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.

(Translated by Google) My teacher Priska is very nice and always patient. (Original) Meine Lehrerin Priska ist sehr nett und immer geduldig.
(Translated by Google) I'm very satisfied with the language course – the teachers are very professional and I was able to greatly improve my English skills. Thank you so much! (Original) Bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Sprachkurs - Die Leher sind sehr professionell und ich konnte meine Englischkenntnisse dadurch stark verbessern. Vielen Dank!
I honestly have to say I’m truly satisfied by the course you are providing. Cristina is a highly professional teacher and she really cares about our improvements. She is always at your disposal for any request and despite the limited time available she does manage to organize the lessons in order to cover both theory and practice. In addition, I think there is a perfect balancing of homework load, always with a view to the achievements of the objectives required to prepare for the A1 exam.
The highest score for the teacher we had, Valentina Carlini. Thanks to his professionalism and kindness, even German is more fun. Despite being an expensive course with teachers like her, it is worth it. I would recommend her 100%.
I’ve had a great experience with VOX so far. I have been learning Italian with Ilaria, who is a wonderful instructor. Thanks to the positive experience I am continuing with VOX and Ilaria for the subsequent levels. Highly recommend to anyone interested in learning a new language!
I completed an A1 online German course with VOX. It was an amazing and fun experience. I was in a small group and felt really comfortable. The teacher always paid attention to every student. We had an international group of students. At first, I was afraid that I wouldn't understand the teacher, as the lessons were in German. But it turned out to be really easy and fun. I'm glad we talked about a lot of things. It was unexpected, as I only had A1 level. Dzmitry Vinahradau (the teacher) somehow made it possible for us to talk about lots of topics. I appreciated the course very much!
(Translated by Google) I attended the B2 and C1 courses at Vox. I find the method using the book "Erkunde" (Explorations) effective. It incorporates many group conventions, and the exercises in the book are at a higher level. Our teacher, Priska, with whom I completed two course levels, was fantastic! 👍 Personal motivation is also necessary to achieve this. (Original) Ich habe den B2- und C1-Kurs bei vox besucht. Ich finde die Methode mit dem Buch Erkundungen effektiv. Es gibt viele Gruppenkonventionen und die Übungen im Buch sind auf einem höheren Niveau. Unsere Lehrerin Priska mit der ich zwei Kursstufen absolvieren konnte, war super! 👍 Eigene Motivation ist ebenfalls notwendig, um dies zu erreichen .
(Translated by Google) The organization regarding course selection, communication, and administration was flawless. I thoroughly enjoyed the French course with Olga; she always catered to my individual needs, which helped me achieve my personal learning goals. (Original) Die Organisation bezüglich Kursfindung sowie Kommunikation und Administration war einwandfrei. Der Französischkurs mit Olga hat mir viel Spass gemacht, sie ist immer sehr gut auf mich eingegangen, wodurch ich meine persönlichen Lernziele erreicht habe.
Priska is an excellent teacher. Very happy with the class!
Really enjoyed my time studying at Vox with 'one to one' lessons. My schedule was somewhat hectic and Vox were extremely accommodating and organised individual lessons. The teacher, Florian Leu, was great and extremely patient with me. I really benefitted from my time spent at Vox and will certainly undertake more lessons.
The teacher Priska is a great professional! She makes the lessons very fun, she is very patient and explains very well, I'm very happy with her. Thank you Vox Sprachschule and Aida for being so attentive to every detail and cover the needs of the students.
(Translated by Google) Excellent teaching, friendly colleagues, exciting tasks (Original) Top Unterrichtungen, sympatische Kollegen, spannende Aufgaben
