TOEFL (Part Time)

Speaking:  The student’s ability to communicate is enhanced in a private one-on-one setting.  Each student is privileged to an approximately 10-15 minute session with the teacher.  The teacher gives instant feedback and comments regarding all verbal aspects related to TOEFL: articulation, clarity, organization, delivery, format, and comprehension.  The student gains familiarity with all the types of TOEFL questions and knows how to respond effectively to any given topic.

Writing:  Both the integrated summary and the independent essay are given alternately each week.  The student is exposed to the most practical writing strategies and skills for handling both types of questions.  Written assignments are corrected and evaluated to enhance the student’s writing ability.  The teacher will focus on developing and perfecting the student’s TOEFL writing skills in organization, vocabulary, sentence structure, expressions and the use of transitional words to achieve a high score in the written section.  The student will also receive a sample written response from the teacher.

Reading:  A variety of academic topics are given.  The reading is accompanied by the teacher’s clear, comprehensive explanation on the historical, scientific or cultural background, vocabulary and key phrases.  Answers are given and instantly reviewed to clarify the questions students may have.  Vocabulary is one of the prominent aspects of the lecture.  TOEFL reading skills and strategies are delivered to the student on a regular basis.

Listening:  A brief description of the listening passage is given and difficult words are explained prior to the actual listening.  The student will become more familiar with the lecture and retain knowledge of what they have heard.
