Course Description
By passing the Cambridge B2 First, formerly Cambridge English: First (FCE) you demonstrate your ability to work and live independently in an English-speaking country. At this level you are able to communicate effectively in most face-to-face situations in an English-speaking environment and attend courses in English. You can follow the news and write different types of texts. The Cambridge B2 First exam is also internationally accepted for many tertiary courses in English-speaking countries.
You will build on your English knowledge in class through varied activities using learning materials specially designed for exam preparation. You will develop effective strategies to help you tackle all sections of the exam with confidence. You will regularly write new texts to improve your writing style which will help you reach your academic and professional goals while getting ample speaking practice to boost your ability to discuss a wide variety of topics in a more nuanced fashion. Our groups at VOX are small (2-5 people) so your teacher will be able to adapt to any specific needs and requests you may have. By the end of the course you will be excellently prepared to sit the B2 First with confidence.

Ruben has been an outstanding teacher
(Translated by Google) Both professional and interesting and exciting lessons. My teacher is enjoying her work and I am happy with my progress. I can only recommend this school. Carlo (Original) Sowohl professioneller, als auch interessanter und spannender Unterricht. Meine Lehererin hat Freude mit ihrer Arbeit, und ich bin zufrieden mit meinen Vorschritten. Ich kann diese Schule nur empfehlen. Carlo
Wonderful school, very convenient location and experienced teachers! I took 3 courses here (A1, A2, B1) and passed the B1 test without any problems, even though in the last month I did almost no homework. Many thanks to the teachers for their genuine interest and friendly atmosphere.
Amazing lessons, friendly and forthcoming teacher. Can only be recommended!!
Review from my partner Kathleen Izzat I do feel that I am moving towards my goals with this language course and there is enough speaking practice. The lessons are interesting and Priska is very friendly and patient, often encouraging the students to find or to work out the correct answer by ourselves initially, then using help from co-students before stepping in to assist and advise. We are given plenty of relevant, everyday examples of the language in use and are supported well when we try to use German to describe our own experiences and thoughts. Looking back through the course book I can see that the new information being provided very cleverly flows throughout each chapter, as well as from chapter to chapter - it’s a well written course book. I would however, as a memory aid, prefer the book to be more colourful (for example, as in Hueber’s Schritte plus series) but that’s just my own preference. It’s not a problem though and it forces me to make my own notes, but that does take up a lot of home time on this intensive course. Overall though I am very pleased with this course
Professional service, excellent teacher! Strongly recommend
Teacher Isabelle is so far the best german teacher among all the ones I've ever met! I have been struggled so much with complex grammer and vocabularies in B1 german course, but with Isabelle, especially thanks to her thorough and detailed way of teaching, it has been so much fun and very motivating! You will be surprised how engaging and committing she is with students. Vox also provides all the infra we need to learn without any obstacles. Their administration is neat and often very supportive with different options. Thank you so much Isabelle and Vox, can't wait to continue my learning journey with you!
Nathalie Nüssli is a wonderful teacher and we were very fortunate to have a great group. I learnt so much more than I would have on my own.
My teacher Yana has been so supporting throughout the course and helped me improve my German giving me more confidence to speak 😊💪🏻
(Translated by Google) I am taught by Tatiana. I'm super satisfied and couldn't imagine a better lecturer. She explains it to me really well, has a lot of patience and encourages me. Thank you. (Original) Ich werde von Tatiana unterrichtet. Bin super zufrieden und könnte mir keine bessere Dozentin vorstellen. Sie erklärt es mir super, hat viel Geduld und fördert mich. Vielen Dank.
(Translated by Google) The course is incredible. It helps you learn and understand the German language in every way. (Original) Der Kurs ist unglaublich. Es hilft die deutsche Sprache in jeder Hinsicht zu lernen und zu verstehen.
Excellent school! One of the best schools I had the pleasure to work with, great teachers, attention to detail and demands! Very well prepared teachers, prompt in answering, great learning experience! Thank you Vox and Elisaveta Savina! Highly recommend!
