The Highest Degrees

Require High iBTs

graduate programs demand the best

With more and more International students applying to graduate programs every year, the competition to be admitted is steadily increasing. This has allowed graduate programs to be more selective about who they accept. Don't let your TOEFL score hold you back from the career of your dreams. Make sure you study hard to get a high TOEFL score so that admissions offices will have no doubts that you will be able to participate fully in their graduate program. Strictly English has helped hundreds of students get scores well above the schools' minimum TOEFL requirements.

TOEFL vs. GRE/LSAT

There is no denying that TOEFL is an easier test than the GRE or the LSAT, so study it first. This will improve your English skills which will then help you to score higher on the other tests you need to take. Also, by preparing for the iBT's Speaking section you're also preparing for any admissions interviews you may have, in which you will want to prove that you can speak clearly and answer questions directly. Such abilities are precisely what we teach you in our TOEFL tutoring sessions.

Tutoring that fits into your busy life

People applying to graduate school are usually working a 40-hour-a-week job, or studying English full time, while also trying to study for the TOEFL and the GRE/LSAT as well as write their Resume, Statement of Purpose and Personal Statements! With so much to do, you need tutoring that's fast and effective.  will save you time so that you can dedicate your energy to these other tasks.

NOTE:

For graduate school, individual departments set the TOEFL requirement, not the university. Make sure you know the TOEFL requirement for the specific department you are applying to. If the department has more than one program, each program might also have its own TOEFL requirement
