They are best in their profession!!!
I attended a three-month-long B2 English course and can definitely recommend it. The small class sizes were great—we had a class of just four people, and everyone had different strengths and weaknesses. With such small classes, our teacher, Mariia Fedorova, was able to assign tasks individually, making the learning process much more efficient. Overall, I highly recommend both the school and Mariia Fedorova as a teacher.
Lessons with Fabian are pure joy. I learnt a lot in a very short period of time. I highly recommend this school
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.
(Translated by Google) The Vox language school always tried to respond to my needs and wishes. Ms. Houria Merrad, my French teacher, was very professional and encouraged me to carry on even when things got difficult - with complete success. Always my pleasure! (Original) Die Vox-Sprachschule hat sich stehts bemüht auf meine Bedürfnisse & Wünsche einzugehen. Frau Houria Merrad meine Französisch Lehrerin war sehr professionel und hat mich auch wenns schwierig wurde - stehts aufgemuntert weiterzumachen - mit vollem Erfolg. Immer wieder gerne!
Very nice school with a nice and flexible teachers :)
As someone with learning difficulties I find languages very difficult. I have private lessons in person and Fabian, my teacher, has helped so much in all aspects of my German. The lessons are interesting, fun and after a few years struggling to improve I have finally seen a difference. If you are looking for in person lessons I can heartily recommend
Please find below your text if you wish to leave it after the rating: I’m extremely happy with my classes with Solange. I feel there is a good balance between conversation and grammar, and I believe I’m improving every week. I look forward to continuing with her for the next levels. Thank you!
Really excellent experience - the teacher was totally up to speed on what I needed to do and delivered a targeted programme to help me develop my skills. Thoroughly enjoyable as well!
... 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.
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.
Tatjana is a very good teacher. I'm moving forward with every lesson I've taken. There are tangible results shown are the end of every lesson.
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.
