Native English Speaker Offering Tutoring for the TOEFL

Do you need to take the TOEFL but have no idea where to start? Or maybe you have begun studying but can’t seem to improve your score and feel totally overwhelmed?

Then I’m here to help.

My name is Chad Smith and in addition to having taught English in Germany to hundreds of people over the last 11 years, I also specialize in preparing students for the TOEFL.

As someone with a bachelor’s degree in political science and a master’s degree in journalism—both from American universities—I understand how standardized tests like the TOEFL work. If you train with me you will get a teacher who

⟡knows many test-taking strategies that will give you an advantage
⟡can give you expert-level writing advice
⟡has a proven track record of helping students get high TOEFL scores
⟡has unique ways of helping you learn TOEFL vocabulary

Does all of the above sound good? Well, then, what are you waiting for? Let’s start training together and moving you closer to achieving your goals.

P.S. I can also help prepare you for the Cambridge English: First exam, also known as the B2 First.

RECOMMENDATIONS

"I prepared for my semester abroad with Chad. He helped me prepare for the TOEFL test and encouraged me that with a little practice, I would do well. The lessons allowed me to better understand the structures of the individual areas and work optimally on my weaknesses in those areas. With his help, I passed the test."

"I really recommend private tutoring with Chad. The lessons he gives are rich in variety and adapted to the level and target of the student. Each lesson brings you a step forward."

—Marina Sossidi-Petersen, Hamburg

“Chad did a fantastic job! He is not only competent, creative and solution-oriented, but he is also a really likable guy. I also find it remarkable that he was available and gave the maximum amount of assistance—all on short notice.

—Frank Platzek, Gelsenkirchen

***

“Chad is the best teacher I've ever had. Classes with Chad are a good mix of small talk, grammar rules and pronunciation practice. Moreover, you can talk to Chad about any topic. When you speak, he makes notes of your mistakes and then corrects you. I made tremendous progress in two years of tutoring.

—Katharina Indinger, City Nord, Hamburg

***

I can only recommend the lessons with Chad, even for someone who already has an advanced language level. Chad was always very well prepared and made the lessons very exciting. You can also set your own focus for learning. But you’ll notice that Chad himself very quickly finds the right adjustments to raise your ability in English to the next level.
