    Ben speaks remarkably clear and refined English, making him very easy to follow. He has a wonderful personality, he is incredibly kind, patient, and truly cares about his students’ progress. He also speaks fluent natural Japanese with a beautiful very clear accent. With his deep understanding of Japanese culture, he intuitively understands where Japanese learners might struggle and makes it easy to ask any questions in Japanese whenever needed. He has my highest recommendation!

    James is an excellent teacher and a wonderful person. During our first lesson, he asked about my goals and suggested a plan. In our lessons, we work a lot on preparing for business interviews and learning how to talk about my work experience and projects. One of my main problems is nervousness. It is very difficult for me to answer unexpected questions. I start mixing up tenses and using the same words again and again. James helps me deal with my nervousness in a calm and friendly way. He also helps me sound more confident in English. It was especially important for me that he corrected my mistakes and pronunciation instead of only saying, “You’re doing great.” This really helps me improve and grow. I also really like the friendly and comfortable atmosphere during the lessons. We can laugh about some things, and this helps me stay involved and enjoy the learning process.

    Adam is turning into my English coach more than my English teacher. His new method aims to teach you a new way of learning a language. The ultimate goal of his classes is for you to become an independent student. He wants you to learn how to learn by yourself. The key point is to understand how the process of learning a language works and take advantage of it. Not only do his classes have plenty of content, but he also shows you a refreshing way of making notes, reviewing them, and making connections to transform all your passive English into active English. I've started using power tools like Anki, Obsidian, Youglish, Readlang and English-Corpora, a whole set of resources to take my English to the next level.

    My 8-year-old daughter Anna had her first introductory lesson with Tom, and it was brilliant. Tom was very patient, friendly and funny, which helped Anna feel comfortable right away. The lesson was engaging, and the material was well structured and perfectly suited to her level. I was also particularly impressed by Tom’s pronunciation. In my opinion, he has a very clear and easy-to-understand pronunciation, which is especially valuable for children who are learning English.

    I have been taking weekly classes with Ariadne for more than a year now, sometimes choosing Structured Speaking Practice and sometimes Free Conversation, and I always really enjoy our lessons. She creates such a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, while at the same time giving really helpful corrections and suggestions. I especially appreciate the detailed written feedback after each lesson, which is extremely useful. Our Free Conversation lessons always feel very natural, and we discuss a wide range of interesting and varied topics. This has not only helped me expand my vocabulary, but also improved my fluency and, most importantly, my confidence when speaking English. The Structured Speaking Practice lessons are just as enjoyable and effective. Each session is thoughtfully structured—balancing speaking, listening, reading, and vocabulary practice in a perfect way. Ariadne is professional, punctual, always well-prepared, and I can recommend her without any hesitation.

    Smith老师是一位很好的老师,在跟着老师学习之前,我英语基础很差,很难开口说完整句子,目前距离第一次试课不到20天,上了5次课,加上日常练习和完成作业,已经可以针对一个话题说2-3分钟的口语(其实五分钟以上也可以)。Smith老师的一些学习方法也给了我一些深入学习英语的启发 非常非常幸运能遇到Smith老师 I initially came to italki because I felt completely stuck when trying to speak English out, and practicing on my own just wasn't working. Mrs. Smith is incredibly patient. She customizes the lessons based on my specific needs and speaks at a perfect pace. Whenever I don't understand something, she always finds a different way to explain it until I get it. She also makes sure to send me the lesson documents after class. After less than 20 days of learning with her, combined with my own practice, I can now speak continuously for 2-3 minutes on a given topic. She also taught me some highly effective learning methods, like how to internalize new language chunks into my own expressions. I am so grateful for Mrs. Smith's help. Thanks to her, learning English has actually become one of my hobbies now.

    I started having lessons with Abby before I began working in the U.S., and they've been super helpful. After talking about my goals and situation, she prepared customized lesson materials for me. We did about fifteen lessons using them and the they were exactly what I needed. She provided lesson notes in Google Docs so that I can review them later. I'd recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their English, especially those who have specific needs or goals. I'm looking forward to our future lessons. Thanks Abby!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the TOEIC exam, and what does it measure?

The TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) is a standardized test designed to assess the English language proficiency of non-native English speakers, especially in a professional or workplace context. The TOEIC exam measures a test taker’s ability to understand and use English in a business or work-related environment. It assesses listening and reading skills, which are critical for effective communication in international business settings.
TOEIC scores are not typically used for immigration purposes. These scores are primarily used for employment and educational purposes.

How is the TOEIC exam structured?

The TOEIC exam consists of two main sections: Listening Comprehension and Reading Comprehension. Each section is further divided into parts, and the total test duration is approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes. The Listening Comprehension section includes tasks related to conversations, talks, discussions, and conversations with a question-and-answer format. Test takers listen to audio recordings and respond to questions assessing their understanding of spoken English.
The Reading Comprehension section involves reading various texts, such as articles, advertisements, and workplace-related documents. Test takers answer questions that assess their understanding of written English.

How is the TOEIC exam scored?

The TOEIC exam is scored on a scale of 10 to 990 points. Each section (Listening and Reading) is scored separately, and the total score is the sum of the two section scores. The score report also provides a separate indication of performance in each section. The TOEIC exam does not have a passing or failing score. The score assesses proficiency levels, and institutions or employers set their own score requirements. The good scores on the TOEIC exam vary depending on the context and purpose. Generally, a score above 700 is considered proficient, while scores above 900 indicate advanced proficiency.
TOEIC scores are typically valid for two years from the test date. After this period, the scores expire. There is no limit to how many times you can take the TOEIC exam. However, checking with test centers for availability and scheduling details is advisable so you don’t miss out on a chance.

Are there any specific strategies to excel in the TOEIC exam?

Successfully navigating the TOEIC exam requires a combination of language skills and effective test-taking strategies. Before listening to the audio, quickly read through the questions. This helps you focus on specific information while listening. Utilize the provided scratch paper to jot down key points, numbers, and keywords during the listening passages. This can assist in answering questions accurately. Train yourself to listen actively. Focus on the main ideas, details, and speaker attitudes. Regular listening practice in English can enhance your comprehension skills. Pay attention to how words are pronounced and the intonation used by speakers. This can provide additional clues about the meaning or emphasis of a sentence.
Quickly skim through the text to understand the main topic, headings, and structure before delving into the questions. Identify and underline keywords in the questions. Look for these keywords in the text to locate the relevant information. Read the passages carefully. Note how the information is organized and know the relationships between sentences. Allocate a specific amount of time to each set of questions. Avoid spending too much time on a single question, as this could impact your ability to complete the entire section.
Work on expanding your vocabulary to express ideas more precisely during the speaking tasks. Take a few seconds to organize your thoughts before responding to a question. This helps in delivering a coherent and well-structured answer.

How can I prepare for the TOEIC exam?

Various preparation materials include official TOEIC preparation books, practice tests, and online resources. Some test takers also choose to enroll in TOEIC preparation courses. TOEIC preparation courses provide a detailed understanding of the test format, structure, and types of questions that will be encountered in each section of the exam. This familiarity helps reduce anxiety and boosts confidence.
Qualified instructors in TOEIC preparation courses provide expert guidance on language proficiency, test-taking strategies, and best practices. They offer valuable insights into what examiners look for in responses.
