I took my telc exam here at ILS Zürich, and the overall experience went very smoothly. The staff was polite, and the exam process was well-organized. Thank you!Posted on Google
Janelle CNovember 6, 2026Learning 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.Posted on Google

Murat TürkmenogluNovember 5, 2026On 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 !Posted on Google
