Jocelyn uses an Online TOEFL Course to improve her academic English proficiency.

Short of her goal by 12 points, Jocelyn was required by her University to score at least 80 points on the TOEFL to apply. Having studied her first TOEFL course in the Philippines, Jocelyn needed another solution to pass now that she lived in California. Thus Jocelyn made the decision to join Michael Buckhoff’s Online TOEFL Course for only $38 a month.

Needing to improve her score by at least 12 more points, Jocelyn was recommended to review Michael’s exclusive 90-Day TOEFL Study Guide.

Jocelyn’s introductory comments to Michael were as follows:

“Hello, Michael Buckhoff,

I would like to tell you my background of attempts to pass TOEFL. At the first time, I finish the TOEFL course in Philippines I got Reading: 16, Listening: 17, Speaking: 18, Writing: 17, total 68 points. I really sure that I was not reach my goal yet because I required to get at least 80 points to apply for University. If I could reach 80+ points, that would be best.

Best regards,

Jocelyn”
