Good teachers trained by Goethe Institute, regular follow-up by Sprachschule, flexibility to adapt the agenda, I am happy with the service and would recommend it
(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. In den letzten 12 Lektionen hat Timo sowohl viele interesante Texte als auch verschiedene Podcasts über aktuellen Themen gewählt. Damit waren wir immer sehr gut motiviert Konversation zu machen. Ich kann diesen Kurs nur weiterempfehlen.

I highly recommend this language school in Zurich. The entire team is extremely professional, well-organized, and clearly focused on delivering high-quality learning experiences. From the very beginning, communication was smooth, and the staff showed great flexibility in adapting schedules and course content to my specific needs. It’s clear that they truly care about their clients and aim to create a supportive and effective learning environment. A special mention goes to Joline, who is a very good teacher. She is incredibly kind, patient, and approachable, while also being highly competent and professional. Her lessons are well-structured, engaging, and tailored to the student’s level and objectives. Joline creates a comfortable atmosphere that encourages speaking and builds confidence. Thanks to her professionalism and positive attitude, every lesson felt productive and motivating. Overall, this school stands out for its professionalism, flexibility, and genuine focus on the client’s needs. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for high-quality language course in Zurich.
I enrolled in a German A2 individual lessons with Joline, and am very satisfied. I feel I made a lot of progress. The teacher is very flexible, kind and helpful! I strongly recommend this school!
(Translated by Google) When I started learning German in January of this year, I met a teacher who wasn't initially very happy with him. After a few hours with Maxi, I realized he had a different teaching style. He didn't stick to the examples in the book; he wanted to explain things to us more practically, so we would think about them. A very good teacher, but strict; it requires us to always be active. In other words, it's great for us students. I finished the B1 course with him. Thanks, Max. "I think the online lessons are good; you should offer them as a regular option. I would also like to take lessons from home in the future. I've seen many teachers and schools, and Olga is perfect for me. Olga looks at what we all need individually and adapts to our individual wishes, which is unique. Olga is very diligent and listens to our opinions." (Original) Als ich im Januar dieses Jahres anfing, Deutsch zu lernen, traf ich einen Lehrer, der anfangs nicht sehr zufrieden mit ihm war. Nach ein paar Stunden mit Maxi wurde mir klar, dass er eine andere Art zu unterrichten hatte. Er hielt sich nicht an die Beispiele im Buch, er wollte es uns praktischer erklären, damit wir darüber nachdenken. Ein sehr guter Lehrer, aber streng, es erfordert, dass wir immer aktiv sind. Mit anderen Worten, es ist großartig für uns Schüler. Ich habe den B1-Kurs mit ihm beendet. Danke Max. "Den Online- Unterricht finde ich gut, ihr solltet das im festen Angebot haben. Ich würde den Unterricht in Zukunft auch von zu Hause aus machen wollen. Ich habe viele Lehrer und Schulen gesehen und Olga ist perfekt für mich. Olga schaut, was wir alle separat brauchen und passt sich unseren individuellen Wünschen an und das ist einzigartig. Olga ist sehr fleissig und geht auf unsere Meinungen ein."
Elly was a great and thoughtful teacher. Her emphasis on speaking was great for learning German and I’m leaving the course feeling like I learned alot. Thank you!
Great teachers, small groups which is great for learning.
(Translated by Google) I took the A1 module with teacher Yana and she is certainly the best of all!! The school's method is very rushed, which means it is not for everyone, but with Yana's classes twice a week, I felt very encouraged to speak the language (German), and her teaching method is also excellent. All the 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 a very good learning period with Nadine! Would definitely recommend VOX-Sprachschule to anyone who would be interested to start picking up a new language in the fastest way possible!
(Translated by Google) I'm glad I chose a B2 German course with the VOX language school; I'm very happy with it. It's worth paying a little more for good quality…👍👍 (Original) Ich bin froh, dass ich mit der VOX Sprachschule einen B2 Deutschkurs entschieden habe, mit der bin ich einfach zufrieden. Es lont sich ein bisschen mehr bezahlen aber gute Qualität…👍👍
Highly recommend 😊 After changing various school to learn German, in Vox I had the opportunity to get intensive and super-intensive courses with great teachers. The most advantageous is that all classes are hold with 3-5 people strictly which is the perfect number in order the tuition to be efficient.
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.
