I can gladly recommend ILS - Zurich as and wonderful language school. I have attended intensive German A 1.2 course and I am happy with my experience.
Our teacher - Giovanni is simply great. He knows how to transfer knowledge, he seems passionate about what he does and he has patience for each team member.
Groups are small and I had cool class mates.
All staff members are very friendly and flexible even when it comes to payments which is not that common in Switzerland.

I studied with this school for A2 and B1. Overall a good experience, with two very good teachers: Jana and Vera. Both enthusiastic, well-prepared for lessons and gave good explanations of the material. Many thanks.

I did the FIDE-Test with them. They were really nice and accomodating. Any questions I had were answered, and they were even so flexible as to allow me to participate when I arrived a few minutes late due to train delays. I hope I passed, but I'd be happy to go there again whenever needed!

ILS is a great language school. I did already 3 german courses with them and I’ll start my next one soon. The teachers are awesome. A special thank you to Jana and Rita.

Overall this was a very stressful difficult experience I am a very senior professional doctor in the UK and this was one of the worst tests I have ever undertaken. There were no clear email instructions to bring in ID card and check in with the secretary.

When the speaking examiner realised I had not done the check in he was visibly angry and impatient. He was very unfriendly and it really upset the start of the exam.

The first question I was asked was why I was doing the exam. I am not sure what response an A2 standard should respond to that. It’s a bit of a personal question. It really threw me off track.

I was unable to demonstrate my skills due to the stress. At the end of the last A2 question where I struggled, the questioner and marker conferred and he was was very direct with indicating a thumbs down to drop to A1. It was very belittling and upsetting.

Throughout the time the examiners spoke fast German without compensation for when a student clearly was trying their best but struggling.

In future I would advise you give clear instructions for the check in process. Also, please ask the examiners for a bit of compassion. I am an A1/A2 level. On a good day A2. Because I was placed under unnecessary pressure I feel I was a bad A1.

After the speaking I went through to the understanding part. I was told in the speaking I may go from A2 to A1 there and depending on the outcome may do A2 or A1 in the understanding. I was not told at the start of the understanding which level I was sitting. This added to the stress of that part and would have impacted on my performance.

Overall I do not feel the test enabled me to demonstrate the language level
I can achieve. The set up Impacted on this and is something that can be improved upon gof future candidates.
I would be happy to discuss further if you would like to contact me.

Very good experience with ILS - both for my German A2 examination, and Italian A1/A2 private lessons. Fast communication in multiple languages - would recommend.

I can only talk good about my experience at ILS-ZURICH. I went for the 6-weeks Intensive B1 and ended up very satisfied with my learning. Lot's of grammar, new vocabulary, plenty of audios and conversations as well as exercises to practice the concepts. Each week we covered approx. 3-4 new chapters from the book. The teacher, Vera, was during the whole course "ausgezeichnet" -as she would say-. And eventhough she can speak english, she explains everything in german. Which made it better for me to learn even more new expressions and synonyms.
We were max. 6 students and the pace of the class was quite dynamic.

I totally recommend this school under Vera's teaching. I am deffinetly applying for the B2.

I highly recommend ILS for language courses. My german has improved immensely. I am very happy with my a2 classes with Giovanni. And I am excited to continue b1 here as well.
