I have had an excellent experience during my B2 German course with VOX. Yana is an incredible teacher, she is really encouraging and patient and my German has improved more than I ever could have hoped! Yana made sure that every lesson was tailored towards my needs and really went above and beyond in making sure I was always getting the most out of the course and our lessons - can't thank her enough!!
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.
Teachers are great, and the small group size makes sure the classes remain interactive and you are engaged all the time
Excellent school! One of the best schools I had the pleasure to work with, great teachers, attention to detail and demands! Very well prepared teachers, prompt in answering, great learning experience! Thank you Vox and Elisaveta Savina! Highly recommend!
I had a truly exceptional experience learning German at VOX. I am incredibly satisfied with the progress I made during my course. My teacher, Evgeniya, is the reason this course was so successful for me. She is a phenomenal instructor, and I recommend her wholeheartedly! She perfectly balanced grammar exercises with practical, real-life conversational practice. My ability to speak German (Sprechen) has improved immensely thanks to her constant encouragement and well-designed activities. This was the best language learning experience I've ever had. Evgeniya's passion for teaching and her effective methods made all the difference. If you are looking to learn German, look no further! Enroll in a class with Evgeniya—you will be amazed by your own progress.
Here is my honest review of VOX Sprachschule Winterthur: I have taken two courses (B1 and B2 German) with Vox and I have had a very positive experience so far. I have recommended Vox to a close friend of mine as well. My teachers at Vox were some of the best I’ve had. Each lesson plan is organised, the class sizes are small, and the teachers are highly educated. I am currently taking B2 German with Daniel M. The lessons are organised and structured letting you know which concepts are covered. This makes it easy to look back and practice on your own. My teacher does a great job breaking down German grammar principles into simple components and explaining the rules involved in sentence structure and conversation. My language acquisition is quicker and easier thanks to this method of teaching. He pays extra attention to making sure your pronunciation is correct when speaking. This has improved my communication skills greatly. The reading, writing, and conversational exercises are very helpful. Overall this course continues to give me the tools to become fluent in German. I have previously taken B1 with VOX as well, and I was also impressed with my former teacher, Alys B.-C. We learned in a structured yet stress-free manner. It was easy to speak to my other classmates online. I appreciated the instructor's detailed notes, conversation, handouts, and written exercises. I would definitely take another Vox class again. It is worth the price. The teachers are supportive and you can e-mail them outside of class time. The school is flexible so working and learning is not a problem. The staff checks in with you to make sure your feedback about your class is taken into consideration. My understanding of German has vastly improved. My ability to read, write, and speak are much better than before. Overall Vox Sprachschule Winterthur gets a 5/5 for me.
My teacher Joline was extremely professional, well prepared and attentive to all my needs. I recommend to each person who wants to improve their language skill to apply to VOX
This German language course is excellent—intense, fast-paced, and highly effective. The lessons are well-structured, and the instructors are knowledgeable and supportive. It really pushes you to improve quickly while staying engaging. Highly recommended for anyone serious about learning German fast.
I’m very happy with VOX. I’ve completed my A2 and B1 German courses here, and I’m currently doing B2. I really like the way the classes are conducted. It’s not just about doing exercises in a book there’s a strong focus on conversation and discussing topics that interest the students. I’d especially like to mention Priska. She’s an excellent teacher who prepares all her lessons with care, always answers our questions, helps us, and teaches in the best possible way. I will definitely continue taking my courses here ☺️
(Translated by Google) The Vox Language School is fantastic! It's been my best language learning experience so far. I took my B1 German course and private lessons at the Winterthur location. My teacher was Olga, and she's now my absolute favorite teacher! The lessons were well-structured and always fun. Learning languages isn't easy, but Olga made it easy and interesting for me. Thank you so much to Vox and to Olga! (Original) Die Vox Sprachschule ist fantastisch! Das war bis jetzt meine beste Erfahrung beim Sprachenlernen. Ich habe meinen B1-Deutsch-Kurs und Privatunterricht am Standort Winterthur gemacht. Meine Lehrerin war Olga, sie ist jetzt meine absolute Lieblingslehrerin! Der Unterricht war gut strukturiert und hat immer Spaß gemacht. Sprachenlernen ist nicht einfach, aber Olga hat es für mich leicht und interessant gemacht. Vielen Dank an VOX und an Olga!
I have done my A1 and A2 language courses with Yana. She is a very professional teacher and I learned a lot thanks to her. Great learning experience!
Great course and wonderful approach! I was looking forward to every lesson :) I highly recommend it also for complete begginers

Many people struggle to learn French due to psychological barriers preventing them from actively speaking. At VOX-Sprachschule, we have developed a methodology that grants you the possibility to overcome whatever difficulties you may encounter when looking for the most efficient way to learn how to speak. Our teachers will constantly pay attention to your individual learning needs, which is guaranteed to make your experience at VOX-Sprachschule a success story.
Speaking is the most natural function of language. If we compare learning languages to learning an instrument, the key to success is practice - practicing playing or, in the case of languages, speaking. Once the connections between your brain and the muscles responsible for speech are established, you can create beautifully sounding sentences. At VOX-Sprachschule, you will learn to speak actively - understanding, reading, and writing will follow.
