Hi Michael,

Today, I received my TOEFL score. My overall score is 100/120. The break up is as follows:

Reading: 22/30

Listening: 25/30

Speaking: 26/30

Writing : 27/30

I want to thank you for helping me. I liked your STEALTH series. I liked your passion about teaching and you want everyone to succeed. I did not have much time to prepare. I was nervous but after watching your lectures, I was confident that I would do fine. Following are suggestions and critique about my performance:


A. I am not happy with my reading section but I had lot of distraction in the room I was taking test. But I think that this an excuse. I could have done better if I would have more time to prepare. I always avoided reading but after this test I decided that I must focus on my reading skills. I have a problem that I repeat every word I read in my mind and that slows me down. I am also not good in using peripheral vision.

B. Although I got 25 scores in listening section but I noticed that I had problem with understanding the intonation of speech. This is very important while learning English. I think I should learn more from native English speakers that what are the implications of intonation in speech.

C. I was very comfortable with my speaking abilities. I would suggest that Mariam Webster dictionary have pronunciation of every word. Everyone should practice the word pronunciation from that website. It is free and easily accessible.

D. Your samples essays gave me the format which I needed to follow. The way I practiced the essay writing that I wrote my own essays on the same topics(that you have written yours essays)and compared my essays with yours.

E. I read following book beside your lecture notes: BARRON’S TOEFL IBT WITH CD-ROM, Internet-Based Test,12th Edition by Pamela Sharpe, Ph.D.

F. Last but not least, I listened to NPR and On Point with Tom Ashbrook on internet. In latter show, you can write your opinion and read others people’s opinions about different topics. I also watched Charlie Rose Show, Aljazeera News (for British English), Link TV, PBS channels, CNN,C-SPAN and National Geographic Channel. I used to take notes while watching and summarized them in my own words after the program ended. I used following websites (apart from you mentioned in your lectures) for reference:
http://www.ToLearnEnglish.com
http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/

In the end, I want to tell you that you should be proud of yourself that what an incredible teacher you are. I am also a teacher but I teach Microsurgery which is little bit different from English and I commend the efforts you put in your students(including me) with continuous guidance through your newsletters and videos.


Please feel free to contact me for any questions and correct this letter.

Take care,


Syed Gillani, MD
