Frequently Asked Questions

TOEFL preparation typically covers all four tested sections: Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing. Tutors work with students to build English proficiency across academic contexts, focusing on test-specific strategies alongside language skills. This includes time management techniques, familiarization with the computer-based test format, and practice with authentic TOEFL questions.

In a classroom setting, instruction moves at a fixed pace regardless of individual needs. With personalized tutoring, a tutor can identify your specific weak areas—whether that's understanding academic lectures, writing essays under time pressure, or speaking fluently—and focus instruction there. This targeted approach typically accelerates improvement and helps you maximize your score based on your starting point.

TOEFL preparation timelines vary significantly based on your current English proficiency level. Some students preparing for business school or graduate programs may need 3-6 months of consistent preparation, while others benefit from intensive 8-12 week programs. A tutor can assess your baseline skills and help create a customized timeline based on your target score and application deadlines.

The TOEFL iBT (Internet-Based Test) is specifically designed to measure academic English proficiency for non-native English speakers applying to universities and graduate programs. Unlike general English proficiency tests, TOEFL focuses on your ability to understand and use English in academic settings—listening to lectures, reading textbooks, participating in discussions, and writing research papers. Most U.S. universities require TOEFL scores from international applicants.

The Speaking section challenges many test-takers because it requires clear pronunciation, natural delivery, and organized responses under time pressure. Personalized instruction helps through targeted practice: responding to prompts within time limits, receiving detailed feedback on clarity and coherence, and building confidence speaking English about academic topics. Regular practice with a tutor helps you develop the fluency and spontaneity that scorers evaluate.

TOEFL score requirements vary by university and program, but most graduate programs require scores between 80-100 on the iBT scale (0-120). Some competitive programs may expect higher scores (100+), while others may have minimum requirements around 70-80. It's important to research the specific programs you're interested in and aim for their score range. A tutor can help you identify realistic target scores and develop a strategy to reach them.

Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have expertise in TOEFL preparation and understand your specific goals. Based on your current proficiency level and target score, you'll be matched with someone who has experience helping students in similar situations. You can discuss your learning style, schedule, and any particular sections you want to focus on to ensure a strong fit for personalized instruction.
