TOEFL® IBT Test Preparation

Thinking of studying at a college or university in the United States? Taking the TOEFL® is a necessary step for any non-US educated student who wants to study in North America. It is also increasingly required from other educational institutions throughout the world, as well as a desired or mandatory job qualification.

TOEFL® is an abbreviation for Test of English as a Foreign Language. It measures your ability to communicate in English in colleges and universities and is accepted by 7,000+ destinations in more than 130 countries. It is the most widely accepted English-language test in the world.

In the TOEFL® exam, the four language skills, which are effective for communication, are tested. These are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. TOEFL® exists in two versions; the internet based (iBT) and paper based. These days, most of the TOEFL® centers use the internet based one. The test is convenient because you can take it from any of the centers and it only requires a couple of hours to complete.

We will provide you with a very comprehensive TOEFL® preparation study focused on techniques and strategies on how to master the components required by the test, such as reading comprehension, listening, and writing.

The TOEFL® iBT Test Preparation course has been set up to be taken by the students who have already completed our general advanced level 6 or as a private course.
