I was taking individual classes and I had good teacher during the training. More focus on practical learning vs. overkill with grammar.
(Translated by Google) I took part in the online intensive German course level C1 and am completely satisfied with my experience at the Vox language school. Communication with the secretariat was always friendly, quick and very helpful. The teacher was not only very competent, but also always available. The intensive course has 3 lessons of 120 minutes each per week, but students should plan plenty of study hours between lessons. In class, the grammar rules are repeated, exercises for text comprehension and listening comprehension are carried out and pronunciation is improved. The teacher assigns written or oral tasks for the whole class, but if you have great difficulty with certain topics, you will also be helped with individual tasks. The written work is also corrected every time and this helps a lot when preparing for the written part of the exam. (Original) Ich habe an dem Online-Intensiv-Deutschkurs Niveau C1 teilgenommen und bin mit meiner Erfahrung bei der Vox-Sprachschule voll und ganz zufrieden. Die Kommunikation mit dem Sekretariat war immer freundlich, schnell und sehr hilfreich. Die Lehrerin war nicht nur sehr kompetent, sondern immer verfügbar. Beim Intensivkurs gibt es 3 Unterrichtsstunden à 120 Minuten pro Woche, aber die Studentinnen/Studenten sollen viele Lernstunden zwischen den Unterrichtsstunden einplanen. Im Unterricht werden die Grammatikregeln wiederholt, Übungen zum Textverständnis und Hörverständnis durchgeführt und die Aussprache verbessert. Die Lehrerin vergibt jeweils schriftliche oder mündliche Aufgaben für die ganze Klasse, aber, wenn Man große Schwierigkeiten mit bestimmten Themen hat, wird ihm auch bei einzelnen Aufgaben geholfen. Die schriftlichen Arbeiten werden auch jedes Mal korrigiert und das hilft sehr bei der Vorbereitung auf den schriftlichen Teil der Prüfung.
They are best in their profession!!!
(Translated by Google) I completed an online one-on-one course in English level B2 and am very satisfied. Communication with the teacher is very easy and I benefited enormously. The school works very professionally and the course has a logical structure and good school materials. Very motivating. Thanks to the VOX language school! (Original) Habe einen Online Einzel-Kurs absolviert in Englisch Level B2 und bin sehr zufrieden. Die Kommunikation mit der Lehrerin ist sehr einfach und ich habe extrem profitiert. Die Schule arbeitet sehr professionell und der Kurs hat einen logischen Aufbau und gute Schulmaterialien. Sehr motivierend. Danke an die VOX Sprachschule!
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.
I had the privilege to meet my teachers Kenny and Alex and learn German in a proactive and fun way. They inspired me to continously improve my german skills and not be afraid of speaking a new language. They always accommodated with the needs of the students and really emerge us in the culture and language. I recommend VOX to anybody that wants to learn German.
VOX is not only a different school for people who want to learn a new language, but for teachers as well! Small groups, tailored courses and a focus on speaking provied a unique experience for everyone. I'm honoured to be part of the team!
Had such a good experience with VOX. I e-mailed them very last-minute and they were able to get me in to lessons extremely quickly and were very prompt in their replies. My teacher, Isabelle, has been amazing - I have progressed extremely quickly under her guidance, and have had a great deal of fun doing it. I would wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend her and VOX.
(Translated by Google) Very professional......the teacher is very nice and not far from Zurich HB. I can recommend that! 👍🏻 (Original) Sehr professionell......die Lehrerin ist sehr nette und nicht weit weg vom Zürich HB. Das kann ich weiter empfehlen! 👍🏻
I am currently learning Norwegian and I have to say this school is the best. My teacher, Kirsten, has a lot of patience and she explains everything good and clear. I am satisfied with the course ( couldn’t be better organised - full flexibility ). I would definitely recommend it.
(Translated by Google) I can recommend them. (Original) Je peux les recommander.
I have just finished my Second Course with VOX Language school in Winterthur and I will be coming back for more in Winter 2022. Olga is a fantastic teacher working through the course at a good pace. She makes sure everyone gets a chance to talk during the class and makes a really nice atmosphere. If you are thinking of doing a course don't hesitate just book it. I highly recommend Vox.

Learning English in Zurich: Where should I start?
As Zurich is rapidly evolving into a largely international city, there seems to be no way around finally learning the English language. As a consequence of this, the number of possible courses has also increased, which complicates the process of finding the ideal course for your personal learning targets even further. But where do you start when you cannot see the wood for the trees? In order to learn a language as efficiently and goal oriented as possible a wide range of key factors should be covered, for example personal learning targets, time planning, group size, teachers’ professionalism, and ample speaking opportunities. At VOX, we highly value helping you to speak confidently with the help of our self-developed teaching method – and this without wasting your precious time (and money).
The teacher: the ideal profile
Finding an English course in Zurich usually does not pose a challenge. This can unfortunately not be rendered true when looking for the ideal teacher. Throughout the process of choosing the perfect teacher for you, it is crucial to pay close attention to appropriate qualifications. It is often the case that native speakers have mastered English without any difficulties, yet they struggle when trying to make the underlying structure of a language tangible for their students. The result: an endless game of unspecific explanations, dull grammar exercises, and tremendous frustration. How are you supposed to acquire English with all its nuances, when the teacher merely learned the language by imitating other native speakers?
And what can you do when the teacher is indeed qualified, but the chemistry is just not right? For this reason, our success management team will reach out to you throughout the progression of your English course to ensure the highest quality possible. Open and regular communication with our students is thus essential, as nobody else but you can communicate best if you are pleased with your course and moving closer to your goals day by day. If it is in fact the case that you do not see eye to eye with your teacher, our team at VOX Zurich will help you find a more suitable teacher and the ideal solution for you as quickly as possible.
Group size: a lack of speaking results in a lack of learning
Essential key factors for successful learning cannot be implemented in big groups due to logistical factors, which especially prevents regular opportunities for active speaking. At worst, students feel lost in big groups and can only be supported toa minor degree by their teacher. For our English courses in Zurich, we thus consciously form groups of only max. five students. The teacher is therefore able to focus on your personal needs and the course is specifically tailored and adjusted to your individual learning process. Our small group sizes enable a speedy acquisition of the target language, which results in you being able to use English flexibly and confidently in various everyday situations within a short amount of time.
Our target-oriented lesson design without overcrowded classrooms is also reflected in our course planning. Your learning process is considerably accelerated due to close collaboration with your teacher, which makes it possible to cover a full level in just 1-3 months. As a result, sublevels such as A.1, A.2, A.3 etc. become redundant. It is not going to be necessary to book pricey continuation courses, as you enjoy the undivided attention of your teacher and complex structures are explained using a clearly structured teaching method.
Motivation and psychological barriers: Feeling stuck when speaking English?
You have now finally found your ideal English course, but still feel not confident enough to actually speak your target language. You are constantly wondering what the reason for this could be? The issue might sound rather complicated but can be easily solved: psychological barriers. These barriers, which significantly impact and impede your learning process, only develop in adolescence. For this reason, children do not seem to face any issues when learning languages and they integrate highly complex structures effortlessly into their preexisting language system. Our team at VOX is highly aware of these psychological challenges and has developed special strategies to actively counteract these barriers, making English speaking as easy as winking.
Just as important as bursting these psychological barriers is targeting one’s intrinsic motivation. Learning a new language is indeed time-consuming and can easily fall into the background due to various personal reasons. In order to perpetuate your motivation and avoid a vicious circle of frustration from the onset, we define your personal motivation in the first lesson with you, as well as your individual learning objectives. Throughout your course, we are constantly pursuing your goals with the help of efficient and scientifically proven strategies.
Personal learning targets: Improving your English level or rather striving for an official certificate?
English course does not equal English course. When looking for an English course it is crucial to pay close attention to your personal learning targets. Most people pursue the goal of improving their level in general to ensure smooth communication within the English language. However, you would rather like to prepare for an official exam (e.g. Cambridge Certificate) or improve certain terminology for your everyday life at work? At VOX, we can provide enough flexibility to actively tackle specific areas of the English language, which is mainly the result of our small group sizes – as always with the full attention and support of the teacher.
Central location: Nobody likes travelling for hours
Living and working in Zurich can indeed be hectic. Often, it already proves to be difficult to integrate an English course into an already busy schedule. The location of VOX Zurich could however not be more central, as the school is located right at Zurich Central in the historic Polybahn building. VOX Zurich can also be reached by foot in only a few minutes from Zurich Main Station. You urgently have to go on a business trip, or you would like to visit your family? Thanks to our innovative digital board you can continue attending your English course, irrespective of your own location. Consequently, nothing seems to be standing in the way of successfully learning the English language – and this can be taken literally.

Many people struggle to learn English 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.
