Course Description
The Cambridge Advanced exam (formerly known as CAE) corresponds to the C1 level (second highest) of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and is accepted by English-speaking universities worldwide. At the C1 level you will be able to communicate successfully at a professional level with a high level of fluency.
Our small class sizes (3-5 students) ensure a lot of individual attention. In such small groups your teacher is able to adapt to any individual needs and requests you may have. The course will help you to expand your vocabulary, fill any grammar gaps and communicate in a more nuanced way.
Materials specially designed for exam preparation will be used to train your ability to accurately answer the type of questions asked in this exam. You will also practise all the different text types required in the written exam. By the end of the exam you will be fully prepared to sit your exam with confidence.

For a number of years I have tried many different schools and teachers. With Vox and Yana (the best German teacher I’ve ever had), I now enjoy learning it. Highly recommend the private lessons for professional who want to have flexibility but still effective lessons.
Learning language at your own pace in friendly environment. Very good teachers with excellent management. Small groups so that teachers are more focused on individuals. What else to say, im really impressed with the learning culture here.
Amazing :)
I highly recommend taking your German classes at VOX. And even more so I recommend requesting Alexander Lips as your teacher. Over the last year or so I've taken a few classes with Alexander (B1, B2, C1) and I've waited to make a review as I've been gate keeping his greatness. He is the best language instructor I've ever had and the most passionate. It is hard to stay motivated to study a language and it's hard to attend an evening course after work. But this isn't the case in Alexander's class. His expertise is inspiring. The course was completely tailored to our goals and our motivations. We explored poetry, books and presentations, all of which was frankly fun and enriching. We learned grammar, practiced speaking and reading, all while learning about history and art. I can also say I've read two books in German now which is super satisfying and it also gives me more to talk about to my friends in German. If anything I wish I had more time to learn and take advantage of Alexander's great instruction. Another very unique skill of Alexander's is his deep understanding of etymology and applying the skill to make words stick in your mind. He can break down words into components to then make connections to others words, languages, history, or stories. He shows the patterns to look for to do the same. There are words I'll never forget because he took the time to really give us the depth of the word. Such a talent to have! Huge thank you to VOX for such great organization and a huge thank you to Alexander for all the work and care he puts in his instruction. So, if you've read to here you should really go register already for a course!
Best school and best teachers in Zurich to learn a new language. If you want to learn German like me - ask for Elly - she is the best teacher by far. "Don't stop learning"
(Translated by Google) I took the A1 module with Professor Yana and it is certainly the best of all!! The school's method is very busy, which means it's not for everyone, but with Yana's classes twice a week, I felt very encouraged to speak the language (German), in addition to her teaching skills being great. All teachers have linguistic knowledge. (Original) Fiz o módulo A1 com a professora Yana e certamente é a melhor de todas!! O método da escola é bem corrido, o que significa que não é para qualquer um, mas com as aulas da Yana duas vezes por semana, me senti muito estimulada a falar o idioma (alemão), além da didática dela ser ótima. Conhecimento linguístico todos os professores têm.
Had the best learning experience here! Was very lucky to be assigned to class of 2 students (including me) and have Kenny as my teacher here for my A1 class who make each class so fun and not as hard as i thought (not to mention he studies linguistic and multiple languange too, so he's super knowledgable and knows how to explain things from different POV of languanges). Location of the school is very strategic, only 7-8 mins walking distance from station. Classroom always tidy and nice. Love!
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.
Very nice school with a nice and flexible teachers :)
(Translated by Google) I really liked the course. Our teacher Leah responded very well to our goals and needs and managed to reconcile them. I made the most progress in speaking. The many conversations during the lessons have enabled me to speak more fluently and have expanded my active vocabulary. With Leah we often looked at the origin of words, the exact meaning and the “area of use” of new words, which made it much easier for me to remember and understand them. Leah's attentive and personable way of teaching suited me very well. I would go to her class again in a heartbeat. I can't immediately think of anything that could have been done better, except perhaps that we didn't receive the books until the middle of the course, which firstly wasn't your fault and secondly it wasn't that much of a problem. Leah managed it great :) (Original) Der Kurs hat mir richtig gut gefallen. Unsere Lehrerin Leah ist super auf unsere Ziele und Bedürfnisse eingegangen und hat es geschafft diese unter einen Hut zu bringen. Den grössten Fortschritt habe ich beim Sprechen gemacht. Die vielen Unterhaltungen während den Lektionen haben es mir ermöglicht nun einiges fliessender sprechen zu können und hat meinen aktiven Wortschatz erweitert. Wir haben mit Leah oft die Wortherkunft, die genaue Bedeutung und den „Verwendungsbereich“ von neuen Vokabeln angeschaut, was es mir enorm erleichtert hat mir diese zu merken und zu verstehen. Leahs aufmerksame und sympathische Art zu unterrichten hat sehr gut zu mir gepasst. Ich würde sofort wieder zu ihr in den Unterricht gehen. Gerade spontan kommt mir nichts in den Sinn, das man hätte besser machen können, ausser vielleicht dass wir die Bücher erst Mitte des Kurses erhalten haben, was erstens nicht euer Fehler war und zweitens gar nicht so gestört hat. Leah hat das super gemanagt :)
Super! You can contact them for anything you need and the teacher is really really patient in explaining or re-explaining all the points that you don’t get.
(Translated by Google) I am very happy to do my course at VOX, very dynamic and with a lot of conversation. (Original) Ich bin sehr froh, meinen Kurs bei VOX zu machen, sehr dynamisch und mit viel Konversation.
