Marco started Michael’s Online TOEFL Course: “The 7 Step System to Pass the TOEFL iBT,” on April 22, 2014. An Italian native, Marco mentioned to Michael how he felt confident in his reading, listening, and writing skills; yet he could not manage his time to answer his response in the speaking section.

Disappointed with his score, Marco reached out to Michael with a goal to strengthen his speaking skills and score +85 on the TOEFL iBT. Thus, Marco was suggested to review Michael’s vocabulary and speaking section during his one month subscription.

“Dear sir,
For the first attempt I have studied about 8 hours a day during 2 weeks, conversely for the second attempt I could not study at all because my job. The second attempt was on March 10th, and I scored 81 (Reading 22, Listening 20, Speaking 17, Writing 22). During the test, I felt confident in reading, listening, and writing, but I could not managed well my time to prepare my response in the speaking section. I need to prepare my speaking and honestly I’m not sure if I need to take a course from your website or if what I need is to practice more… I really would like to have +85 score in my next attempt in a month.
I hope that you can help me.
Best regards,
