Need a TOEFL score that opens doors — fast? I coach the two sections most people can't fix on their own: Speaking and Writing. Reading and Listening you can drill with an app. Speaking and Writing need a trained ear and a sharp editor, in real time. That's what I do. I'm a Duke graduate, native speaker, TEFL-certified, with years of teaching experience across very different audiences. I know the 2026 TOEFL format cold: the Academic Discussion writing task, the fast-paced speaking responses where timing and clarity decide your score, and exactly where most test-takers lose points they shouldn't. My approach is simple: we find the specific things costing you points, build repeatable templates for each task type, and drill them until you're fluent under the clock. I've coached language learners through high-stakes communication, and I bring patience and real energy to every session, but the focus is always the same: the score you need, by the date you need it. If your speaking feels rushed or your writing reads "translated," that's fixable, and faster than you think. Book a free intro call and tell me your target.
