What is TOEFL Tutor?

TOEFL Tutor is an all-in-one tutor system to help you prepare for your TOEFL exam. Most online TOEFL prep courses provide you with TOEFL practice questions and generic studying tips. What makes TOEFL Tutor different is its complete studying system, which includes:

• TOEFL reading, listening, speaking, and writing lessons
• Critical English lessons
• TOEFL practice questions
• Full TOEFL test simulations
• Speaking and writing scores and feedback
• one-on-one instant messaging communication with TOEFL/English instructors
• TOEFL vocabulary flashcards/lists/exercises

You can access it 24/7, but more important is how you'll use it to achieve your target score.

How to use TOEFL Tutor to Achieve your Target Score?

The following guide will help you efficiently and effectively use our preparation course to achieve your target score in TOEFL.

1. Take a full simulated test or practice test by clicking the TOEFL Tests link or click here Go to TOEFL Test Simulation page.
2. After completing the test, view the DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS. To view them, CLICK the View Score Report button. The results provide you with a detailed analysis on your performance, some useful tips and strategies for improving your weaker areas, a checklist of questions and lessons to complete, and an estimate of how long you should study to achieve your goal.
3. Based on the DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS, use our TOEFL LESSONS to learn the necessary tips and strategies and use the TEST/STUDY Mode section to hone your skills.

Once your scores improve, or you feel ready, repeat steps 1-3.

What If My Score Doesn't Improve?

Overall, you need to slow down. There is a good chance you are just completing practices without focusing on improving your skills, so slow down and focus on why you made a mistake and how not to make that mistake in the future.

Improving your Reading & Listening

1. Improve your vocabulary. Stop and learn all words you do not know.
2. If you are struggling with a section or specific question type, stop and go read/re-read our LESSONS. You might have missed something or did not fully understand it the first time.
3. Learn about each question type, so you have a better idea what to look for when you are reading/listening.
4. Focus heavily on your Grammar. It will help with understanding what you are reading/listening to.
5. Practice without the timer.
   • If you're really struggling, do not worry about the timer for now.
   • Practice what we teach you in the lessons slowly.
   • After improvement, start using a timer, but give yourself a little longer still.
   • Determine which question types you continue to get wrong and figure out why.
   • Use the allotted time once you are ready.

Improving your Speaking & Writing

1. Improve your vocabulary. Stop and learn all words you do not know.
2. If you are struggling with a section or specific question type, stop and go read/re-read our LESSONS. You might have missed something or did not fully understand it the first time.
3. Focus heavily on your Grammar. Poor grammar will really affect your speaking and writing scores.
4. Practice without the timer.
   • Get used to coming up with ideas. Take your time and write down notes.
   • Next, practice with a timer, but give yourself double the time and remember to take and use your notes.
   • Finally, once you feel you can handle double the time from step 2, it's time to start preparing with the actual TOEFL timers. (Please be aware that you can ONLY use this technique with the MOCK TESTS as the simulation/practice tests enforce the allotted time frames.)

What If I Only Need Preparation for One Section?

No problem! Our system allows you to study sections individually. You'll even get a complete DIAGNOSTIC RESULT for each section, so you can choose which section/sections you want to focus on.

TOEFL Tutor Frequently Asked Questions

TOEFL Tutor is fairly self-explanatory, but we've had some great questions by inquisitive students.

What about your TOEFL simulations? I've experienced them on other sites and they don't compare in length or quality to an actual TOEFL exam. How close to the real exam are your tests?

Our TOEFL simulations were developed to look and feel almost identical to an actual TOEFL exam. A full length TOEFL simulation, just like TOEFL, will take you around 2 hours to complete. The questions were developed with difficulty in mind, though some students have noted our questions can be even more difficult, which is great for training. If you're curious about our TOEFL simulation test, you can experience it for yourself free of charge. Go to TOEFL Test Simulation page

Can BestMyTest replace an English tutor?

We'll never tell you not to use an English tutor, because when it comes to learning a language there really is no replacement to in person one-on-one learning (it can be quite expensive though).

We created TOEFL Tutor so that you're taught by several professional English teachers. With over 20 years experience teaching TOEFL, our TOEFL instructors helped us develop all TOEFL lessons and our instructors will review your speaking and writing answers and answer any questions you may have about English or TOEFL via our instant messaging system called Ask-An-Instructor.

All-in-all, BestMyTest is your TOEFL Tutor and you have an assortment of tools and resources that will help you achieve your target TOEFL score.

• Basic lessons: Basic lessons systematically teach you everything you need to know to ace the TOEFL test: all the basic skills you'll be tested on, the many proven techniques for handling TOEFL-specific question types, and strategies that can maximize your overall performance on the test.

• Categorized lessons and 1000s of TOEFL practice questions: Your Lessons and TOEFL practice questions are categorized into different categories, allowing you to study all related material in one centralized place. This also helps make reviewing your work much easier.
• A complete road map: The road map is an all-in-one program allowing you to learn at your own pace, wherever you are, and analyze your progress at every stage.

How long should I spend studying with TOEFL Tutor?

As a general rule, we recommend that you commit daily sessions between 30 minutes to 2.5 hours long and remember to take breaks after each session. Of course you can spend more time, if you like, but for your own benefit at least 30 minutes a day.

However, if you're serious about your TOEFL preparation, we recommend you complete our TOEFL Test to get a full diagnostic report to get a better idea how long you need to study with BestMyTest to achieve your target score.
