Excellent!
After a long research I found Vox sprachschule and it is definitely the best language course in Zurich. I have been taking English B2 course for 3 months and I definitely recommend it to everyone, I have benefited a lot. Mariia Fedorova is a very warm-blooded and very instructive teacher and I recommend you to take lessons from her if you have the opportunity.
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.
Good lecturer with excellent teaching skills which pinpointed our pronunciation / grammar / vocab mistakes whenever we are practising German conversation.
Highly recommend 😊 After changing various school to learn German, in Vox I had the opportunity to get intensive and super-intensive courses with great teachers. The most advantageous is that all classes are hold with 3-5 people strictly which is the perfect number in order the tuition to be efficient.
Great learning experience! I recommend this school to anybody who wants to get a step forward with his/her speaking skills. Class size of 3 to 5 students allows you to take advantage of every minute of the lessons.
The lessons are very methodical and well planned. The instructor is well prepared and thorough. I learned in a very warm and supportive environment that Sophie offered to us. I am very satisfied with the course, , the instructor, the schedule and the curriculum.
Amazing experience with VOX completing A1 course in Deutsch. The teacher Joline was incredible, I would give 10 stars if I could. She is extremely patient, supportive, and always creates a comfortable learning environment where it feels safe to make mistakes and ask questions. Her lessons are well-structured, engaging, and tailored to my level and learning goals. What I appreciated most is how clearly she explains grammar and provide practical examples that make it easier to understand and remember. She also really encourages speaking practice, which helped me gain confidence and improve my standard that much faster. Overall, I highly recommend this teacher to anyone looking for a professional, motivating, and friendly German language instructor.
The school's own method used by all of its teachers focuses on pronunciation as well as on the vocabulary and grammar needed to be able to communicate within days of starting a course. This is further emphasized by the small size of the groups and the possibility of attending individual lessons, both of which allow the students' needs to be met. Working here is one of the best decisions I have made in my life so far. If you want or need to learn a language, this really is the place to go.
Great school and a fantastic service! A+
I am very happy with my experience at VOX.The one-to-one lessons are exactly what I was looking for: a personalised course focused on conversation but also fun and interesting . My teacher Isabelle is very competent and supportive, she has helped me a lot to feel more confident in German and to enjoy speaking and learning the language :)
My teacher Joline was extremely professional, well prepared and attentive to all my needs. I recommend to each person who wants to improve their language skill to apply to VOX
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.
