Vilma takes an Online TOEFL Course to improve her academic English skills.

Raised in Rome, Vilma formerly joined Michael’s Online TOEFL Course: “The 7 Step System to Pass the TOEFL iBT,” in order to improve her English proficiency and to score higher on the TOEFL. Originally moving to the United States with plans to attend a reputable university, Vilma needed to score at least 88-90 points for one university and 80 points for another, in order to qualify for enrollment. Because of this, Vilma had been on standby for quite some time. Reason being, Vilma had only taken the TOEFL iBT once before and scored 67 with: R-17, L-16, S-20, and W-14. Being left in a situation where she needed to improve her English proficiency by at least 13 points in order to be accepted to one of her universities of choice, Vilma had made the decision to study off Michael’s renowned Online TOEFL Course.

Vilma’s original comments are as follows:

“Hello!
I’m Vilma from Rome and I am interested to taking your online toefl course. One university requires at least 88-90 points in my toefl score and another university requires 80 points. I followed a toefl course for 1 month in May, it’s was useful but I didn’t get a good score, I got a 67, probably because I studied just for 1 month. I know that I can do much better and I want to try taking the toefl again in the end of June, I can study 5-8 hour at day.
Can you help me?
Thank you

Vilma”
