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) I really enjoyed the course. Our teacher, Leah, was excellent at addressing our goals and needs and managed to bring them all together. I made the most progress in speaking. The many conversations during the lessons allowed me to speak much more fluently and expanded my active vocabulary. With Leah, we often looked at the etymology, precise meaning, and usage of new vocabulary, which made it much easier for me to remember and understand them. Leah's attentive and friendly teaching style suited me perfectly. I would definitely take her classes again. Off the top of my head, nothing comes to mind that could have been improved, except perhaps that we only received the books halfway through the course, which wasn't your fault and wasn't really a problem. Leah handled it brilliantly :) (Original) Der Kurs hat mir richtig gut gefallen. Unsere Lehrerin Leah ist super auf unsere Ziele und Bedürfnisse eingegangen und hat es geschafft diese unter einen Hut zu bringen. Den grössten Fortschritt habe ich beim Sprechen gemacht. Die vielen Unterhaltungen während den Lektionen haben es mir ermöglicht nun einiges fliessender sprechen zu können und hat meinen aktiven Wortschatz erweitert. Wir haben mit Leah oft die Wortherkunft, die genaue Bedeutung und den „Verwendungsbereich“ von neuen Vokabeln angeschaut, was es mir enorm erleichtert hat mir diese zu merken und zu verstehen. Leahs aufmerksame und sympathische Art zu unterrichten hat sehr gut zu mir gepasst. Ich würde sofort wieder zu ihr in den Unterricht gehen. Gerade spontan kommt mir nichts in den Sinn, das man hätte besser machen können, ausser vielleicht dass wir die Bücher erst Mitte des Kurses erhalten haben, was erstens nicht euer Fehler war und zweitens gar nicht so gestört hat. Leah hat das super gemanagt :)
loved the learning experience at Vox at the B1 level. Saida is professional, empathetic, and simply an awesome teacher. I’m very glad I made the decision to study at Vox.
Small groups, good progress, relaxed atmosphere
Great location and very professional and motivated teachers. Have been going there for a year now and can totally recommend it!
(Translated by Google) I took an A2 German course via videoconference because I found it convenient. There were between 3 and 4 students in the group, which made it easy to ask questions and get personalized advice. (Original) J'ai suivi un cours de A2 Allemand en vidéoconférence car je trouvais ça pratique. Nous étions entre 3 et 4 élèves dans le groupe ce qui permet de facilement poser des questions et d'avoir des conseils personnalisés.
I just finished the A2 online course with Lili and could not be happier. With only 4 people in the class, there is plenty of opportunity to speak, something that is difficult in most other schools. We received great personalised feedback as this amount of students is also much more manageable for the teacher. After trying 3 other language schools online and in Zurich, this is the one I will continue my education with.
👍🏼
My teacher Joline was extremely professional, well prepared and attentive to all my needs. I recommend to each person who wants to improve their language skill to apply to VOX
Highly recommend it!!
Very nice school with a nice and flexible teachers :)
Priska is an excellent teacher. Very happy with the class!
(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 .
