Switzerland is a country of service and VOX School shows exactly why. The teachers and coordinators are very professional and generally care about their students' learning experience. The smaller groups make the classes more personal, as if having a private tutor. After taking 3 courses here, I can confidently say that it was the best choice I made.
Really excellent. My teacher Ruben is very dedicated to classes, very competent and willing to teach. I certainly know more than I could ever imagine learning. there is a lot of conversation during class and the number of students helps to make the environment more relaxed for learning.
(Translated by Google) I am very satisfied and happy with the Vox language school. The teacher is very nice and friendly. (Original) Ich bin sehr zufrieden und glücklich mit dem Vox Sprachschule .Sehr nette und freundliche Lehrerin.

I had online German course B2 level . There were only 3 people in our class, so I had a lot more chance to talk in German. My teacher Isabel was very professional and friendly, I would definitely recommend her for the lesson. She always gave us the homeworks and sent us back correted answer quickly which helped me a lot as well. It costs quite a lot, but as there are not many students in a class, so it was worth it. Unfortunately, there was no administrations office in Winterthur branch, so it seems all enquries are done only with email or the telephone. But Administrative person calling me back in a short time.
(Translated by Google) Academically trained teachers, pleasant learning environment, somewhat thin walls in the building. I can highly recommend the school :) (Original) akademisch ausgebildete Lehrer, angenehmes Unterrichtsklima, ein wenig dünne Wände im Gebäude. Die Schule kann ich nur empfehlen :)
I took the A1 and A2 German classes at VOX and I quickly changed my perception from "I have to learn German" to "I want to learn German". It was a pleasure taking these classes. Alexander Lips is a great teacher, who makes German learning fun and interactive, always adapting to each student's needs. As a result, I passed the fide A2 test with a great score and will continue with B1 course at VOX with the same Alexander the great.
I started studying German with Patrick last year, A1 level. I fully recommend him as a teacher. He works with passion, his lessons are interactive and very productive. I am now attending the A2 course and I am very satisfied.
I feel that I am moving towards my goals, and that Priska is a great teacher. I get plenty of speaking practice, which is super. Priska makes sure that I Get the necessary grammatical exercises, and she is great at explaining the grammatical rules.
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.
For my experience as student pf multiple Languages in multiple countries I find the quality of VOX really outstanding. I had 2 different teachers and they were both very very good and prepared.
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.
