 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.🤗

 Trustindex checks whether the original source of the rating is Google. The entire team at ILS Zurich is very friendly, supportive, and always happy to help with any questions about courses, payment options, private lessons, or language exams. The super-intensive course is well-structured, engaging, and never feels overwhelming. Vera is an outstanding and highly supportive teacher who goes beyond the textbook and consistently provides additional exercises whenever we need extra practice, such as with grammar. There is a very positive atmosphere at the school, and I am very glad I chose ILS Zurich to improve my German. I would definitely recommend it!

 Trustindex checks whether the original source of the rating is Google. I recently changed schools, and I couldn't be happier with my decision! The teaching methods are excellent, and the study materials are incredibly comprehensive. The teacher goes above and beyond by providing extra activities and explanations that go well beyond the textbook. I’m truly satisfied with this change!
