Course description

In our Semi-private courses, you can enjoy your lessons in groups of two. Small groups offer the possibility to individually choose the main emphasis of your course. Our experienced teachers specifically tailor the lessons according to your wishes and needs. If you are looking for a particular certificate, we will gladly prepare you for the examination.

Individual tuition is the fastest way to learn a language. Whether you need general or specialized language, each course is designed for your needs and adapted to your rate of progress. It is the perfect option if you have specific targets or limited time. It is particularly convenient for professionals and executives preparing for a trip abroad, or negotiations and presentations in a foreign language.

"Great immersive experience. Great use of 4 weeks of my stay in Switzerland."

Lauren Chin, student from USA

The teacher was great. The book was great. The super intensive course is no joke. If you put in the work, the course is designed for students to be successful. However, students with situations that do not allow them to put in the work slow down the class as a whole. The classrooms could be made more compatible with the classes it needs to accommodate.

"Great language learning experience in the heart of Basel"

Trisha O'Cone, student from USA

ILS was a great opportunity for a traveling tourist who had an interest in continuing language learning. They were able to accommodate my travel schedule, which was very much appreciated!

The location, near SBB, could not have been more convenient.

I took a combination of small group classes followed by private instruction. This structure helped me identify reinforcement points in the afternoon. Other students were very diligent and interested - established the right environment for learning. Be prepared for afterschool assignments (~1 hour) outside of the instruction time.

Course materials were interesting, and more importantly, well-paced. A lot was covered in a week!

"High quality language school"

Magnus Eriksson, student from Sweden

A well-organized school in a good location close to Basel SBB Railway station. The teacher was excellent. There were only three students in the class so the teacher had enough time for all the students. The education focused on conversation, but there were also grammar and writing. The classrooms didn't have air-conditioning but there was a big fan in the room.
