Customized TOEFL Preparation
We can offer you a group TOEFL PREPARATION program or a custom program that specifically focuses on TOEFL PREPARATION, tailored to your level of proficiency, learning style, schedule and location. As part of the enrollment process, we will administer a placement test to determine your level of proficiency and a preferred senses questionnaire to determine what your optimum learning channels are, so that your program is designed accordingly. Based on test results, we will determine the amount of hours necessary for your test preparation. The custom program is available on an intensive schedule and on a regular schedule. The intensive schedule is measured in clock hours (60- minute hours) of 10 or 20 clock hours (CH) per a week. The regular schedule is measured in academic hours (45- minute hours) and consists of a minimum of four academic hours(AH) per week, which translates in two weekly classes of 1.5 CH each. If you desire to advance faster but cannot take the intensive schedule, you would choose more academic hours (AH) per week. Within the regular schedule, there are four different packages. Each package consists of academic hours of class, starting at 12 academic hours and increasing in multiples of 12. Once you purchase a package of academic hours, you decide what the best schedule to take your classes is.
Students who have taken the actual TOEFL test and their score is more than 30 points away from their target score usually need 96AH of test preparation class; those with a score of more than 20 points away from target score need 48AH of class; those with a score of more than 10 points away from target need 24AH of class; and those who score less than five points from target need 12AH. If you have not taken the actual test, but your language proficiency test indicates lack of academic/professional writing skills, listening-comprehension and vocabulary, you are a candidate for the 96AH block of classes. If the test shows that you have limited reading, writing and listening-comprehension skills but strong vocabulary skills, then 48AH should suffice. If test score indicates that you have above average overall skills, then you should take 24AH of class. If your skills are excellent but need to work on test taking techniques, then the 12AH bock of classes is for you.(See customized program price list attached).
Custom classes are also offered for two or more students, giving you and your friends the advantage of sharing the price. The higher the number of students in the custom class, the lower the price each participant pays. The key here is the similarity of proficiency level among the students. The regular schedule requires enrollment to be completed at least three business days prior to start day and the immersion programs require that enrollment be completed one week in advance.
