Welcome to Michael Buckhoff’s “7 Step System to Pass the TOEFL iBT Exam!”

You can score high on the TOEFL iBT!

Consider the following thought: “As you take the TOEFL iBT, you are surprised at how easily you answer the reading, speaking, listening, and writing questions. Your concentration is ideal, and, during the test, you exhibit the following characteristics: an extensive vocabulary base, intelligible speech, a thorough knowledge of grammar, attentive listening comprehension abilities, and coherent writing and speaking skills. A couple of weeks after the test, you get your results. You have passed the test! Congratulations!

Stop throwing away your money and try TOEFL lessons with real results.

Of course, many students do not have this type of experience when taking the TOEFL iBT; consequently, they will have to spend thousands of dollars attending Intensive English Programs before their English level is high enough to pass the TOEFL iBT. Additionally, these students will take the TOEFL iBT several times over a period of several years before getting the required score needed to attend an English-speaking university.

Save time and money!

All is not lost, so don’t give up hope. Michael Buckhoff’s “7 Step Program to Pass the TOEFL iBT Exam” is designed for someone just like you– (1) someone who doesn’t want to waste valuable time and money before passing the TOEFL iBT; (2) someone who wants to achieve a high TOEFL iBT score quickly; (3) someone who wants to enter an English-speaking university soon.

Get a lesson today; beat the TOEFL iBT tomorrow!

This intensive TOEFL iBT program, unlike other TOEFL iBT preparation courses, offers 1-1 tutorials with TOEFL speaking and writing specialists, Full and Mini TOEFL iBT Practice Tests scored by qualified TOEFL specialists (including speaking and writing feedback), rich interactive videos in reading, listening, speaking, and writing, including additional vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar skill areas.

Hi Michael,

I receieved my scores at TOEFL. My overall score is 106/120. The break up is as follows:

Reading: 26/30

Listening: 26/30

Speaking: 26/30

Writing : 28/30
.
I would like to thank you again for your efforts in building my confidence and bridging gaps in my writing style in relation to TOEFL writing Your efforts have also been reflected in all the other sections since without confidence in essay writing, I would not have been able to perform as well in the other sections.

Thanks again.

hi michael.

Thank you for the videos you’ve posted here…It really helped me a lot. Both your tips and Jason’s were the ones I used to pass the toefl ibt. I got 26 in the speaking which I really needed to get a visa screen and be able to practice my profession in the US. Thanks a lot..This is really highly recommended.

Dear Mike,

I have taken many private TOEFL courses in my home country but none of them have helped me to improve my writing score. I was scoring between 18-21 points and did not know what to do to improve that. However, after one month with your TOEFL writing lessons, I have maintained a score of 24 points due to a profound course material and personal commitment. If I had known you before, I would have saved time and money. God bless you.

Warm regards,

Jasem Akhand Kuwait City

Dear Michael:

This is Catherine. Last month, I took the TOEFL test and today I got my grade which is 82. This is not high score, but I am very happy that my composition score is 28 points. This is the highest score that I have. If the international students can continue to study and do practice on the composition, they can get satisfied scores. Therefore, I appreciate very much for your help to correct my grammar problems and give me references when first coming here to study, and taught me how to write a good essay. ^__^

Respectfully,

Catherine Rau

Hi Michael, I’m from Oman (you’ve probably heard of it!). This is just a quick note to thank you for all your tips in your website and in your youtube videos . They have been very helpful in passing the Toefl iBt! I scored 99.

Your videos are really very helpful Michael ! I would be taking the TOEFL test in a short time from now. Just thought I’ll go through your videos again before leaving for the test center.

Cheers !

Hello. Are you new to the field of TESL, or are you looking to see what other TESL professionals are doing to enhance their professional development both as a teacher and as a researcher? If yes, you have come to the right place. Consider the criteria that can be used in the evaluation of TESL educators in an Intensive English Program:

1. Student evaluations:

How do you rank among your students?

2. Administrative evaluations:

Does the administration see you as a valued commodity in the IEP program?

3. Teaching portfolio:

Have you written a teaching portfolio so your superiors can accurately make course assignments?

Also, by using your portfolio, can the evaluation committee verify that your teaching philosophies are in line with departmental expectations?

4. Curriculum Vitae:

Do you have a teaching résumé that provides an overview of your teaching experience and educational background?

This Web Page will give you access to a conglomeration of TESL and university projects that I have completed. I hope this information can help you to work toward teaching excellence as well as maintaining a healthy, positive working relationship with your colleagues and administrators.
