Classes for B2 English
Promova offers two tutoring programs for online B2 English lessons:
What are the lessons like
— 01
Expand your horizons
You’re likely comfortable using English in your career and daily life at this stage. However, B2 learning will require you to go past familiar territory and conquer new topics. You’ll work with your tutor to create a roadmap for what you want to learn based on your goals and ambitions.
You will enrich your already solid grammar with comparative structures and advanced causation. This will help you comfortably talk about change and abstract topics such as decision-making.
To summarize, your B2 lessons will focus on expanding your command of language beyond familiar topics to help set you up for success.
— 02
Build comprehension
As a B2 learner, you already have enough speaking confidence to express your thoughts and ideas. However, going further will require you to make arguments, assess opinions, and clarify the views of others during discussions.
Moreover, you must have the independence to break the fluency barrier. This means no longer having to look things up. You must understand context and nuance, have a strong active vocabulary, and no longer need much help to make sense of the things you read or hear.
Of course, you’ll need guidance from your teacher and hours of focused learning to get there, but intuitive comprehension of English is well worth it in the end.
— 03
Learn from experience
Practice makes perfect, and you should be comfortable taking the floor at this stage. This means learning to research and craft powerful presentations to help others understand your points. It also means writing about various topics with increasingly complex lines of argument.
To succeed, you need not only an excellent command of English but also communication skills and clarity of thought. Experience can help you master the language and fluently express yourself in different situations.
For this reason, your B2 lessons won’t follow a rigid structure. Instead, they will adapt to your needs in the moment, creating room for spontaneous expression.

I want to thank Promova Company, where I studied English (Intermediate and Upper-intermediate levels) and was very pleased with the result. Special thanks to our teacher! Classes were always active and interesting, with an individual approach. And the grammar, with which I had problems, the tutor explained very clearly. Thanks again!

Impressions about the company are only positive. The English course was very interesting. There were clear textbooks and a pleasant team. I was taught to speak! I'm going to continue my studies at Promova, only at a different level.

Frequently asked questions
Who is this course for?
The B2 English language level helps learners add nuance and complexity to their existing skills. Therefore, you should only take the B2 course if you have a strong enough command of English and want to forge toward fluency.
At this point, you should build grammatically correct sentences, express your opinions, and navigate topics within your area of interest. From there, your certified tutor can help you fluently articulate your ideas, collaborate with others, and understand English in various contexts.
Is B2 English level fluent?
Fluency exists on a continuum, and the B2 English language level indicates you can effortlessly communicate with native speakers. You can have complex conversations, talk about abstract ideas, and bring conditions into the mix.
Furthermore, you can support discussions and identify common goals with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds. Taking English lessons for the upper-intermediate level helps you transition from factual information to the world of ideas and arguments.
In short, B2 is a huge stepping stone toward fluency and effortless communication in English.
How to get from B2 to the C1 level?
In general, learners need 100-120 hours of guided practice to go from one language level to the next. However, this is often more difficult for B2 students transitioning to C1 because these levels already show good mastery of the language.
Firstly, write a lot. Even on social media - Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Linkedin - these sites can help you learn new topics and expand your vocabulary. Secondly, practice talking about ideas and making arguments. Read about ideas and subjects outside your immediate knowledge and expertise.
Lastly, have as many deep conversations as possible with native-like speakers. This can mean talking to foreign friends on the internet, joining a speaking club, or learning with your tutor on Promova. You must practice to the point where you can comfortably think in English without help.
What can you do at the B2 level?
At the Upper-Intermediate level, you can handle any situation as long as it falls in your area of interest. For example, you can succeed in your professional environment, study abroad, and navigate problems in a foreign country. Moreover, you can get your points across and have written correspondence with friends and colleagues.
However, you might still have difficulties with spontaneous situations and topics outside your experience. For example, following extended speech about unfamiliar specialized subjects may be difficult. You may also find it tough to mediate conversations, mainly if some speakers use a lot of colloquialisms and unfamiliar expressions.
What you need to know for B2 level English
B2 English is your ticket to a successful personal and professional life in an English-speaking environment. At this point, you can function and succeed at international companies and foreign institutions.
You need firm command of grammar and an extensive vocabulary that applies to many situations. Furthermore, B2 also indicates that you are comfortable talking about choices and consequences - which means a good command of English and communication as a whole.
