Coming Soon: TOEFL Listening Self-Study Course
Want to score 100+ on the TOEFL?
Start by aiming for 27+ in Reading and Listening — the fastest and most reliable way to boost your total score, even if your Speaking and Writing are around 23.
Raising Speaking and Writing scores to 26+ often takes years, because it requires:
-
Strong delivery techniques (pronunciation, rhythm, intonation)
-
Solid grammar control
-
The ability to present ideas logically — a skill even most native speakers find challenging to master
In contrast, improving your Reading and Listening can take just months with the right strategies.
The key? Solving all the TPOs (TOEFL Practice Online), which are retired official ETS questions. Through consistent practice, you'll begin to see answer patterns emerge naturally.
Dr. Byrne’s TOEFL Reading and Listening courses teach you how to recognize these patterns — and how traps are designed to break them — so you can identify correct answers with confidence and precision.
The TOEFL Listening course includes 67 full sets of materials, carefully designed to match the difficulty and structure of official TPOs, giving you the most realistic practice possible.
Smart strategy. Faster results. Higher scores.
Stay tuned.
