Welcome to E4TG! For 99% of Japanese TOEFL takers, the Speaking Section is the most difficult part of the test. I'm Donald Miller, and I've taught TOEFL to thousands of Japanese people since 1996. Since 2007, I've run my own school near Tokyo Station, specializing in TOEFL Speaking.

There's no magic to getting a good TOEFL Speaking score.

  • You must speak pretty fluently (流れ).
  • You must speak clearly (pronunciation).
  • You must speak with reasonably correct grammar.
  • You must speak about appropriate content.

For students who take 4+ months of class

Does that sound easy? Well, learning a language is easier for children than it is for adults. And E4TG students are business people, lawyers, government workers, and other adults who want to study at graduate schools abroad. So "easy" is not the word I would choose. But it is certainly possible if you have the right coaching and put effort into your study. Many of my students have succeeded and you can Read their testimonies If one person can do it, anyone can do it.
