(Translated by Google) Entertaining and highly recommended lessons with a focus on verbal communication. Both the teachers and the course managers were always very courteous and helpful. (Original) Unterhaltsamer und empfehlenswerter Unterricht mit Fokus auf die verbale Kommunikation. Sowohl die Lehrpersonen, als auch die Kurs-Managerinnen waren immer sehr zuvorkommenden und hilfreich.
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
(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
Great language school with amazing teachers! I can especially recommended Sabrina and Felicity, both very professional and friendly, explain everything in a great detail, encourage to talk and help you to pronounce words correctly. The admin staff also very accommodating and helpful.
The course fully met my expectations. Highly skilled teacher and good organization allowing to effectively reschedule classes when needed. Recommended.
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) About eight months ago, I had the pleasure of studying with Olga Chincholle. She's a fantastic teacher who truly cares about her students. Evgenia Golandskaya, who organized everything, was also fantastic! They both made my time there a positive experience. I thank them both sincerely! (Original) Vor etwa 8 Monaten hatte ich das Vergnügen, unter Olga Chincholle zu lernen. Sie ist eine grossartige Lehrerin, die sich wirklich um ihre Schüler kümmert. Auch Evgenia Golandskaya, die alles organisiert hat, war fantastisch! Beide haben meine Zeit dort zu einer positiven Erfahrung gemacht. Ich danke ihnen beiden herzlich!
(Translated by Google) Last fall, I attended private French lessons for several weeks and was very satisfied with the support and preparation provided by the teacher. We structured the course very dynamically and focused on speaking. He was able to identify individual weaknesses and focus on them, while also being able to confidently and effectively answer frequently asked questions about the French language. I can definitely recommend the language school without reservation! (Original) Im letzten Herbst habe ich über mehrere Wochen Privatstunden in Französisch besucht und war mit der Betreuung und Vorbereitungs des Sprachlehrers sehr zufrieden. Wir haben den Kurs sehr dynamisch ausgestaltet und den Fokus aufs Sprechen gelegt. Dabei hat er einerseits individuelle Schwächen erkannt und darauf den Lernfokus gelegt und andererseits konnte er immer wieder auftauchende Spontanfragen zur französischen Sprache stets souverän und gut beantworten. Kann die Sprachschule auf jeden Fall uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen!
Excellent school! One of the best schools I had the pleasure to work with, great teachers, attention to detail and demands! Very well prepared teachers, prompt in answering, great learning experience! Thank you Vox and Elisaveta Savina! Highly recommend!
Great course and wonderful approach! I was looking forward to every lesson :) I highly recommend it also for complete begginers
I learnt Russian with Vox-Sprachschule. Currently I learn German and Arabic with them. They have very professional teachers, and individual flexible approach to students. I'd especially like to recommend Mr Botchkarev as a teacher to people who think they are bad at learning languages. Mr. Botchkarev will not only teach you the language, but also will learn you how to learn languages.
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.
