I chose ILS Zürich for my German Telc B1 exam, and they didn't disappoint. Everything was explained clearly before the test, and everything went smoothly during the exam; the woman who proctored the written portion was very friendly and professional. The results were delivered 13 days after the test. I'll be back in a few months for the B2! Thanks a lot

In my opinion, this is the most comprehensive and high-quality language school in Switzerland. Here, we’re not just learning a language—we’re also having a great time. The classrooms are air-conditioned and not crowded; in my previous language course, there were 12 students, but in the class I’m taking here, there are only three of us, and I find that to be a huge advantage. Our teacher, in particular, is very friendly and goes above and beyond to teach us—making the lessons more fun and helping us remember what we learn. If you want to learn a language, I think you should come and try out a trial day. Thank you (Ricardo) :)

I am very pleased with my experience at this school. The classes are well-organized, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the learning process is rigorous yet motivating. I would especially like to mention our teacher, Ricardo, who is an excellent instructor. He is very patient, explains things very clearly, and manages to make even the most difficult concepts easy to understand. The lessons are interesting, well-structured, and take place in a relaxed atmosphere where you feel encouraged to speak, ask questions, and learn without fear of making mistakes. Ricardo pays close attention to every student, and it’s clear that he puts his heart into what he does. Thanks to him, the course is much more enjoyable, and I feel like I’ve made real progress. I wholeheartedly recommend this school and, in particular, Ricardo’s classes.

Alexandra, the course coordinator at the school, is very helpful, responsible, and does her best in her job. She helped me use my KulturLegi card, which was very important to me. The school has modern equipment, excellent materials, and some teachers are better than others—which is normal at any school. A special thanks to the amazing cleaning staff who always keep the classrooms and bathrooms so comfortable to be in.

I took my Telc German exam at this school today and had a smooth experience. The exam was very well organized from start to finish. The staff were friendly and helpful, everything ran on time, and there was convenient parking nearby, which made the whole visit stress-free. Overall, a great experience—I highly recommend it if you're taking your Telc exam here.

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.
