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.
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.
(Translated by Google) I've been attending the C1 German course at VOX Language School for a month now and I'm very satisfied. My goal was to improve my spoken communication, and I'm already seeing significant progress in my fluency. Our teacher addresses our individual goals, and we're learning many useful expressions that are perfectly suited to our level. It's especially helpful that we get to practice speaking a lot in class. Highly recommended! (Original) Ich besuche seit einem Monat den C1-Deutschkurs bei VOX Sprachschule und bin sehr zufrieden. Mein Ziel war es, meine mündliche Kommunikation zu verbessern, und ich sehe bereits deutliche Fortschritte in meiner Sprachflüssigkeit. Unser Lehrer geht auf unsere persönlichen Ziele ein, und wir lernen viele nützliche Ausdrücke, die wirklich zum Niveau passen. Besonders hilfreich ist, dass wir im Unterricht viel sprechen können. Sehr empfehlenswert!
Great experience. Followed the B1 German course during Corona time and I am impressed by the flexibility of the school and the teacher Priska. The general quality of the course is very good and very personal. Priska is a great teacher - and will definitely recommend her and Vox schule! Thanks! Pieter Laban
I am American and was on vacation when I recently took a month of biweekly B1 German classes with VOX school in Zurich. It was a LOVELY experience. I enjoyed the diversity of students, and my teacher, Isabelle, Wegmuller, was absolutely exceptional. She had very original and creative ways of presenting new material and engaging the students. She has an astounding grasp of Hoch Deutsch and a vast well of knowledge about so many different things. The time past so quickly, too quickly, and I learned a lot in just a short period of time. I highly recommend this school, and Isabelle, if you can get her. Well done, VOX and Isabelle.
I took the standard B1 level class (Dienstag und Donnerstag Abendkurs) with Elena. She was a wonderful teacher and taught the grammar rules in a way I really understood. She also consistently corrected my Aussprache, which I appreciated (strong American accent here). Moreover, I was thankful for her help with my special request to prepare me for the Telc B1 test. Furthermore, I liked the availability of the Abendkurs (19:30-21:00) because I was able to attend after work. The standard class also covered a lot of material in 3 months. I recommend it if you can dedicate a generous amount of time to study.
Great school with individual approach, small groups and great teachers🤗 Loved working with our teacher Elly, really helpful and interesting classes. Definitely recommend this school!
Diego was a great German teacher, always kind, patient, and understanding. He helped me improve a lot, not only by teaching me the language, but especially by helping me use it confidently in real conversations. His lessons were extremely helpful, and I really appreciated his support.
I have loved everything about this Sprachschule, from the structure, to the teacher, to the administration. They are very quick at responding, very kind, and efficient. I have been in contact with different staff members, Ekaterina and Maria, and they have both been amazing. In addition, my teacher Yvonne is always energetic and helpful, encouraging us to speak and listening with so much patience. I am so happy to be continuing with them and would recommend it to anyone. I do feel like my German is already so much better.
(Translated by Google) The VOX school is highly recommended; it has very good, dedicated teachers. (Original) Die VOX Schule ist empfehlenswert, hat sehr gute, engagierte Lehrer.
Wonderful school, very convenient location and experienced teachers! I took 3 courses here (A1, A2, B1) and passed the B1 test without any problems, even though in the last month I did almost no homework. Many thanks to the teachers for their genuine interest and friendly atmosphere.
Great german lessons which really helped me learn fast. Our teacher was excellent at explaining everything and made each lesson fun and interesting! Would definitely recommend.

Course Description
If you are ready to sit your first intermediate level exam for German, then this course is for you. This course is also perfect for those who want to gain Swiss citizenship and need to prove that they have B1-level speaking skills or for your C-permit.
In this course, you will progress from a basic to an independent user of German and you will be able to deal with most daily situations in German. Your experienced teacher will help you to improve your language skills and also develop strategies for tackling the different parts of the exam. Our classes are small (3-5 people). This small size means your teacher can adapt to you and your needs. This exam preparation course will cover all parts of the exam: reading comprehension, listening comprehension, language elements (vocabulary and grammar), writing and, naturally, VOX’s specialty, speaking, and will familiarise you with the structure of each section. By using Telc-specific exam preparation materials you will be fully prepared for the exam by the end of the course.

Many people struggle to learn German 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.
