 Trustindex verifies whether the original source of the review is Google. I took a B1 exam. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The facilities are modern, new, and clean.
We had enough time to prepare between the written and oral exams.
Everything was very well organized.

 Trustindex verifies whether the original source of the review is Google. I can wholeheartedly recommend ILS Aarau and, in particular, my English teacher Angelica!

With her support, I prepared for the Cambridge C1 Advanced exam and passed it successfully—in the end, I was even just two points short of the C2 level. To me, that shows just how much I was able to learn and improve during that time.

Angelica isn’t just an incredibly knowledgeable teacher—she also manages to make every lesson interesting, varied, and highly educational at the same time. The classes were never boring—we got to laugh, have great conversations, and still work very specifically on my English and exam prep. I felt very comfortable in her classes right from the start.

Many thanks to Angelica for her great support, patience, and all the knowledge she shared with me. I couldn’t have asked for better preparation for the C1 exam. I highly recommend her! 😊

All the instructions were clear and easy to understand, and the atmosphere was pleasant.
Thank you very much for the excellent preparation and support!
