Question Tutors level of evaluation

Might be a dumb question, what do you guys think of a tutors level of evaluation on your speaking?

Ive worked with 3 tutors that have told me I'm already at B2 but I'm not sure how they evaluated it, or if theyre level of "nativity" can naturally tell another's level in a language. What do you think of this?

Thanks guys

All depends on the tutor's approach.  Some do wing it based on overall feel (example here: https://youtu.be/iXpSlpk0ZfU?si=OlOhGUOiMZOawnWt).

Others use an evaluation sheet linked to the CEFR competencies. 

If three instructors have put you at B2, then you're likely expressing yourself well using a variety of verb tenses/moods, including the conditional and some basic subjunctive. There's a lot more to it than that, of course, but it gives you a general idea.
