit der Vox Schule weiter lernen kann. 💪🏻
My 14 year old daughter Sophia had great 1:1 lessons for a week before beginning a small group course for a month. The teachers were great and really helped improve her German!
(Translated by Google) Very satisfied! Thank you! I'd gladly order again. (Original) Sehr zufrieden! Danke! Gerne wieder
(Translated by Google) Great school. Nora is the best! (Original) Super Schule. Nora ist die Beste!
Well done from A to Z. First of all, I was impressed by the client service provided by Aida. She was very clear, professional and tried to accomodate my requests. After the trial lesson, I can just confirm the quality and the high level of the teaching provided by Vox. I am currently following an A2 German course with Sabrina. She is really prepared and with a great deal of passion in her job - I can guarantee you that it makes a very big difference when you are learning something new. Price is a bit higher compared to other schooIs, but it is money well spent.
I really like the school. It is organized, my teacher is really good (almost no English during the German class) and there are maximum 5 studens per class, which is important for the learning process.
Quality teaching
Languages
For every language we teach at VOX-Sprachschule, we focus on speaking, as it is the most natural form of communication. Many people concentrate on writing and reading, which prevents them from feeling like they are making progress in their target language. We try to approach this learning process differently: when you train yourself to speak first, grammar simply becomes a tool to support you in your language-learning journey. Reading and writing should come naturally, while speaking needs to be practiced at least 15 minutes a day.
