I have helped hundreds of people pass their B2 First exam at no cost, and I would LOVE to keep it that way. Of course, I still have to maintain a full time job while running this channel, and BELIEVE ME, I spend the majority of my free time writing, recording, editing and publishing videos. I love doing this, but I would love it even more if I could do it for a living!
If every student that PASSED their exams bought one beer for Bruce I’d be able to do this full time. That would be MARVELLOUS!
So, if you’ve PASSED your B2 First exam, and feel that SMASH English really helped, please consider donating here:


This is not an obligation. One of the fantastic things about SMASH English is that it is free for everyone that needs it! This will not change. However, if you do feel you can say thanks with a little bit of money then that’s fantastic.
Thank you all!
Toby.

[simocomy]

I received today the results and i passed the b2 exam after i watched a lot of videos of smash english, you are my hero ❤

[Scarpez_]

Tomorrow I have my B2 exam and I've spent all afternoon watching your videos for tips. Thanks for these videos you provide they are very useful and I love them.

[gibetterebutti]

I used to think that I would not be able to understand the B2 exercises, but now with your videos I realized that I've improved a lot! Thank you so much, your videos are so useful and even more the funniest way to learn English!

[Nerdense]

Yeah, I agree with you. This is one of the tracks I've ever heard in my life. I love your videos!

[martinsmitak]

Dear Toby, I am preparing for this exam and I am very grateful for all your videos! You’re a great guy, love your hair.

[fashion_killah]

Thank you for the new episode! I started to do the Use of English & Reading exercises better after watching your videos. But unfortunately, there's no opportunity to pass the FCE exam in Russia now.

Great video and charismatic Toby as usual

[francoleguizamon]

Grea video, Toby! Thanks. Last year I did the B1 Anglia exam so when the certificate made its way to Argentina I noticed that I score 94% on reading and 78% on listening! I couldn't believe it. So, now I'm immersing myself in tons of spoken English

[enouchtan]

Finally, I passed the B2 exam! Thank you so much! Your amazing and creative teaching skills really help me to improve my English level a lot!

[fitorehajrullai]

Thank you very much for the content you provide 😊❤

[Nunaromedus]

For me the listening part is far easier then the reading part:) Maybe the texts for the Reading are harder than the conversations for the Listening? I personally think so. I noticed that for the Reading there are more advanced vocabulary, for example.

[kelvinbazan]

Hi me! I gonna take the examen in 1 years or 3 months ! You can do it mijo

[luexbou]

Tomorrow I’ll have my b2 exam, thank you! 😅😅😅
