 Trustindex checks whether the original source of the rating is Google. 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

 Trustindex checks whether the original source of the rating is Google. Alexandra, the course coordinator at the school, is very helpful, reliable, 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.

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.

 Trustindex checks whether the original source of the rating is Google. If you’re looking for a teacher who goes the extra mile to help you understand and love German—a teacher who truly cares—Fatime Abdiu is the one. She has a deep understanding of German grammar and the language itself. She’ll help you, support you, celebrate your progress, and almost cry with you when you feel defeated. German isn’t an easy language, but she really has a way of making you look forward to your lessons with optimism and a desire to learn. I haven’t come across a teacher who teaches with such passion since high school. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for me!

 Trustindex checks whether the original source of the rating is Google. I took the Telc B2 German exam there. They were very friendly, professional, and well-organized. We were able to help ourselves to coffee, and they set up a small buffet for us with fruit, cheese, dried fruit, and vegetables. Despite being nervous about the exam, I felt right at home.🤗
