can u help me i got 6 month’s i need to improve my read and writing wiht your The 7 Step System
Hi MIke,
I have read your ad with interest. In a nutshell, here are my thoughts, subject to approval of management. I wonder if we could collaborate.
I am in China kick-starting a TOEFL program for International high school, first year students 15/16 years old and have two years to do TOEFL score, must get 90 upwards. Its a mixed bag, MARKETING ALL WRONG TAKE ANYONE JUST TO START, of 16 kids, 3 no chances, 8 that can and 5 that MAY depending on Foundation Course I have instigated for all for 4 months, = total revision. The school needs structure, grid program of steps (STEALTH) and results as they need to roll this out much bigger once in place.
My colleague has resigned after 3 weeks, disgust at mess, a serious great teacher…..
So, I was thinking of looking for a Chinese TOEFL component to team, they are good at that, using the minimum 3, 6, 9 month FOUNDATION course for different groups to spark structure, grammar, reading comprehension and listening, holistic/language acquisition backdrop/introducing TOEFL and SAT skills.
Another option would be to work with someone like you, provided we guarantee the connections, get some started as holistic rolls towards January/Feb (8), I work as back up here around you (they also want more depth), I would be interested in your opinion and advise for the 170 hours, roughly have about 800 hours, maybe more over the two years as TOEFL and SAT could share same hours in start.
What are your thoughts, is it a viable option for continuing o study it, can you deal with it? Time zone wise?
Just exploring another way and would love to have expert on board!
Thanks
Rene

Dear Michael,
I took TOEFL IBT 2 years ago my reading was 19 listening-25 writing-18 speaking-20. I think I ve got serious problems with concentration in reading section and writing section especially with integrated writing. Based on this what advice can you give me?
Hi Michael,
I undertook my TOEFL IBT on May 12th. Thanks for the course lessons, they were very helpful. However, I forgot to unsubscribe to your course and automatically the paypal deducted $35 from my credit account. Is it possible to revert back my money. I am sorry about this inconvenience. Thanks!

I took TOEFL test several times and my scores are changing in these following ranges:

Hello Michael,
I am Mrunalini. I took your TOEFL course a couple of months ago. I am stuck with reading and writing on the toefl ibt. In reading I get only 19 and on writing 22. On reading I am good at vocabulary and pronouns. My problem is with summary question, insertion question and inference questions. I did give my TOEFL couple of times, I am not able to understand where I am going wrong. On the writing I am able to do the independent task well. I am able to get 4.0/5.0 whereas on integrated task I am able to score only 2.5 to 3.5. I have been studying English all through my life. What should I do to improve my score. When I took your course I completed all the modules. What should I do next? Can you tell me some strategies on how to ace this exam.
Regards,
M

Hello Micheal
recently I took my toefl exam and my scores are as follows.
Reading 27
writing 27
listening 22
speaking 23
I need to get at least 26 in both listening and speaking sections to appear for my licensing exams. I prepared from barrons, kaplan, and ETS official guide. As per as the listening section is considered I did very well from these materials, even my speaking section is not that bad.But, I did not get good toefl scores from actual toefl, as I expected. I felt little bit difficulty in answering the listening section. My next toefl test date is on may 27th. Do you think I have enough time to practice, to get the required scores. Do you have any thing like crash course which suits for my situation. If you have any, How much I need to pay. Please let me know.
thank you

I am E. from Turkey . I would like to ask you some questions about the TOEFL .
First of all , I was awarded a scholarship to do my master’s degree and as you know I need to take the TOEFL to get an acceptance from the USA universities. I have been attending a TOEFL course for 4 months but I think , it is not an effective course
to improve some skills such as reading , listening.
Second , I will be in the USA in August and before arriving there I should choose the best ELS language center to attend . After surfing your site
I saw , you were teaching in California State University . That is why I would like to ask you that if I choose your University , may I take a class from you or
are you still giving TOEFL lectures there?
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely ,
E.K.

Hello
I would like to examine the TOEFL exam in order to obtain admission to the doctoral program, but my level is very weak in English and especially I would like to get a high mark in this test. Can you help me because I am very afraid of the next stage. Do you have a particular way to deal with the students that their level is very weak?
Thank you

Hi Michael,
I am Brazilian and have studied hard in order to achieve the score to start PhD in Computer Science in Canada. I took the Toefl test on January 28th and achieved a low score of 55 (R = 10 L = 11, S = 14 W = 20). After that I realized that I should improve and work hard in order to improve my academic English background. After two and a half months I retook the Toefl on April 19th and achieve score of 74 (R = 18, L=16, S=18, W=22). I think that I could have achieved more than 18 in the reading section if I could manage my time better. In addition, in the listening section through the three first passages I could pick up the main ideas and details, however after third passage I felt tired and the passages were becoming more unclear for me.
My goal now is to achieve at least 90, I think that if I put this goal in my mind it is more easy to reach 80. I have watched your videos and I think that your system could help me. Based on the last score what advice could you give me? I would like to reach this score in a period of three months.
Thank you,
Regards,
Allan

Unfortunately I couldn’t study so regularly as I thought I would, but I decided not to transpose my first TOEFL exam to any other date, because I wanted to test myself and see how the test works in reality.
I took a few TOEFL examples at home before the test and I found out that some of them were quite easy, but others were not. Usually I didn’t have so many problems at reading and listening section but as you cannot score yourself on other two parts it’s difficult to say what your scores in reality would be. I had a feeling that my biggest problem would be speaking section as I practice speaking the least (once a month or less) and also because I’m still not confident in my English when I speak with native or fluent speaker. I was also a little bit concerned about the duration of the whole test, especially about the speaking section as the preparation time is very short.
So after taking the test I had quite a good feeling, I completed all answers and tasks, all the topics were also quite familiar to me. I was a little bit nervous at the beginning and at the speaking section but otherwise not so much, as I decided to take the test more like a practice than a real exam.
My expectations before test were that I would score maximum 80 in total. On reading section maximum 22 points, listening 22 points, speaking 18 points and writing maximum 18 points.
Just today I get my results and I am very excited about results!
I needed 88 points (22 per each section), so according to my results only writing section is below.
R= 26, L = 22, S = 22, and W = 21 Total = 91.
I’m at the first of your steps now and will go to pronunciations step in next days as I think that I don’t have so many problems with the vocabulary. Do you have any special suggestions for me?
Thanks.
