My name is Mariana. I took a TOEFL test last year and I got the score 78. I needed 79 to apply for MBA.
Thank you so much for you help! Your lessons were really helpful for me!
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.
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
Michael,
I can say that it’s very important to organize your time efficiently to reach your target score.
my first toefl was 72 and after 3 months I was able to score 84.
Therefore I think it’s important to have strategy in your study, by the way I want to thank you Mr Michael your tips were very helpful to me especially in speaking section because I scored 23.

Comments to Thao in response to his question: “I’m a student who is learning Toefl ibt. I registered to take this one on 12th of June but now I still don’t have any good skill. I took the toefl practice test 3 days ago and just got score 55. I feel very disappointed and tired. I must get at least score 65 to achieve A-level course condition.
Today, luckily I found your page and it seems very helpful for me. However, I want to send a mail for you to ask for help. Can you give me a advice for taking Toefl test next week?”

Hi, Michael,
I took TOEFL first time on 23rd of January. My score was 87. The on 2nd April i decided to take exam on 11 April once again and bought your writing and speaking lessons. You advised me to work on these parts of toefl because one week is not enough to improve my reading and listening.
Thank you for your help. Really your lessons work. My writting is 27, speaking 23. My result is 88, because my reading is not so good. However I am really gratefull for your help. I am going to take the exam once again but later and buy all your lessons and work hard on my reading. Your lessons helped me to improve my writting and speaking.
Best regards,
Dinara
Thank you once again.
Best regards,
Dinara
Mandi,

Hi Michael,
Thank you for all the help with the Toefl ibt, I have some problems with managing my subscriptions (blocking notifications) from bettertoeflscores.com to my e-mail, I always get this message: “You may not access this page without a valid key.” when I use the URL given on the website or in the notification e-mail, could you please unsubscribe me or provide the applicable information needed to control this.
Thanks and kind regards,
BG
Thank you so much Prof. Buckoff for the encouragement! I am very happy to be student of your online course. I am looking forward to working hard towards better TOEFL score. I completed my first pre-test and waiting for your evaluation.
Omkar,
The problems that “I am unable to decide where to pause, I cannot decide which word should be stressed” are exactly the reason I designed the Speak Clearly subscription service: to help you improve in those and all other areas related to the speaking of academic English. I am very happy to have you as a student.
1. Immediately, complete the first intelligibility pre-test so that I can give you feedback on your speaking and pronunciation of American English.
2. Then, I will recommend which vowel and consonant sound lessons (I have a lesson for every vowel and consonant sound of American English!) will help you to improve your speaking and pronunciation the most.
3. Once you complete the first half of the course, complete the second intelligibility pre-test, which will evaluate your use of syllable division, grammatical word endings, word stress, sentence rhythm, intonation, thought groups (pausing), and blending.
4. Of course, based on the results from that pre-test, I will make recommendations for which lessons in the second half of the course will help you the most.
Working together, we solve your speaking and pronunciation problems and help you score higher on your TOEFL speaking.
Good luck to you!
Michael
