Superb school and a dynamic one!!! They have great teachers! I recommend the school for its very good quality and you will learn a lot. A tip! you can ask for an English certificate!
Last spring I enrolled to the B1 German course in a team of five and Alexander Lips as our teacher. I am very happy with my decision and I can definitely recommend it. Alexander is a great teacher with a lot of knowledge and experience. He was very supportive throughout the course and he always encouraged me to speak more and corrected my mistakes in a constructive way. He also gave me useful tips and tricks on how to pronounce words correctly and how to avoid common errors. He made the lessons fun and engaging by using different materials and activities. Alexander also explained the grammar rules clearly and thoroughly. He used simple and easy-to-understand examples to illustrate the concepts and showed me how to apply them in different contexts. He also provided me with exercises and homework to practice what I learned and to reinforce my knowledge. He always checked my answers and gave me feedback on how to improve them. Our teacher was also very flexible and responsive to our needs. He asked us what our goals and expectations were at the beginning of the course and tailored the lessons accordingly. He also regularly asked us if we had any questions or suggestions and adjusted the pace and content of the lessons based on our feedback. I would highly recommend this German course to anyone who wants to learn or improve their German skills. Alexander is a professional and great teacher who knows how to teach the language effectively and enjoyably. He helped me achieve my learning objectives and made me feel more confident and comfortable in speaking and understanding German. He is one of the best teachers I have ever had.
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 :)
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.
I just completed another great course for advanced German language learners. The course was tailored exactly to my needs with ample opportunity to talk and build vocabulary in so many different topics and themes. Our teacher Solange Morel was excellent. She made the class interesting, helping us build our oral, reading and listening skills. She also picked up the grammar areas where we needed a refresher and wove that skillfully in the lessons. Thank you Vox and Solange for the great experience. Looking forward to the next course.

(Translated by Google) Within a very short time I learned the basics of the Spanish language at VOX and had a lot of fun! My teacher adapted the approach and content to my needs, which made it easier to get started in a new language and kept interest and motivation high. The school also scores points with its very central location and high flexibility in organizing appointments - overall I am very satisfied :) (Original) Innerhalb von sehr kurzer Zeit lernte ich an der VOX die Grundzüge der spanischen Sprache und hatte dabei eine ganze Menge Spass! Meine Lehrerin hat die Vorgehensweise und Inhalte stark auf meine Bedürfnisse angepasst, was den Einstieg in eine neue Sprache einerseits erleichtert und das Interesse & Motivation hoch hält. Die Schule punktet zudem mit einem sehr zentralen Standort und hoher Flexibilität bei der Organisation der Termine - insgesamt bin ich sehr zufrieden :)
I’ve been studying English in this school for 4 months. The rooms are well equipped with round tables and interactive whiteboards; study materials are up to date and in general the organisation is great! I highly recommend Kathleen as a professor.
Really excellent teaching method and class size makea this a great school. Teachers of top quality. Supplies for students such bottled mineral water is free. Great managers and staff which are very helpful with issues. Highly recommended.
I have a great experience at VOX! My teacher Michael is good and ready to help even beyond the class time. The lessons are clear and concise and the classrooms atmosphere are comfortable. Alles ist wunderbar!

I have just completed A1 German intensive with Ruben and I have to say, it really makes a difference when you have a teacher who is truly passionate about what they are teaching. The course felt well organised and I felt comfortable making mistakes (lots of them!) I would highly recommend this course for beginners as it gives you a great base line and understanding of how the language works. Danke Ruben & VOX

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.
