Alpha and Berlitz German Language Schools in Zurich

Hiya Guys!
I have looked at the previous posts to do with German Language schools, but nothing on Alpha Language School. I torn between Alpha and Berlitz.
Pls has anybody in the house/forum experienced them before? If not yourself, even what you have heard from others.

I am pretty sure that I have seen threads on here with positive comments on Alpha, but my husband did his german course there and was very happy with it. Some teachers were better than others but the class sizes were small and he got good support.

Re: Alpha and Berlitz German Language Schools in Zurich

Probably my reply is a bit too late: anyway for future users... I was pretty unhappy with Alpha. The teacher was not motivated, therefore lessons very boring and very traditional (a lot of grammar despite what they say). We spent a lot of time doing exercises from the book by ourselves and then correcting them with our neighbor. Of course it depends a lot on the teacher you get: in my case I was pretty disappointed.
