Course Description
The Cambridge B1 Preliminary (formerly known as PET) shows that you have mastered the basics of English and are now an independent (or intermediate) user of English and the exam is internationally recognised.
In this exam preparation class you will work towards improving your English level alongside targeted exam preparation covering all sections of the exam. Having the correct level is often not enough in a language exam; you also need to know the format and the type of activities and questions. Your teacher will guide you through all sections and help you develop strategies for tackling the exam.
At VOX, our main focus is speaking, which will help the grammar and vocabulary to sink in and give you confidence using spoken English. Our small class sizes (3-5) guarantee you plenty of speaking practice and individual feedback on your progress. Of course, your teacher will not neglect the other skills: listening, reading and writing.

I had online German course B2 level . There were only 3 people in our class, so I had a lot more chance to talk in German. My teacher Isabel was very professional and friendly, I would definitely recommend her for the lesson. She always gave us the homeworks and sent us back correted answer quickly which helped me a lot as well. It costs quite a lot, but as there are not many students in a class, so it was worth it. Unfortunately, there was no administrations office in Winterthur branch, so it seems all enquries are done only with email or the telephone. But Administrative person calling me back in a short time.
(Translated by Google) A unique school where teaching is fun! I particularly appreciate the focus on speaking and the small class sizes. Every student truly has a voice here. I'm delighted to be part of the Vox team. (Original) Eine einzigartige Schule, an der das Unterrichten Spass macht! Ganz besonders schätze ich den Fokus auf das Sprechen und die kleinen Klassen. Hier kommt wirklich jeder Schüler zu Wort. Ich freue mich, dass ich Teil des Vox-Teams sein darf.
(Translated by Google) I’m just an ordinary person who enjoys exploring Google Street View. At first, I only wanted to see if there were any Street View images of the Central Polybahn (the funicular station platform). By chance, I clicked into this place and discovered something really fun. I have to say—it’s incredibly creative! Even though I live far away in Asia, I still find this so refreshing and delightful. Truly a wonderful idea! I’m just someone who enjoys browsing on Google Street View. I actually just wanted to see if there were any pictures of the Central Polybahn platform—and then I landed here by chance. Really funny and super creative! Even though I live far away in Asia, I find this totally refreshing and somehow really beautiful.

Richtig witzig und super kreativ! Auch wenn ich weit weg in Asien wohne, finde ich das total erfrischend und irgendwie voll schön.
(Translated by Google) Top-notch advice before registration, and the support during the course was also excellent. Communication and information were always excellent. We had to change the course at short notice, and the school found a solution very quickly and easily. The teacher (Olga) always took the necessary time and conveyed the material very well. (Original) Topp Beratung vor der Anmeldung und auch während dem Kurs war die Betreuung super. Immer super kommuniziert und informiert. Wir mussten kurzfristig den Kurs ändern und die Schule hat sehr schnell und unkompliziert eine Lösung gefunden. Die Lehrerin (Olga) hat sich immer die nötige Zeit genommen und den Schulstoff sehr gut rüber gebracht.
I’m about to complete my A1 German course with VOX, and I attended the semi-individual class with my partner. The registration process was incredibly quick and seamless, thanks to the excellent support from the administration. We’ve truly enjoyed our lessons and feel that we’ve made significant progress. Elly has been outstanding in creating an engaging and supportive learning environment, while skillfully adapting each session to our individual strengths and areas for improvement. We would highly recommend VOX to anyone.
For a number of years I have tried many different schools and teachers. With Vox and Yana (the best German teacher I’ve ever had), I now enjoy learning it. Highly recommend the private lessons for professional who want to have flexibility but still effective lessons.
Good teachers trained by Goethe Institute, regular follow-up by Sprachschule, flexibility to adapt the agenda, I am happy with the service and would recommend it
Great experience. Followed the B1 German course during Corona time and I am impressed by the flexibility of the school and the teacher Priska. The general quality of the course is very good and very personal. Priska is a great teacher - and will definitely recommend her and Vox schule! Thanks! Pieter Laban
Great teacher and very helpful staff
(Translated by Google) I completed an online one-on-one English course at level B2 and I'm very satisfied. Communication with the teacher was very easy and I benefited tremendously. The school is very professional, the course has a logical structure and good learning materials. Very motivating. Thank you to the VOX Language School! (Original) Habe einen Online Einzel-Kurs absolviert in Englisch Level B2 und bin sehr zufrieden. Die Kommunikation mit der Lehrerin ist sehr einfach und ich habe extrem profitiert. Die Schule arbeitet sehr professionell und der Kurs hat einen logischen Aufbau und gute Schulmaterialien. Sehr motivierend. Danke an die VOX Sprachschule!
My 14 year old daughter Sophia had great 1:1 lessons for a week before beginning a small group course for a month. The teachers were great and really helped improve her German!
I'm currently taking an in-person German class with Lise, and the experience has been excellent. Lise is an amazing teacher—very supportive and always brings a lot of energy to the lessons. We have a lot of fun while learning, and I've gained so much from her classes. She uses a wide range of materials, including articles, special notes, and videos, which keeps things interesting and interactive. I highly recommend her as a teacher!
