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 !

I really can’t recommend the ILS Zürich highly enough. Everything went smoothly, from the planning right up to exam day. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, and I felt very comfortable throughout the entire exam. I couldn’t have asked for better organization and support. Many thanks to the whole team! 😊

Check out the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Yes. In private French lessons, the instruction can be tailored precisely to the situations in which you actually want to use French. These might include travel, everyday conversations, dining out, phone calls, or interactions with French-speaking people. Instead of following a set group curriculum, you can work with your teacher to choose topics that are personally relevant to you.

Private lessons can be particularly effective because the entire lesson is tailored to your individual level, questions, and learning goals. You don’t have to wait for other students and can cover topics that come easily to you more quickly. Conversely, areas where you need more support can be covered in greater detail.

Yes. Business French can be part of private lessons. Depending on your line of work, you can practice business conversations, emails, presentations, phone calls, technical vocabulary, or conversations with customers and business partners, for example. This makes the course ideal for people who need French specifically for their careers in Switzerland or in an international setting.
