Good teachers trained by Goethe Institute, regular follow-up by Sprachschule, flexibility to adapt the agenda, I am happy with the service and would recommend it
Enrolled on the intensive German course and it has been great fun. Learnt a lot more quickly than I was expecting. The small class format and focus on speaking has really made a difference. The teacher Ruben has been great and is always able to explain concepts in a way that make them more understandable and helps with learning. Definitely recommend Vox Sprachschule for anyone wanting to learn German.
(Translated by Google) Everything went perfectly from the initial contact to the lessons. The teacher was very competent; I learned more than expected in such a short time. Communication and organization were simple and quick. I'm very satisfied. (Original) Vom ersten Kontakt bis zum Unterricht läuft alles perfekt. Sehr kompetente Lehrerin, für die kurze Zeit mehr gelernt als erwartet, einfache und schnelle Kommunikation und Organisation. Bin sehr zufrieden.
I had a great time learning French. Great people
(Translated by Google) I am very satisfied with the online German course. I am even more satisfied with the German teacher, Karl K. Dalitz; he is very competent, friendly, and explains everything very well. If I need another German course in the future, I would gladly take it with Karl K. Dalitz again. Thank you very much. (Original) Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Deutschonlinekurs. Ich bin noch mehr zufrieden mit dem Deutchlehrer Karl K. Dalitz,er ist sehr kompetent,freundlich,erklärt alles sehr gut.Ich würde später gerne wenn ich nochmals einen Deutschkurs brauche wieder gerne bei Karl K.Dalitz machen. Lieben Dank
I attended a private A2 German course online and never had any kind of issue. Teacher (Yana) was very professional and always available for the explanations. I learned a lot attending that course. Likely I'll start another course afther the sommer break.
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.
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!
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 location and very professional and motivated teachers. Have been going there for a year now and can totally recommend it!
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
(Translated by Google) The lessons are both professional and interesting and engaging. My teacher enjoys her work, and I'm happy with my progress. I highly recommend this school. Carlo (Original) Sowohl professioneller, als auch interessanter und spannender Unterricht. Meine Lehererin hat Freude mit ihrer Arbeit, und ich bin zufrieden mit meinen Vorschritten. Ich kann diese Schule nur empfehlen. Carlo
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.
