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.🤗

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.

I took the FIDE exam at this school and was supervised by a total of four experts. The supervision was truly professional and friendly, as was my stay at the facility.

A wonderful place with a great atmosphere—highly recommended❣️ I’d like to thank the entire team at ILS St. Gallen from the bottom of my heart for their fantastic support in helping me earn my B1 certificate. It was the best birthday present I could have asked for, and I’m so glad I chose this school. The atmosphere there is one of a kind—the staff is incredibly warm, attentive, and professional. A special thank you and my appreciation go to the lady who was the first to greet me and take care of me while I was waiting in the group room—thank you so much for your great kindness and your smile, which immediately gave me courage. The entire team is extremely competent and empathetic in their approach to every student. I felt very well taken care of there. If you’re looking for a place where learning and exams are approached with a lot of passion, then this is the perfect place for you. I wholeheartedly recommend the school and send my regards once again to all the staff ❣️ Finally, I send my warmest regards and a request: Don’t change 🙏❣️ Always stay as wonderful as you are. Sincerely, Izabela Zych from Poland ❤️🥰
