Really enjoyed my time studying at Vox with 'one to one' lessons. My schedule was somewhat hectic and Vox were extremely accommodating and organised individual lessons. The teacher, Florian Leu, was great and extremely patient with me. I really benefitted from my time spent at Vox and will certainly undertake more lessons.
Very good online course with an excellent teacher. Even at my age it was possible to learn German. :)
VOX is not only a different school for people who want to learn a new language, but for teachers as well! Small groups, tailored courses and a focus on speaking provied a unique experience for everyone. I'm honoured to be part of the team!
(Translated by Google) It is a great pleasure for me to work with Yves. His knowledge and ability to answer any questions gives me confidence. I am now motivated again to learn German. Thank you very much, Yves. (Original) Es ist mir eine grosse Freude, mit Yves zu arbeiten. Sein Wissen und seine Fähigkeit, alle Fragen zu beantworten, geben mir Selbstvertrauen. Ich bin jetzt wieder motiviert, Deutsch zu lernen. Vielen Dank, Yves.
Best school and best teachers in Zurich to learn a new language. If you want to learn German like me - ask for Elly - she is the best teacher by far. "Don't stop learning"
It is a nice language school. Teachers are professional and care students and their needs. The program is well planned as a student’s level. One of my friends strongly recommended me here and I will do as well. I am improving a lot here.
(Translated by Google) My teacher, Yana, is fantastic. We can practice speaking a lot, on different topics. My speaking skills improved after the course. (Original) Meine Lehrerin, Yana, ist fantastisch. Wir können viel Sprechen üben, zu verschiedenen Themen. Meine Sprechfähigkeiten haben sich nach dem Kurs verbessert.
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.
Locations is perfect! Teachers are very professional and just cool ;) Recommend this school in any aspect!
The teacher Priska is a great professional! She makes the lessons very fun, she is very patient and explains very well, I'm very happy with her. Thank you Vox Sprachschule and Aida for being so attentive to every detail and cover the needs of the students.
VOX Sprachschule and their teachers (shout out to Priska who has been my tutor) have always ensured that the courses I have taken were tailored to my needs, with focus on the areas that were most important to me, and always at times that suit me well. This has helped my German and Swiss German language skills tremendously.
I have done the C1 course with the teacher named Tatiana. I would gladly recommend it. Right from the beginning she studied carefully my case and prepared a course fitting perfectly to my needs. I am quiet satisfied with the outcome.
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.
