This is your personal guide to teaching B2 Cambridge English First – on your schedule. You work through the B2 First exam together with a native speaking English trainer. You learn about the exam's structure, the exam certificate and all four components:
- Reading and use of English
- Writing
- Listening
- Speaking
You ask the questions that matter to you and we go at a pace that suits you.
From there, we move into course and lesson planning. You get to know the Compact First textbook and how to teach from it. We work through your course timeline together and you draft your first lesson outlines with direct, personal feedback from your trainer. You also get the chance to discuss your own ideas with your trainer, who is also your sparring partner. In addition, we will cover – Cambridge's online platform – and share additional digital resources to bring your Cambridge lessons to life.
