Meet Saadah M, a former STEALTH student in Michael’s Online TOEFL Course: “The 7 Step System to Pass the TOEFL iBT.” Saadah is a non-native American who needed the required marks on the TOEFL to start a certificate program at her local university. However, Saadah was entangled in a difficult situation, Saadah had never taken the TOEFL before and her university required non-natives to score a minimal score of 80 on the TOEFL. Knowing only the basics about the TOEFL, Saadah apparently searched online for a TOEFL course which will improve her English proficiency and help her meet her goal of scoring a minimal score of 80 on the TOEFL; this was how she found Michael’s renowned, 7 Step System Pass the TOEFL iBT.
Saadah initial comments to Michael are as follows:
“Hello Mr. Buckhoff,
My name is Saadah M. and I reside in North Carolina. I am a non-native American and I intend to start a certificate program in October at my local university. Their required TOEFL score for non-natives is 80 at least. I have never taken a TOEFL, so I merely know the basics about TOEFL.
I plan to take the TOEFL iBT in the start of June, so that my scores are forwarded to the university before the deadline. So I seek your guidance in order to be well-prepared for the test and to achieve my goal on my first attempt.
Please guide me.
Regards,
Saadah M.”
