About

I took four Speaking and Writing lessons. After three lessons in three days I took the test and got 100 (30 30 18 22). After the last lesson and his feedback, I got 112 on a test two weeks later (29 29 27 27). I never imagined Speaking and Writing could come out this high, and I'm really moved. I'm finishing well above my 108 target! With the TOEFL, Speaking and Writing are especially hard to find a direction for, because you can't tell whether you're doing well. By explaining the scoring criteria clearly, he showed me how I should practice. Of course taking the lessons doesn't mean you can apply it right away. But if you do one set a day and get feedback, you will see a visible change. Honestly the feedback was sharp and cold, so it was tough at times, but I took it as what I needed and studied stubbornly for two weeks. Looking at the result, it really was what I needed. He also gave me lots of material to practice on my own! It would be even better if there were model answers for Speaking and Writing.

Total time: one month Final score: 88 I needed about 85 in just over a month, so I asked for lessons in a hurry. I had studied on my own with online lectures for a week, but without a solid base it's hard to get a score fast that way, and it would have been impossible without his help. As a Korean whose only experience was the TOEIC, the TOEFL felt overwhelming, and I had no idea where to start with Speaking and Writing. He listened to my situation, told me what to do and pointed out where the points come from. He has analyzed ETS's scoring criteria systematically and shows you how to earn a score. Above all, the worry that I couldn't do it was one of the hardest parts, and he kept encouraging me and gave me a realistic strategy, which is how I got the result I wanted! We had seven lessons in total, online, at times we agreed on. If you're in a hurry or want a high score, I strongly recommend him!! ^^

I tried big academies and everything else to raise my TOEFL score, and this course was the most effective. At first he said six lessons would be enough, and I worried I'd be wasting money, but after finishing I didn't feel that at all. He teaches every section systematically by scoring criteria and question type, and explains why you should do things a certain way so that anyone is convinced. At other academies you usually solve questions first and then learn the solutions one by one, which takes a lot of time, but here he tells you exactly what to do, like a manual, so it was very efficient. I had taken the test about eight times with no luck before I tried these lessons, and my score went up a lot. So happy!

It was my first TOEFL. I studied Reading and Listening on my own and took Writing lessons! It felt overwhelming and I couldn't bring myself to start alone, so I liked that he packs everything into three or four lessons. Very systematic! The content is really systematic too! I recommend him if you want to focus and get a score in a short time :) I'd have been in big trouble on my own.. haha. Every week I sent him my writing for corrections and asked about anything I didn't get in Reading and Listening, and he answered every single question even though it might have been a bother. Thank you so much! It was my first time and I felt a lot of pressure, but I think I got a good result because he was there. Also, whenever I asked about tricky parts of other sections during Writing, he cleared up all the key points. I really recommend him! Thank you! Be happy

He teaches really well. I was going for a very high TOEFL score, and he digs into every single scoring criterion and shows you how to earn the points. He has a huge amount of material, and when he spots a weak point he explains it in detail and in a way that is easy to follow. It has been a long time since a teacher's skill impressed me this much.

I was studying for the TOEFL on my own and couldn't get the score I wanted, so I decided to get a tutor and took his lessons. Out of many teachers, his own curriculum looked systematic and appealing, so I chose him. For Reading and Listening, he explained how to approach each question step by step, and I kept practicing by applying exactly that method until I got the score I wanted. Of course, if you just trust his method and don't practice diligently, your score won't go up... you're the one taking the test after all T.T What's clear is that, compared with academies or online lectures, you can really communicate one to one (though his replies sometimes took a day or two), and it is clearly tailored to the test. Finally, I want to say thank you. Great work! :)

I think he's the best for getting started with the TOEFL. I recommend his tutoring over an academy! Everything was good, but the Writing lessons helped me the most. I also liked that he explained the scoring method in detail so I could go in the direction ETS asks for.

I never regret starting the TOEFL with him! From a systematic teaching style matched to the student's level to efficient methods for a high score, he helped me a lot! Honestly it's hard to find a downside, and I'd really recommend him to others.

After the Reading and Listening lessons I'm going on to Speaking and Writing~~ He explains the key points so precisely that everything falls into a structure, and I found myself solving questions with more confidence~ I'm trusting him with Speaking and Writing too~~

I had one Writing lesson before the test. He organizes everything thoroughly. His consultations are quick and clear too. It helped a lot. Thank you 😊

The lesson quality is very high; the rest is up to the student. See you again, thank you.

He explains things kindly and well!

I took six lessons over just one month and went straight into the TOEFL! I had taken it about ten years ago but had forgotten almost everything, so it was like starting over. I aimed for 100 and originally only wanted W/S lessons, but after one lesson he taught so well that I added R/L too. In the end I got high scores even in R and L, which had been shaky. He explains clearly and systematically how to approach each question type in every section, and for me the Speaking lessons were especially good! He pinpointed correct pronunciation and intonation and told me exactly what my problems were, so I could work on them. It isn't cheap, but with unlimited corrections right up to the test and the past questions he gave me, it was not a waste at all, and he teaches so well that two hours always flew by! I didn't know I could raise my score in such a short time. Thank you!!

I needed at least 26 in Speaking for grad school applications, so I looked for a tutor in a hurry! Short on time, we had only three lessons, but in that time he explained how TOEFL scoring works and how to get a high score, and helped me practice Speaking questions 1 2 3 4 by those points, so I got a high 29 on the test! He was very kind and taught me whatever I didn't know, so I could trust him and follow along! I've had other tutors, but I think I got a high score so quickly because a teacher who knows TOEFL scoring well helped me aim for a high Speaking score 😊 Now I can apply to grad school without worrying about the TOEFL! Thank you

He taught test prep so well that my score went up fast!! If you're preparing for the TOEFL, I really recommend learning from him! 6 lessons, up 7 points (94→101)

I took focused Speaking and Writing lessons. I'd prepared for the TOEFL at various academies but my Speaking and Writing scores were really low. After just four lessons with him I had a clear direction, and on the test I just did what I'd learned, so the words came easily and I wrote well 😀 After every lesson I could really feel my skills improving like magic, and on the test I wasn't nervous at all and did everything exactly as I'd learned! Thank you! He teaches really well!

Thank you! Thanks to you I got my target score. Especially in the writing lectures, his precise and detailed analysis of the scoring criteria helped me a lot, since writing was my weak point.

My English isn't bad, but my TOEFL Speaking and Writing were weak, so I took lessons focused on those two. His lessons seem to get right to the heart of the TOEFL, and he provides a wide range of materials. Recommended!

If you want a quick score boost, please, please take his lessons. Sob. I reached my target in less than a month. I won't even mention the strengths other teachers have too, like kindness and corrections. Of course he's great at those. First, the quality of his materials is unreal. He teaches from materials so good you wonder if it's okay to pay this little. The materials alone would be worth taking the lessons. Second, after every lesson he sets out exactly what to do next, which is so good and easy for passive people like me who can't make plans... yeah, that's it... Wishing you success and happiness. Thank you 😭

My Writing and Speaking scores kept coming out low, so I took lessons only for those two sections. I didn't have time to study Reading and Listening, so those were a bit low, but for Writing and Speaking I just took the lessons and practiced a little, and my scores went up well. Strongly recommended if you want to raise your score fast.

I liked that he teaches by systematically explaining the TOEFL scoring criteria.

I took one Listening and one Reading lesson. It was my first online tutoring, and in about two hours he explained in detail what the TOEFL is like, what the questions are like, how to approach them to make solving easier, and what to focus on when reading and listening. A really full lesson. The curriculum was more systematic than I expected, so I trusted it and studied hard. I think it's good for people who already have an English base and can read, listen and understand reasonably well, when they need to raise their score strategically. It also suits people who are used to studying on their own. I was in the low 80s and wanted to pass 90, so I looked for a tutor. After two lessons and two tests over a month and a half, I passed 100! I got R 30/30 and L 25/30. I heard Speaking and Writing scores are easier to raise in the short term, so I might have scored at least a point higher if I'd taken those lessons too. Besides the lessons, all the materials he sent helped a lot. I used them to study well on my own! Also, it was my first time using Soomgo, so I asked if he could message me on KakaoTalk before I paid, and he gladly did. Thanks for that too haha

It was only a few lessons, but he taught with real diligence and passion. My child says it was easy to understand and learned a lot. Hope to see you again next time.
