Innovative, creative and successful private and semi-private tutoring for the TOEFL
Score At The Top provides students with the most innovative, creative, and successful private and semi-private tutoring for the TOEFL. Our cutting-edge TOEFL strategies achieve results that speak for themselves. There is no one better than Score At The Top for preparing students for the TOEFL and other standardized tests! Our curriculum was designed by Score At The Top founder, Judi Robinovitz, who spent 23 years working for Educational Testing Service, the creator of the TOEFL.

If you want the most efficient and effective TOEFL prep for your child, then our private and semi-private TOEFL tutoring program is the right choice!
Our TOEFL tutoring sessions are designed to make test-takers more comfortable with the test-taking experience, increase their scores and self-confidence, and teach skills that are as important in school and life as they are on the TOEFL. Our interactive sessions focus on test familiarity, content, and the test-taking strategies students will need to score at the top of their potential on the TOEFL. We move along at a comfortable but lively pace with significant opportunity for questions and answers. We begin with an overview of the TOEFL and proceed to introduce the most effective strategies for each of the test’s question types. As each question type is examined, students use their newfound strategies to solve and then discuss actual TOEFL questions. Students do homework in preparation for each session; that homework typically consists of a full-length actual TOEFL or selected test sections, vocabulary-building, and/or outside reading. With confidence-building incorporated into every session, Score At The Top students truly become TOEFL test smart!
Because we firmly believe in collaboration and close contact with parents, our tutors email them a session summary report after every TOEFL tutoring session.
Matching your learning style and personality to a great tutor is our top priority. Our tutors take standardized tests every year and score in the top 5% – so they truly understand the test-taking process!
Some students like to prepare for the TOEFL with a compatible student whose needs are similar. In addition to creating “friendly competition” with a peer, semi-private students receive virtually the same individualized attention as private students, but at a reduced cost. Sign up for TOEFL prep with a friend or let us match you to a great partner.
The TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is the most widely accepted English-language test in the world. No matter where you want to study, the TOEFL can help get you there. It is used by colleges, government agencies, and international organizations to evaluate the English language skills of non-native speakers.
The TOEFL is not for beginner ESL students; rather, it is designed for students who are ready to prove that they have the ability to live and study in an English-speaking environment. The competitiveness of college admissions dictates a good TOEFL score to even be considered by most universities. Score At The Top’s TOEFL preparation program is designed to help you get the score you need.
The TOEFL covers these four English-language areas:
Although there are three versions of the TOEFL, the majority of test centers use the Internet Based TOEFL (iBT).
The TOEFL iBT is administered via computer from a secure Internet-based testing network:
For comparison, all three TOEFL formats are presented below:
Internet Based (iBT) | Computer Based | Paper Based |
---|---|---|
Reading 60-100 minutes
|
Adaptive Listening 60 minutes
|
Listening Comprehension 30 minutes
|
Listening 60-90 minutes
|
Adaptive Structure 15-20 minutes
|
Structure & Written Expression 25 minutes
|
Speaking 20 minutes
|
Reading Comprehension 70-90 minutes
|
Reading Comprehension 55 minutes
|
Writing 50 minutes
|
Writing 30 minutes

Because the TOEFL iBT is significantly different than the previous versions of the test, the score scale is also different. Here is the scoring range for the 4 skill areas and the total:
TOEFL scores are posted online, usually within 2 weeks after the test date. They are also mailed to test-takers and the universities or institutions they selected.
YES! Your child needs to take the TOEFL seriously as colleges consider it to be an important factor in determining the admissibility of students for whom English is a second language. A good TOEFL score can provide more valuable information to college admissions officers than SAT or ACT reading and writing scores. Although the TOEFL score doesn’t replace an SAT or ACT score, a good score will show a college that a non-native English speaker has the ability to do well in an American college.
Just because a student can read, write, and speak English enough to get along in an American high school doesn’t mean he or she is automatically prepared for the TOEFL. While it is an easier test than the SAT or ACT, students still need to prepare for it.
