Pricing
Based on value
The price of a language course is always linked to the group size and the course content. We start group courses with only 2 people (max. 5) and aim to complete one level within one course.
The teacher Priska is a great professional! She makes the lessons very fun, she is very patient and explains very well, I'm very happy with her. Thank you Vox Sprachschule and Aida for being so attentive to every detail and cover the needs of the students.
VOX is not the cheapest language school in Zurich, but the quality makes it worth the price. The teachers (such as Joline) are well-qualified and kind, and the small class size and mindful composition is much appreciated. Their administration has also been swiftly responsive to any scheduling or other issues raised.
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.
(Translated by Google) Responsive staff, professional teachers! (Original) Reaktionsschnelles Personal, professionelle Lehrer!
(Translated by Google) ⭐ 12/10 ⭐ A big thank you to Olga Chicholle for the excellent support! I was really impressed by your friendly manner, commitment and professionalism. You are doing a great job and I hope your boss appreciates your excellent work as well. All the best and continued success! Greetings, Daniel Wojdyla. (Original) ⭐ 12/10 ⭐ Ein großes Dankeschön an Olga Chicholle für die hervorragende Unterstützung! Ihre freundliche Art, Ihr Engagement und Ihre Professionalität haben mich wirklich beeindruckt. Sie machen einen großartigen Job, und ich hoffe, dass Ihr Chef Ihre hervorragende Arbeit ebenso zu schätzen weiß. Alles Gute und weiterhin viel Erfolg! Grüße, Daniel Wojdyla.
I'm currently doing a B1 online German group course and so far the experience has been really great. The teacher (Yulia) is very professional, is fully prepared for each class, makes things interesting by mixing teaching content (text book, youtube videos, poem listening) and most importantly encourages us to speak, speak, speak! Can highly recommend.
I am very happy with Cristina’s courses, she is always very dynamic, always pays attention to both our grammar and pronunciation, and makes all of us practice speaking.
(Translated by Google) I took the super-intensive B1 German course. The flexibility and availability of the management team was fantastic, and together we were able to find the best fit for me. Andersen's teaching methods and explanations were always very clear and simple. His availability, knowledge of languages, and his friendliness created a very pleasant environment. Because it was a small group, everyone always had the opportunity to express their doubts and uncertainties, and Andersen always answered them fully. I was truly satisfied with this course! I can't wait to start the B2 German course! (Original) Ho frequentato il corso B1 super intensivo di tedesco. La flessibilità e la disponibilità della parte manageriale è stata fantastica e insieme siamo riusciti a trovare ciò che per me era meglio. I metodi d'insegnamento di Andersen e le sue spiegazioni sono sempre state chiarissime e semplici. La sua disponibilità, la conoscenza delle lingue e la sua simpatia hanno creato un ambiente molto piacevole. Essendo un gruppo piccolo, ognuno aveva sempre la possibilità di esporre i propri dubbi e incertezze e Andersen ha sempre risposto pienamente a tutto. Sono stato veramente soddisfatto di questo corso! Non vedo l'ora di iniziare il corso B2 di tedesco!
Very personal service, good organization and high quality of the lessons, even if they were taught online. We covered a whole level within one course and I noticed the difference right away in real life conversations!!! Within a few weeks I was able to refresh all the knowledge I already had and actively build on this, which is exactly what my goal was! The lessons were in a small group, which is very nice as you meet new people and can practice together, but the group is still small enough to get personal attention. There is a very good balance between speaking, grammar and vocabulary in every lesson. As part of the course you get a book that is okay (I would like some more grammar explanation in the book, it is mostly exercises), however there are a lot of good exercises that we were not able to cover all during the course, which allows you to keep practicing even after the course. What I appreciated most is the tips from the teacher about common phrases and swiss terms, that only a native speaker can tell you and you definitelly do not get through platforms like DuoLingo that I was using before! All with all definitely very happy I joined the course :)

After living about 10 years in Switzerland and having tried many different language schools, i have finally found a place to hone my German and Swiss German skills. Quite logical teaching method appeals to human brain memorization mechanisms, making language learning so natural, as it used to be with oneself's mother tongue in childhood time. The method is based upon academical linguistic education, as well as personal experience (bilingualism) of the school founder. Many thanks and greetings to Igor!
I just finished my A2 course and I’m starting my B1 course today. VOX Schule is the best language school in town!! The location is very convenient. The class sizes are small and manageable. For the price you can get great discounts. The teachers are very professional and organised Shoutout to the best teacher Mr. Ruben. He’s very respectful and compassionate. His lessons were entertaining, informative and engaging. He made sure that every student understands. My German has greatly improved. Mr. Ruben Thank you so much for your great work. Thank you VOX and Ms. Aida for your help and guidance in getting the information about the courses, scheduling and the application process. It was such a great learning experience and I look forward to learning more and growing confident in speaking German.

Many people struggle to learn French due to psychological barriers preventing them from actively speaking. At VOX-Sprachschule, we have developed a methodology that grants you the possibility to overcome whatever difficulties you may encounter when looking for the most efficient way to learn how to speak. Our teachers will constantly pay attention to your individual learning needs, which is guaranteed to make your experience at VOX-Sprachschule a success story.
Speaking is the most natural function of language. If we compare learning languages to learning an instrument, the key to success is practice - practicing playing or, in the case of languages, speaking. Once the connections between your brain and the muscles responsible for speech are established, you can create beautifully sounding sentences. At VOX-Sprachschule, you will learn to speak actively - understanding, reading, and writing will follow.
