I was quite confident with my English skills and thought I can take on
TOEFL on my own. I practiced for awhile but soon realized that if I
was to get a good score, I will need help to get my grammar,
vocabulary and writing skills to that "it comes to me automatically"
level, so that no time is wasted on hesitating. This is what Gain
Access really helped me achieve.
Right from the initial consultation I knew I had come to the right
place; the teacher listened to me and then tailored a course precisely
to my needs (and schedule!).
I really appreciated the teacher’s attitude and patience as she helped
me go through the priorities of English grammar and vocabulary. She
really helped me build confidence by making me go through an
impressive variety of practice material.
Another thing that helped a lot was the practical approach of my
teacher - after repeating the different parts of the theory (some old
and some new), we focused on drilling and reviewing each question type
from past TOEFL papers, including timed tests, and then analysing my
choices and learning from my mistakes (and correct answers!).
But what I found most valuable was the teacher's strategic and
practical advise on how to take on the test and its time-pressure.
Overall, the TOEFL course exceeded my expectations and the
professional attitude, reliability and flexibility of the teacher made
the lessons fun and stress-free - I have to say that I actually looked
forward to them!
In addition, the benefits of the course didn't end with scoring well
and getting into the school of my choice. As a result of it, I now
write and communicate in English with great ease, which is turning to
be an advantage in my professional life. It was a smart investment
that I profit from every day!
