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.

I’ve been studying English in this school for 4 months. The rooms are well equipped with round tables and interactive whiteboards; study materials are up to date and in general the organisation is great! I highly recommend Kathleen as a professor.
They are best in their profession!!!
(Translated by Google) I wholeheartedly recommend this school. I've been teaching at Vox for two years now and I find the entire team incredibly dedicated. They always strive to find solutions for both language learners and teachers, without being afraid to forge their own path as a language school and to invent and offer new models. I enjoy being part of it! (Original) Ich empfehle diese Schule von ganzem Herzen. Bereits 2 Jahre unterrichte ich jetzt bei Vox und finde, dass das ganze Team mit grossem Einsatz arbeitet. Es wird immer versucht, Lösungen für die Sprachlernenden sowie für die Lehrenden zu finden, ohne Angst, als Sprachschule einen eigenen Weg zu gehen und neue Modelle zu erfinden und anzubieten. Mir macht es Freude, hier mitzuwirken!
Very nice school with a nice and flexible teachers :)
Best Language School in Zürich. Top Teachers, Professional Experience, Close Attention, Fast Response rate, Best Location
I am super happy with my experience with VOX. The online intensive three-month course has helped me greatly, and I like how small the classes are. My teacher Anna is just fantastic! Super motivating, helpful, and truly wants us to succeed on our language journey ☺️ I highly recommend VOX
(Translated by Google) I participated in the online intensive German course at level C1 and am completely satisfied with my experience at the Vox language school. Communication with the office was always friendly, quick, and very helpful. The teacher was not only very competent but also always available. The intensive course consists of three 120-minute lessons per week, but students are expected to dedicate plenty of time to studying between lessons. In class, grammar rules are reviewed, reading and listening comprehension exercises are conducted, and pronunciation is improved. The teacher assigns written or oral tasks to the whole class, but if someone is having significant difficulties with certain topics, they also receive individual assistance. Written work is corrected every time, which is very helpful in preparing for the written part of the exam. (Original) Ich habe an dem Online-Intensiv-Deutschkurs Niveau C1 teilgenommen und bin mit meiner Erfahrung bei der Vox-Sprachschule voll und ganz zufrieden. Die Kommunikation mit dem Sekretariat war immer freundlich, schnell und sehr hilfreich. Die Lehrerin war nicht nur sehr kompetent, sondern immer verfügbar. Beim Intensivkurs gibt es 3 Unterrichtsstunden à 120 Minuten pro Woche, aber die Studentinnen/Studenten sollen viele Lernstunden zwischen den Unterrichtsstunden einplanen. Im Unterricht werden die Grammatikregeln wiederholt, Übungen zum Textverständnis und Hörverständnis durchgeführt und die Aussprache verbessert. Die Lehrerin vergibt jeweils schriftliche oder mündliche Aufgaben für die ganze Klasse, aber, wenn Man große Schwierigkeiten mit bestimmten Themen hat, wird ihm auch bei einzelnen Aufgaben geholfen. Die schriftlichen Arbeiten werden auch jedes Mal korrigiert und das hilft sehr bei der Vorbereitung auf den schriftlichen Teil der Prüfung.
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) As a teacher, I find teaching at VOX incredibly rewarding. Not only is the organization excellent, but the groups I've had the pleasure of teaching have always been very dynamic, motivated, and engaging. Overall, it's a superb learning environment. (Original) Als Lehrerin bereitet mir das Unterrichten bei VOX unglaubliche Freude. Nicht nur die Organisation ist top, sondern auch die Gruppen, welche ich unterrichten durfte, waren immer sehr dynamisch, motiviert und unterhaltsam. Im Grossen und Ganzen eine ausgezeichnete Lernatmosphäre.
It is a nice language school. Teachers are professional and care students and their needs. The program is well planned as a student’s level. One of my friends strongly recommended me here and I will do as well. I am improving a lot here.
I would like to express my satisfaction with the school in general and my German teacher, Ms. Olga Chincholle, in particular. Starting from a prompt and highly organized reception and course orientation, followed by professionalism of my teacher - everything is perfect so far. The most important is the fact, that the course is fully oriented towards my personal level and needs. I'm glad to have this experience!
(Translated by Google) Very satisfied! Thank you! I'd gladly order again. (Original) Sehr zufrieden! Danke! Gerne wieder
