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.
Really excellent teaching method and class size makea this a great school. Teachers of top quality. Supplies for students such bottled mineral water is free. Great managers and staff which are very helpful with issues. Highly recommended.
I have tried other schools before but I felt confident to start speaking in Vox-Sprachschule lessons. I really took advantage of the learning time trying to comunicate in German. That was possible thanks to Polina, an amazing teacher, super dinamic, with strong focus on speaking and without loosing the joy and fun while learning. Also the school is very flexible to attend students needs. Unspected, i needed to change shifts and there was an option so they solved it really fast. I would really like to continue my learning there!
(Translated by Google) I took an intensive online course with Ruth, who is a very professional teacher, and I'm very happy with the results. I also took the Telc B2 German exam at VOX Language School and was very pleased with the opportunity. I highly recommend it.

I began my journey of learning German at VOX-Sprachschule Winterthur at the A2 level, and it has been an incredible experience. The school has well-structured courses and thoughtfully prepared materials that supported my learning at every step. I noticed significant progress in my skills almost immediately, which motivated me to continue with confidence and aim for the B2 level in the future. The administrative team was extremely responsive to any questions, whether communicated via telephone or email. Our teacher, Daniel Margiotta, was exceptional—humble, professional, and assertive in his teaching approach. I truly appreciate his dedication and the effort he put into making the lessons engaging and effective. I am deeply grateful for his support and would highly recommend VOX-Sprachschule to anyone looking to improve their German.
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

Very competent course teacher, learned more than expected for the short time spent, easy and quick comunication, realy good organised(Sign up, course management, support, books, hours)
I felt so good with the school that I just can't go without leaving a big thank you! Manager is very friendly and helpful, I explained my situation and he quickly found what I need and even gave me useful tips! Everything was super fast, I felt like a VIP customer here. More over, I had a free trial lesson with Camille, who is an increadibly competent teacher, ( being a teacher in high school I can really say a word) and in one hour I discovered new vocabulary, practised listening and speaking in french and she shared material so I can repeat at home. Huge respect and gratitude! Sincerely recommended school!
I will highly recommend this school, the teacher is very good. She is very clear when she explains topic matters and also is patient. I feel motivated during every lesson.
Very positive experience, I could see a clear improvement of my german level after doing the A2 course. Very competent teachers and a strong focus on speaking which is the best way to fill confident in actually speaking the language. I recommend!
I would like to express my satisfaction with the school in general and my German teacher, Ms. Olga Chincholle, in particular. Starting from a prompt and highly organized reception and course orientation, followed by professionalism of my teacher - everything is perfect so far. The most important is the fact, that the course is fully oriented towards my personal level and needs. I'm glad to have this experience!

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.
