Award-Winning TOEFL Tutors in Christchurch

For those who need to take the TOEFL exam for the purposes of work, a visa, or to attend a school like the University of Canterbury, TOEFL tutoring in Christchurch can be a great option. Varsity Tutors can help you get started. The TOEFL is widely accepted as a measure of your English abilities, and a great TOEFL score can open doors to you, so solid test preparation is a good idea. A Christchurch TOEFL tutor can give you personalized feedback and direction, so you can build your confidence as the exam approaches.

The TOEFL exam consists of four sections: Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing. Reading and Writing will expect you to work with academic English texts at a university level, so the Reading section will ask you to show your ability to understand the organization, central themes, and contextual details of the passage, as well as to discern what further information is implicit in the passage. The Writing section will give you two writing tasks where you'll be expected to produce work of this sort yourself.

The Listening section will provide you with lectures, conversations, and other auditory material, which you'll have to listen to and then answer related questions. Similarly to the Reading section, you'll have to grasp the main points of these spoken passages, understand the attitudes of speakers, the organization of arguments, and so on.

The Speaking section tests your spoken English delivery. This section will examine your pronunciation, the naturalness and fluidity of your speech, the broadness of your vocabulary, and your overall ability to answer posed questions.

Mastering a language is difficult, and demonstrating your mastery under scrutiny can be nerve-wracking. But TOEFL tutoring in Christchurch can offer you a comprehensive review of the forms of English that the TOEFL will test you on, in a way that addresses your unique needs. Classroom review sessions require you to work at the pace of your classmates, but a Christchurch TOEFL tutor will be able to get an idea of what parts of your English need work, so you can focus your studies. You'll be able to quickly review areas of English usage that you have a handle on already, and spend the majority of your time ironing out any flaws in your problem areas. So if you've got great English reading comprehension and can write a stellar essay, for example, but you feel unprepared to respond to questions aloud, your Christchurch TOEFL tutor can put the focus on spoken English. This means that working with a private instructor can be both efficient and effective.

Your English mentor can take advantage of your learning preferences too. If you find visual aids an effective way to review vocabulary, say, a TOEFL tutor in Christchurch can put together sets of flashcards for you, or if you prefer auditory instruction they could record spoken vocabulary lists for you to listen to during the day. Your instructor can adjust their methods to fit what works for you.

We can find a Christchurch TOEFL tutor for you who can accommodate your schedule, even if you're busy and need to meet at unusual times. You'll meet with your instructor online via our video chat platform, so you can speak face-to-face, but without the need for a commute.
