I was learning English with the level A2-B1. I had good experiences with this school. My teacher was Tatiana. She is very professional and organized. Tatiana always sensed what exactly I need to improve my knowledge of the language. She is an excellent teacher. No question was left unanswered:) I'm really happy that I had such a good teacher. I attented other courses before and left without progress. This investion was worth it. This location is easily accessible from the HB Zürich.

They are best in their profession... :) <3
My experience with VOX has been overall very positive and I cannot stress enough how their format of teaching to a maximum of 4 people at a time helps students developing their linguistic skills faster: you have more time to speak, to ask questions and to interact with your co-students. Isabelle has been a fantastic teacher. I attended A1 and A2 German courses with her. She was always ready to help whenever I needed assistance and answered my questions super quickly every time. She also pushed me and motivated me constantly. Herzlichen Dank Isabelle!!
(Translated by Google) Many thanks to my teacher Evgeniya. She is very good, she makes the lessons interesting and entertaining and most importantly, thanks to her I have improved my German grammar, she tries to explain as best as possible. Thank you again Evgeniya and VOX language school. (Original) Vielen Dank meiner Lehrerin Evgeniya. Sie ist sehr gut, sie macht den Unterricht interessant und unterhaltsam und vor allem habe ich dank ihr meine deutsche Grammatik verbessert, sie versucht, so gut wie möglich zu erklären. Vielen Dank nochmal Evgeniya und VOX Sprachschule.
Small focused classes with top quality teachers. Very happy with my progress since joining the school.
Enrolled on the intensive German course and it has been great fun. Learnt a lot more quickly than I was expecting. The small class format and focus on speaking has really made a difference. The teacher Ruben has been great and is always able to explain concepts in a way that make them more understandable and helps with learning. Definitely recommend Vox Sprachschule for anyone wanting to learn German.
The schools is very accommodating of my schedule and preferences. Overall it has been a great experience. I am very happy with my classes with Natalie. She strikes the right balance between grammar and speaking practice. She takes my feedback into consideration and I very much enjoy the learning experience. She is an excellent teacher, patient, knowledgeable, engaging and friendly. She makes learning fun and is definitely one of my all-time favorite teachers! I always look forward to my German classes.
The Vox-languageschool Winterthur gave me a lot of grounding in my English language. I feel very safe for my future exams. I am very grateful to my teacher Leah Bearns, who prepared me very well in all facets of the B1 exam. I would recommend the Vox School to everyone.
(Translated by Google) I completed the English course at level B1 at the Vox language school in Winterthur. In individual lessons, I worked with lecturers who have a very high level of professional competence. Lessons are tailored to individual needs. The lecturers were able to respond very well to my needs. Because of my previous knowledge, I had no problems with text and reading comprehension. This meant I could concentrate mainly on speaking during the lesson. (Original) Ich absolvierte den Englischkurs auf dem Niveau B1 bei der Vox-Sprachschule in Winterthur. Im Einzelunterricht arbeitete ich mit Dozenten zusammen, welche eine sehr hohe Fachkompetenz aufweisen. Der Unterricht wird auf die individuellen Bedürfnisse angepasst. Die Dozenten konnten auf meine Bedürfnisse sehr gut eingehen. Durch meine Vorkenntnisse hatte ich keine Probleme mit dem Text- und Leseverständnis. Somit konnte ich mich während dem Unterricht hauptsächlich auf das Sprechen konzentrieren.
Very good teachers to help even starting with no knowledge of the language. Able to work at a pace you are comfortable with
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.
