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.

Progressing from the B1 to B2 level in German is one of the most challenging steps. VOX was receptive to our class's feedback and made the necessary changes to our course. Additionally, our teacher, Andersen, was very patient and deeply committed to our language learning success. He worked tirelessly for us and consistently went above and beyond what most teachers would do.
Good lecturer with excellent teaching skills which pinpointed our pronunciation / grammar / vocab mistakes whenever we are practising German conversation.
(Translated by Google) I really like VOX!😍Especially our teacher - Priska!🫶🏻 It's very easy to learn a new language at this school because there's not just learning the rules, but also lots of speaking practice. After two months, I feel comfortable speaking German with native speakers. Every class is incredibly interesting and informative because we discuss many entertaining topics and learn a lot about the language. I'm very happy with VOX🙏🏽 (Original) VOX gefällt mir wirklich sehr!😍Besonders unsere Lehrerin - Priska!🫶🏻 Mann kann in dieser Schule sehr einfach eine neue Sprache lernen, weil es nicht nur Regeln lernen gibt, aber viel Sprechübungen. Nach 2 Monaten kann ich mich wohl fühlen, wenn ich Deutsch mit Muttersprachlern spreche. Jeder Unterricht ist mega interessant und aufschlussreich, weil wir viele unterhaltende Themen diskutieren und viele neue über die Sprache lernen. Ich bin ja sehr zufrieden mit VOX🙏🏽
I have a very good experience with VOX Language School. They work in small groups, have an individual approach and competent teachers.
I'm on my second course learning German with vox and enjoying every minute of it! Had 3 different teachers so far and each of them have been super knowledgeable and bring a clear structure to the course, while also keeping an eye on the progress of the students, making sure that they are understanding the topics. Definitely recommend.
We’ve taken the A1 and A2 classes with Maria from Voxsprachschule, and it’s been great. Learned at a very high pace, tailored to our skill sets. Maria made the discussions enjoyable and interactive. Highly, highly recommended!
Tatjana is a very good teacher. I'm moving forward with every lesson I've taken. There are tangible results shown are the end of every lesson.
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
(Translated by Google) Last fall, I attended private French lessons for several weeks and was very satisfied with the support and preparation provided by the teacher. We structured the course very dynamically and focused on speaking. He was able to identify individual weaknesses and focus on them, while also being able to confidently and effectively answer frequently asked questions about the French language. I can definitely recommend the language school without reservation! (Original) Im letzten Herbst habe ich über mehrere Wochen Privatstunden in Französisch besucht und war mit der Betreuung und Vorbereitungs des Sprachlehrers sehr zufrieden. Wir haben den Kurs sehr dynamisch ausgestaltet und den Fokus aufs Sprechen gelegt. Dabei hat er einerseits individuelle Schwächen erkannt und darauf den Lernfokus gelegt und andererseits konnte er immer wieder auftauchende Spontanfragen zur französischen Sprache stets souverän und gut beantworten. Kann die Sprachschule auf jeden Fall uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen!
(Translated by Google) I'm glad I chose a B2 German course with the VOX language school; I'm simply satisfied with it. It's worth paying a little more, but the quality is good...👍👍 (Original) Ich bin froh, dass ich mit der VOX Sprachschule einen B2 Deutschkurs entschieden habe, mit der bin ich einfach zufrieden. Es lont sich ein bisschen mehr bezahlen aber gute Qualität…👍👍
After 13+ years in Switzerland I finally enrolled myself in super intensive German lessons A1 and chose VOX based on stellar online reviews. I can fully echo all the positive reviews as the class sizes are small and ideal for learning and the instructors (Felicity) are extremely patient and awesome. Registration is a breeze and the central location makes it easily accessible via public transportation. Looking forward to A2 and I can definitely recommend VOX to anyone who is ready to learn German!
(Translated by Google) Everything was excellent, especially the teacher Leonie. She takes the lessons seriously and tries to educate everyone. My only criticism is the very small room. The room is on the 5th floor, Room 6. Finally, I would like to thank you for the fair price. Best regards, Yasin (Original) Alles war sehr gut, insbesondere die Lehrerin Leonie. Sie nimmt den Unterricht ernst und versucht, alle beizubringen. Kritik kann ich nur über den Raum nennen, der sehr klein war. Der Raum ist im 5.Stock Zimmer 6. Ich bedanke mich bei Ihnen schliesslich für die faire Kosten. Lieben Gruss Yasin
