My teacher Yana has been so supporting throughout the course and helped me improve my German giving me more confidence to speak 😊💪🏻
For professional reasons, I enrolled in the course with a ''private'' teacher, Joline. My goal was to be able to erase some mistakes I kept repeating and to hone my skills in dative and accusative. The course was useful, I saw progress in a short time as well as finding a professional, friendly and flexible instructor(Time). I can recommend the course
Superb school and a dynamic one!!! They have great teachers! I recommend the school for its very good quality and you will learn a lot. A tip! you can ask for an English certificate!
(Translated by Google) I took the online English C1 exam preparation course with M. Fioravanti and learned a lot very quickly. The different parts of the exam were examined in detail, and we were able to discuss and review individual points in more detail if I had any difficulties. I would definitely choose Vox language schools again for another language course. (Original) Ich habe Online den Englisch C1 Prüfungsvorbereitungskurs bei M.Fioravanti besucht und habe rasch viel neues gelernt. Die verschiedenen Prüfungsteile wurden genau angeschaut und wir konnten die einzelnen Punkte bei Schwierigkeiten genauer besprechen bzw repetieren. Für einen weiteren Sprachkurs würde ich wieder Vox-Sprachschulen wählen.

I have had great experiences with Vox. I have taken the A1 and A2 courses. Both instructors have been thorough and practiced excellent pedagogical techniques. I highly recommend this language school.
I started studying German with Patrick last year, A1 level. I fully recommend him as a teacher. He works with passion, his lessons are interactive and very productive. I am now attending the A2 course and I am very satisfied.
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.
