Super teacher for Swiss German - Silvan Plattner. Highly flexible regarding scheduling, fun lessons, overall very good value and IMO very good improvement of my Swiss German.
(Translated by Google) I really enjoyed Timo's conversation course. In the last 12 lessons, Timo chose many interesting texts and various podcasts on current topics. This kept us very motivated to have conversations. I highly recommend this course. (Original) Der Konversationskurs bei Timo hat mir viele Freude gemacht.

Ich kann diesen Kurs nur weiterempfehlen.

(Translated by Google) I took an intensive online course with Ruth, who is a very professional teacher, and I'm very happy with the results. I also took the Telc B2 German exam at VOX Language School and was very pleased with the opportunity. I highly recommend it.

Ich habe auch die Deutschprüfung Telc B2 bei VOX - Sprachschule gemacht und habe mich sehr gefreut über diese Gelegenheit. Ich kann es jedem empfehlen.
I had an amazing teacher Paolina who tailored the lessons to meet my needs and strengthened my weaker areas. She also gave tips on how to master the language and we had lots of speaking practice which has greatly increased my German speaking confidence. My best language learning school experience so far👏🏾
I did the online B1 course. I liked the materials and the process but the course is quite intensive (3 times/week by 1.5h) so it needs a lot of studying as well. I would highly recommend it.
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 :)

Excellent!
I had a fantastic experience at VOX-Sprachschule, and I thoroughly enjoyed the course from start to finish. The structure of the program was excellent, and I noticed significant improvement in my skills. The course materials were exceptionally well-prepared, thoughtfully designed to suit the needs of learners, and effectively supplemented the lessons. Fabian Bollinger, the teacher, was truly outstanding. His professional and approachable teaching style made learning both enjoyable and engaging. His approach made learning easy and engaging, encouraging interactive participation and creating a supportive learning environment. His dedication and skill as a teacher were key to my progress. Thank you Fabian! I am delighted with the progress I made during the course. I highly recommend the school to anyone looking to improve their German in a professional, engaging, and supportive setting.
I enrolled in Intensive German class and it has been a good learning experience. Our teacher Ruben is great and teaches in a pace which is not too overwhelming as expected while learning a new language. I would highly recommend Ruben and Vox Sprachschule for learning German.
I took German lessons with Ruben. Although I was only able to attend the lessons for a short time, I think I made significant progress. Ruben was very supportive and made the class enjoyable and efficient. He helped me a lot to adapt to the class and constantly tried to adapt the course to everyone's needs.
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.
