I had a great experience learning A2 German in a private course with Vera! She is very knowledgeable, kind, and flexible. I'll be back for B1.

I can’t recommend ILS highly enough. From the front desk staff to the passionate teachers, my family and I have had a wonderful experience learning German at the school. Alexandra was especially helpful when I asked a number of questions about course options and billing; she was always very responsive and extremely helpful. I couldn’t have enrolled and stayed on track without her kind support! And Alina is easily the BEST German teacher at the school! She is patient, supportive, and encouraging—everything you could want in a language teacher. If you’re new to Switzerland and/or new to learning German, ILS is the perfect choice.

I had a positive experience with Alexandra when I signed up for my evening German classes. She was always friendly and quick to respond to my questions. She was very helpful in offering different options and making it possible to complete registration on short notice. I would also highly recommend Alina as a teacher. She always prepared extra games and materials, making the lessons more interesting and fun. She created a really nice and welcoming atmosphere where everyone felt comfortable participating.

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 !
