TOEFL iBT preparation, live online
The TOEFL iBT now runs about two hours, and its second writing task is a timed contribution to an academic discussion rather than an independent essay. Ten minutes is not long enough to plan from scratch, so the task rewards a structure you have already rehearsed. Reading and listening are still where careless note-taking quietly costs the most.
What the preparation covers
- Reading: academic passages, inference and vocabulary-in-context questions
- Listening: lectures and conversations, and note-taking that survives the question set
- Speaking: the independent task and the integrated tasks, timed from the first lesson
- Writing: integrated writing, and Writing for an Academic Discussion
- Full-length practice tests, then a review of the answers that cost marks
Group course, or one-to-one
Group · 50 hours
Fifty hours across the four sections, in classes of six, with the skills rotated rather than taught in four separate blocks — the integrated tasks need them working together.
One-to-one
One-to-one lessons when a university has set a minimum on one section. Speaking and writing respond fastest to individual feedback, because the fix is usually structural.
