SOUND LIKE YOU?
You already have my e-course, The Measurable Progress Framework for Speaking. In order to make bigger — or quicker — progress, you need more details about what’s blocking your TOEFL iBT Speaking score.
You want to keep the career you love… without abandoning the education you already have or moving somewhere with lower requirements.
You’re regularly studying 10-15 hours per week. You want to fill that time with the most impactful, score-maximizing activities so that you quickly eliminate the gap between you
and your target score on TOEFL iBT Speaking.
You’re comfortable with technology… and you need an organized, tech-savvy TOEFL tutor who keeps up and evolves with you.
You’re ready to plug back into your power so you stop feeling bullied by the TOEFL test.
LISTEN, I GET YOU …
Listen, I’ve been a foreigner navigating a new city, culture and language. I’ve self-studied and felt how hard it was to be respected when people couldn’t understand me.
I know how frustrating it is to rewire the right pronunciation, grammar or vocabulary—and it feels impossible unless you are using effective tools or activities.
But even then, it’s essential to focus enough time and energy on the right activities so that you actually see results. That’s how I can help you.
Since 2010, I’ve spent over 10,000 hours in Zoom teaching classes about advanced strategies for TOEFL iBT Speaking, American pronunciation and English grammar – as well as coaching and talking with determined foreign-trained professionals about why they’re struggling to reach their goal.
From all that time, I’ve learned there are no “perfect” strategies – only strategies that are “perfect for you.”
The journey to a score of 26 is challenging because you’re evolving. What you need (and the questions you have) in Week 1 is completely different from what you need (and the questions you have) in Week 16.
THAT’S WHY I CREATED
THE PARTNERSHIP FOR S26

points at TOEFL iBT Speaking and more opportunities at work

THE PROGRAM
STEP 1
YOU REGISTER & I SEND
YOUR MATERIALS
After you register, I’ll confirm your address and put your Memory Pouches in the mail the next business day.
I ship from California, and delivery to a US address typically happens within 2-3 business days.
STEP 2
YOU TAKE A
DIAGNOSTIC TEST
We need a clear sense of your strengths and weaknesses before we have any classes so that you don’t waste any time.
Also, we need to begin identifying what the patterns of any “fossilized” errors are.
You’ll log into your account on my website.
You can take the Diagnostic Test any time of day, any day of the week (nights and Saturday or Sunday are possible—but I recommend simulating the reality of a real TOEFL iBT Speaking test as much as possible).
You’ll record yourself saying all 4 TOEFL iBT Speaking tasks on your phone or computer.
STEP 3
YOUR PACKAGE ARRIVES &
YOU GET FEEDBACK
Within 3 business days (not Saturday or Sunday), I’ll provide your feedback report. In the meanwhile, you can get a head-start by watching the special training about how to use Memory Pouches and make your customized flashcards.
Right around this same time, your package should be arriving in the mail, so keep an eye on notifications for your tracking number!
STEP 4
YOU REVIEW FEEDBACK
& CUSTOMIZE YOUR MEMORY POUCHES
You’ll get an email from me with a link to your feedback report.
This summarizes your strengths and what’s already helping you earn your target score on TOEFL iBT Speaking, as well as what’s limiting your score.
You’ll also see the top areas where you must focus to see your scores rise.
Finally, you’ll get a customized list of the flashcards that you must make and use daily with your Memory Pouches.
You’ll watch the training videos on my website and you’ll ask me any questions you have via email.
STEP 5
WE CREATE YOUR
PREMILINARY TOEFL SCHEDULE
Next, it’s time to meet with me in Zoom and set up your Google Calendar.
That will be your navigation dashboard on a daily basis.
The assignments I add to it will guide your daily TOEFL study schedule for 10 to 15 hours per week
for the next few weeks.
STEP 6
YOU ATTEND WEEKLY
GROUP CLASSES
I’ll send you invitations to 14 of these classes. You’re welcome to participate, but even if you don’t feel ready, you’ll benefit a ton just by watching and listening to others.
STEP 7
YOU PREPARE FOR &
ATTEND CLASSES 1 THROUGH 4
In this class, we’ll review…
- Class 1: Assignment from Module 3.12
- Class 2: Assignment from Module 4.8
- Class 3: Assignment from Module 5.8
- Class 4: Assignment from Module 6.8
Each of these 1:1 classes is 20 minutes in Zoom. You’ll make a recording of our full time together. You can schedule these 1 or 2 times per week, depending on how much time you have to study.
Between your private classes, you’ll submit certain activities to SpeechRater. You and I will have follow up discussions via email
STEP 8
YOU PREPARE FOR &
ATTEND CLASSES 5 THROUGH 8
For each of these 4 classes, you’ll study, prepare and submit a full TOEFL iBT Speaking test the day before class.
This gives me time to do a thorough review.
In class, we discuss:
- Your strengths
- Any fluctuations
- The top issues limiting you have
- New flashcards for your Memory Pouches
- Your updated homework schedule
STEP 9
WE MONITOR PROGRESS & DECIDE WHEN TO
REGISTER FOR A REAL TEST
There are a number of consecutive signs that indicate you’re ready to get your TOEFL iBT Speaking score at a real test. As soon as you’re showing those signs consistently, we’ll start discussing options for registering. For some people, this is after Class 5. For others, this is after Class 8, or somewhere between.
