Learning German is definitely hard enough on its own, and to be honest, I don’t have much intrinsic motivation to learn it. I signed up for a B1 class, but wasn’t entirely sure if I’d want to stick with it for the entire 6 weeks. That said, I’m so glad Eva was my teacher!! She somehow managed to make our B1 class so fun, engaging, and entertaining that I kept attending—not to mention that I learned and retained SO much. She completely turned my whole learning experience around and inspired me to want to engage more with the German language. If you have the chance to choose a teacher, I highly recommend learning with Eva.

On October 22, 2026, I took and successfully passed the digital telc German C1 University Exam at ILS Zürich . My experience was thoroughly positive. Both the staff in the administrative office and the exam administrators were extremely friendly, understanding, and professional. I particularly appreciated how they handled our nervousness. The examiners created a calm and pleasant atmosphere, which helped us overcome our initial anxiety. The entire exam process was exceptionally well-organized. All exam rules were consistently and transparently followed. During the presentation and the subsequent discussion, the examiners paid very close attention to the specified time limits. When time was running short, we were notified in a timely manner. As a result, the exam proceeded in a structured, fair, and smooth manner. The processing of the exam results was also pleasantly quick: I received my result within just two weeks. A heartfelt thank you to the entire ILS team and especially to the exam experts for the professional organization, the fair conduct of the exam, and the respectful treatment of the participants. Based on my personal experience, I can wholeheartedly recommend ILS Zürich !

ILS Zürich offers a business English course for levels B1 through C1. Students should therefore already have a basic knowledge of English. This allows the course to focus directly on professional communication and typical situations encountered in everyday business life.

Business English focuses on language that is actually used in a professional setting. This includes professional vocabulary, appropriate expressions, and oral and written communication. The emphasis is less on general everyday situations and more on communicating clearly and appropriately in an international work environment.

Yes. Lessons can be tailored to specific situations from your everyday work life. These may include meetings, presentations, negotiations, client meetings, or conference calls. Private lessons, in particular, allow you to specifically prepare for and practice real-life professional scenarios.

Yes. Written business English is part of the course. For example, you can work on professional emails, inquiries, replies, and other forms of business correspondence. The course also covers which phrasing is appropriate in different professional situations.

Yes. The lessons can be tailored to your professional needs. Depending on your job, we can focus on specific technical vocabulary, customer communication, sales pitches, project meetings, or other industry-specific situations.

Yes. In addition to one-on-one lessons, we also offer semi-private and trio private lessons. This can be particularly beneficial if several colleagues have similar responsibilities and need English for comparable professional situations.

Content Business English Private

Business English is an essential part of the basic skills expected by an employer in today's working world. However, even excellent school English does not guarantee that you can avoid embarrassing yourself in front of international business partners with an inappropriate phrase. Unlike in everyday language, great importance is attached to a chosen and precise form of expression at work.

If you want to appear confident in negotiations with English-speaking colleagues, a business English language course is indispensable.

Here you will learn specialized vocabulary, as well as grammatical features of business English, which will ensure that you can communicate seriously in your work environment. For this purpose, we use textbooks that are structured according to specific topics that are relevant in everyday working life. A day in the office, the trainee, meetings, but also job applications, presentations and negotiations are addressed. In addition, the focus is on different countries, whose cultural characteristics and business-related customs are examined in more detail.

The fact that an entrepreneur in English is an "entrepreneur" and by no means a "mortician", or that the English-sounding word "beamer" should better be translated as "overhead-projector", will be explained to you by means of exercise texts and exemplary dialogues. Also the grammar, which is partly already assumed, is deepened and underpinned in these lessons. For example, you will learn where and when it is better not to translate the German word "wie" in English with "how". It would be wrong to translate the sentence "How will this look like?" with "How will this look like?". The correct translation would be "What will this look like?". You should also be more comfortable with English tenses after this course.

In a private course, our teachers can also respond to your individual needs and create a lesson plan that suits your needs.

Sign up now and position yourself confidently in the English-speaking workplace.
