Frequently Asked Questions
The TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) measures English proficiency for non-native speakers applying to universities, graduate programs, or professional certifications. Many international students in Dallas and across Texas take the TOEFL to meet admission requirements for U.S. colleges and universities, or to demonstrate English competency for visa applications and employment purposes.
The TOEFL iBT (Internet-Based Test) evaluates four core skills: Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing. Each section tests your ability to understand and communicate in academic English, with scores ranging from 0-120 total. The test typically takes about 3 hours and is designed to reflect real-world university and professional communication.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to target your specific weak areas—whether that's understanding fast-paced lectures for the Listening section or organizing complex essays for Writing. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all curriculum, tutors adapt strategies to your learning style and pace, which research shows accelerates improvement in standardized test performance compared to group classes.
Many students struggle with the Listening section due to academic vocabulary and fast speech patterns, the Reading section's dense passages and time pressure, and the Speaking section's tight time limits for organizing thoughts. The Writing section challenges students who aren't used to structuring academic essays under timed conditions. A tutor can help you build strategies for each section and practice with authentic TOEFL materials.
Improvement depends on your starting point and study consistency, but many students see 10-20 point increases (on the 0-120 scale) within 4-8 weeks of focused preparation. Personalized tutoring helps you identify which sections offer the quickest gains and teaches test-specific strategies that maximize your strengths while addressing weak areas.
Look for tutors with strong English language teaching experience, familiarity with the TOEFL iBT format, and ideally a background in ESL (English as a Second Language) instruction. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who understand both the test structure and the language-learning challenges international students face, ensuring they can provide targeted, effective preparation.
Your first session typically includes a diagnostic assessment to identify your current proficiency level, specific section weaknesses, and learning goals. The tutor will discuss your target score, timeline, and preferred study approach, then create a personalized plan that focuses on high-impact improvements for your needs.
Most students benefit from 8-12 weeks of consistent preparation, though timelines vary based on starting level and target score. Intensive tutoring combined with independent practice can accelerate progress, while students with lower starting proficiency may benefit from longer preparation periods. Your tutor will help you set a realistic timeline based on your goals and current English level.
