The Measurable Progress Framework for
TOEFL iBT Reading & Listening
When you register for this online course, you will have access to special presentations inside my website that teach you the strategy and general approach to diagnosing and interpreting your blocks so that you break past your old limits and collect the points so you can move on with your career!
“What happens after I register?”
Step #1: Take A Practice Test
First, you will take a realistic Practice Test with the correct number of TOEFL iBT Reading passages and questions. Then, you’ll do the same for a TOEFL iBT Listening test.
Step #2: Diagnose Your Unique Combination of Issues
After we email you the results of your Practice Test, you can continue with the video lessons and learn how to…
- calculate your score (so you always know if it’s a good time to schedule a real test)
- identify your error trends (so you spend your time and energy studying the right things)
- improve your skills (so that you get better with whatever is blocking you: note-taking, identifying “tricky” answer choices, vocabulary, or managing the time)
Step #3: Study
After you watch the video presentations, you will know effective study schedules and routines that you should follow daily and weekly. When you follow the program, you will always be able to calculate your current score on TOEFL iBT Reading or Listening—so it will be easier for you to make decisions about when to register for the real test.

"How is learning from Jaime Miller different from other online tutors and schools?"
Difference #1: The Tutor
Every lesson 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.
Inside The Measurable Progress Framework for TOEFL iBT Reading and Listening, you’ll find unique and fresh information about how to study for TOEFL iBT Reading and Listening, as well as customizable action plans that guide your studies forward in a productive way.
All of my 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. My approach works together.
You can start watching the video classes right away, and continue at your own pace and convenience.
“Are there any prerequisites?”
Yes.
You will need access to a printer so that you can print the downloadable worksheets.
⚠️ If your score is below 21 on TOEFL iBT Reading and Listening, it is strongly recommended that you also register for Delta’s Key to TOEFL iBT. It has lots of skill-building practice quizzes.
If your score is above 21 on TOEFL iBT Reading and Listening, you will need a source of practice to apply the concepts that you learn about in the videos. Inside the course, you will find recommendations about safe, trustworthy sources of practice.
