B2 texts are complex: academic articles, formal correspondence, opinion essays, and nuanced arguments. We train exclusively on these formats — not everyday conversation.

Advanced Sprechen Coaching

Structured debate, presenting arguments, expressing and defending opinions, giving a short presentation — all assessed at B2. Every class includes a speaking component.

Multiple Full Mocks

3–5 timed full-length B2 mock papers with detailed section-by-section feedback. By exam day, you have already done the exam multiple times in practice.

Essay & Formal Writing

The B2 Schreiben section requires structured essays with argument, counter-argument, and conclusion. Bobby marks drafts with written corrections and model answers.
