TOEFL iBT preparation: full exam or specific sections

From 66 € /h

One of the most effective ways to prepare for these exams is with a native speaker.

We can focus on one area of the test for a single lesson... or even just last-minute conversation preparation.

Another option is to work together to prepare for each area of the exam over 5 or 10 lessons together.

The TOEFL iBT ® test has 4 sections: Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing. During the test, you'll perform tasks that combine these 4 English communication skills, such as: read, listen and then speak in response to a question. listen and then speak in response to a question.

About Me

Hello! I enjoy teaching English because I believe that languages help us unlock the key to truly understanding people who live in places where those languages are spoken.

I am an experienced teacher who also continues learning other languages myself. I have taught English in several countries on three different continents. So I appreciate that my students will have different needs based on where they live and what they want to accomplish with their language skills.

I adapt my teaching style to what my students want/need: do you need a serious coach to prepare for the TOEFL or another exam? Or do you need a fun, laidback lesson to help you learn more about how to use American idioms in everyday conversation? I have experience in both of these situations and everything in-between.
