Very professional approach, great learning method, effective lessons, welcoming atmosphere and a super friendly & always very well prepared teacher (Kudos to Elin) on the Züüritüütsch-Kurs! Extremely client focused, fulfilling individual requests. Highly recommended!
Our experience with VOX Language School has been nothing short of amazing. We enrolled for an A2 German course in February and it was the best decision we made. Tri, our teacher has been super patient, always asking us for feedback and constantly adjusting the course to our level and needs. He has provided us with a lot of resources to practice German, on top of the book and I really enjoy his teaching method. The communication with everyone at the school has been great! I would recommend this school to anyone looking to learn a new language or improve their current level.
(Translated by Google) Great school. Nora is the best! (Original) Super Schule. Nora ist die Beste!
I understand the language way better than before because my teacher could explain why things were the way they were . I’ve had a lot of experience with teachers just Saying: “ it’s just that way.” But here that was not the case. I really enjoyed the lessons. Thank you Elena
My wife and I took online private lessons at Vox. Our sole aim was to pass the B1 Goethe test in all modules. Yvonne Vogt was our teacher and she was simply brilliant! Yvonne ordered the right materials for us starting from the textbooks to exercises to model exams. She even conducted mock exams for us on the hearing and speaking modules. Both my wife and I passed all modules with high scores. Thank you Yvonne and Vox!
... Bonjour !! I did my private french course here. Teacher Mikaela was so kind and I learned a lots from her not only french language but also daily life situation. Owner and administration team was amazing took care and was flexible. I thinking about continue my class in the future. ... If you are looking for language school in The heart of Zurich, I'm highly recommend.
(Translated by Google) They take care of the students when they can't attend class. The professors and the school administration are professional and friendly. Thank you! (Original) Sie kümmern sich um die Schüler, wenn diese nicht zum Unterricht kommen kann. Die Professoren und die Leitung der Schule sind professionell und freundlich. Danke!
I really like the school. It is organized, my teacher is really good (almost no English during the German class) and there are maximum 5 studens per class, which is important for the learning process.
(Translated by Google) The teachers are passionate and you learn the content quickly (Original) Die Lehrer sind leidenschaftlich gut und man lernt den Inhalt schnell
Vox have been really great ever since my first contact and communication with them. Lilli was really great about helping me to find the right course and get everything set up. I have taken private German lessons with Elly and she has been an amazing teacher. I've never been good at learning languages, she is patient and encouraging, but also gently pushes me to outperform my own expectations and keep my learning moving along. I'm really grateful.
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.
