English B2
This level is suitable for anyone who wants to consolidate the vocabulary and grammar knowledge they have acquired so far. Reading and listening texts of greater difficulty are added, which is a challenge, testing all the knowledge gained through the levels so far. Also, the level is recommended for people who want to work in an English-speaking company, live in an English-speaking country or study in a preparatory course for universities where the teaching is in English.
On successful completion of the English B2 course you will be able to use a wide variety of vocabulary to describe unusual situations or express the causes and effects of a problem, while also using more specific grammatical tenses and structures. Preparing and delivering presentations, presenting arguments, answering questions fully and reasoned and discussing abstract topics will be a perfectly possible and enjoyable task. In addition, your communication skills will be greatly improved; you will speak with clear, natural pronunciation and intonation, putting good rhythm into sentences without making any significant errors. Reading, understanding and synthesising essential information from articles and reports will be much easier. You will also be able, when listening, to understand to a great extent the information from reports, documentaries and interviews circulated in the media. Last but not least, you will be able to write detailed texts, synthesize information from several different sources and evaluate a report.

The programme of the Upper-intermediate (B2) level English course is based on the English File system, which sets clear objectives from the beginning of the course in terms of language skills and accuracy of expression. The material is developed in 10 lessons, focusing on a variety of grammatical and vocabulary structures that help students to express themselves relatively fluently on both general topics and more in-depth and abstract issues. At the end of each lesson, there is a separate section on conversational English, which emphasizes listening to and understanding authentic English conversational speech at varying speeds and with a variety of accents, as well as exercises introducing colloquial and slang phrases. The texts presented are of increased difficulty in order to practise, consolidate and build on knowledge. In addition, the system provides guidelines and examples for producing written texts, as well as a revision section to consolidate the knowledge and skills acquired in the lesson.

Our customers are our mirror. It is extremely important for us to receive sincere feedback about training with us.
I would like to thank the whole team for the opportunity to learn English. Very honest and kind women. The lady is a very high level teacher. I'm glad I came across her and she stimulated me to continue learning the language. Special congratulations for the organization of the classes and the learning system. Enjoyable lessons that give you the knowledge you need.
Everything was helpful - the explanations of the rules, the grammar exercises, the reading comprehension tests.
I have no recommendations, you are great. You've achieved optimal workload with two visits a week. The volume of new material is also optimal. For the class end time, if we have questions there is an extension of a few minutes which is a positive. Sorry I didn't find you sooner.
I would like to express my immense gratitude to my tutor, thank you for your professional attitude, patience and calmness. I was very comfortable throughout, I felt no anxiety and things happened with ease. I am also grateful for the invaluable advice and support and I would like to say that the training was very useful for me. I would recommend Intellect to anyone interested in language training. Thank you once again.
Very good teacher with a broken down teaching approach that met my expectations. I would continue my studies at a later stage.
At the moment I am very satisfied with the training and the teacher. We are currently a group of 6 and I think it is optimal, if we were more it would be difficult for everyone to actively participate.
