To attack the TOEFL, you need to build vocabulary, organize your reading strategies, learn key expressions, eliminate grammatical errors, and master the patterns for writing and verbal responses: all the essential skills for TOEFL. My many years of classroom and tutoring experience has taught me what works. Plus, I enjoy working with my students, and they seem to enjoy working with me.
