"How is learning from Jaime Miller different from other online tutors and schools?"

• The Tutor. Every class is taught by me, Jaime Miller. I started guiding foreign-trained professionals to get very high scores on TOEFL iBT like 26 on Speaking in 2010. Since then, it has been my full-time job. I did not develop my approach for TOEFL iBT Reading and Listening by watching free YouTube videos and repeating what other people in the industry are already saying. I developed my approach by having conversations with hundreds of students in hundreds of hours of lessons and meetings about why they have low scores in TOEFL iBT Reading and Listening...

• The Organization. All of the suggestions fit together in a logical way. You won't waste time searching YouTube, dealing with advertisements, and wondering if a random tutor's advice fits with all the other strategies that you're already using.
• The Schedule. You can start watching the video classes right away, and continue at your own pace and convenience.

How do you organize all of the unfamiliar vocabulary that you find when you read TOEFL iBT Reading passages and review the transcripts for TOEFL Lectures and Dialogues?

Since I started helping people get advanced scores on TOEFL iBT in 2010, I've seen lots of mistakes when it comes to memorizing vocabulary. What kind of mistakes?

• Mistake #1: Writing a huge list of vocabulary (either in a notebook or a digital document) that grows into a very, very long document
• Mistake #2:  Adding definitions and lots of synonyms from the dictionary
• Mistake #3: Creating complicated activities -- like this example of a "fill-in-the-blank" activity on a flashcard.

If you are making any of those mistakes, then you will benefit from changing your method and using these Spaced Repetition pouches. The directions for how to use them are on the back and if you have any questions, you can send me an email and ask me.

After my students begin using thee system for Spaced Repetition, they amaze themselves with how much vocabulary they actually learn -- and how quickly it happens. Because they're seeing lots of small results, they're also more motivated to keep studying.
