Toefl made easier

The discussion was on point and raises a lot of ideas which are very useful and handy when taking the exam. The presentation was plain, neat and direct, it was able to deliver maximum results within a manageable period of time. The instructors diagram of how you do the brainstorming and the outline makes writing your ideas a lot easier. I would recommend this to my colleagues who would want to take, not only TOEFL but also IELTS, because I know the techniques will also apply. Good job! Hope to hear more test preparation techniques from you Sir.

I took this course to understand the inner working of the writing section on the TOEFl, although I been talking and writing in english since I can remember, I didn't know anything about how to tackle the writing part of the exam. The material is great and the way Giles explain it is excellent; easy to follow, lots of examples along the way and good tone of voice makes this course a must have for everyone who needs to take the TOEFL. Thank you very much Giles for creating such a comprehensive course and give it away for free. Cheers Jonathan

I had been struggling with the independent writing, especially brainstorming, which kept stopping me from the better time management of writing. But thanks to the template that you showed in the lecture, I could brainstorm more effectively. But, still it takes me around 35 minutes to complete the essay writing, so I will exert myself more until the test day. Thank you for your help.
