Kathy, I need to thank you for all your online TOEFL guidance. I went into the TOEFL exam with about a week's worth of prep time due to time sensitive circumstances and your videos helped me so much. They allowed me to familiarize myself with the structure of the test and questions and really eased my mind. If I come across anyone who is studying for the exam, I'll definitely send them your way!
Thank you Kathy. I followed your template and my result was 23/30. 30/30. 30/30. 25/30. Reading listening speaking & writing respectively. By the way I am a Nigerian and not a native speaker.
Hello Kathy, I don't know how to thank you enough. I just saw my test scores, have scored a 30 in the speaking section. I was freaking out the previous day of the test. I was unable to speak properly in my mock. I started to search for speaking lessons on TH-cam and came across your channel. I went through all of the 4 speaking question videos and did exactly what you told to do. I did not do any other preparation for speaking. On the test day I could speak without any difficulty. But I never thought that I would score full marks in the speaking section! Thanks again Kathy!!!!!!!
I received my score, I got more than enough, 109! And the University just asked for 100, that's great. My lowest score was in speaking, but I just prepared watching your videos the week prior to the exam, so I believe that was great! Thanks a lot.
Hi, I chanced on your videos while preparing for TOEFL and watching you was my best decision during the preparation. I have received a perfect score in the speaking section and 115 overall. Your tips on analytical writing were very helpful as well. Thanks a ton Kathy and may God bless you. Keep up the tremendous work you are doing.
I think you should definitely time your responses because on TOEFL you have only 45 seconds and you were constantly speaking around 60-65 seconds. However, I admit that your answers are perfectly structured and full of details :)
Kathy, I started to prepare to TOEFL exam using your videos as learning material. Congrats for your amazing job!! I think the speaking section is the hardest for foreign, the time is too short to answer.
Hi Everyone, I recently gave my TOEFL on July 6th and scored a 99 with 26L, 25R, 25S, 23W. I want to thank you Kathy for your guidance and help on Speaking Section.
This video has really thought me well about the Speaking section. Thank you so much! And, can we take notes of what's in our mind during the 15 seconds? (Just like in the writing section)
Hey Kathy, thank you for those videos. They are simply great. By preparing for TOEFL with your videos I was able to receive a 112 overall. Could you do the same videos for writing also? I assume most people preparing for the test would really appreciate that!
Kathy, thank you for having discussed on it.well structured and mentioned the guidance TOEFL on line.i really considered on it.if i come everyone direct me the exam with about a week and the location.
Hi Kathy, I have one question. When you explained about "advantages and disadvantages" you said to choose 1 major idea of each. But the question asked in plural (ADVANTAGES and DISADVANTAGES). Don´t you know it means that they want more than 1 idea for each? Thank you for your videos.
"To" is not part of an infinitive here, it is the preposition "to". Think of gerunds as nouns. I am opposed to slavery = I am opposed to having slaves.
hi kathy. I'm about to take the TOEFL this coming Saturday. But I am not comfortable with my English speaking . I get space out and I need some help. hope to get an advice before I take my exam.
Hello! Can I add some fiction to the answer like the following example: Q: talk about an experience that you had recently ....... A:I wanna talk about an experience I had a few months ago while I was sleeping I dreamed that I was in my room, then a wormhole opened I dived deep into it, it took me to a parallel universe where I had the chance to Ironman the leader of the Avengers .....
Hi Kathy I'm really confused about the sentence If my friend were travelling..!! Or if my friend was travelling....which is better to do? Thanks in advance
Hello! There's a very worrying question for me "Describe an annual day in your country were people give each other gifts" What if i don't have such a day? :P Can i say something like Christmas?? is it considered an (annual day) ..Please answer me :( Can i name an annual day for a country different than mine?
Yes,it has changed. For example, one of the speaker agrees with the idea suggested in the announcement, but at the same time he doesn't like the way this change will be done. He has mixed emotions, positive and negative feelings about the change. So, it is not a simple agrees or disagrees anymore. We have to talk about the two kind of feelings this person has about the change.
OMG i was paying attention until minute 2 then my mind was distracted Now i am back at minute 6.13 FUCK :(( I am not ready for TOELF definitely have to work on my listening skills :(
That is true mathematically. But that is not how the TOEFL works. They take an average of your six responses and they have special conversion charts they use to take your raw score and convert it into thirty. Also, I am not American. I am Canadian. But thanks for your feedback !

Kathy, thanks to this instructional video, I was able to pass my TOEFL speaking requirement by achieving 27. My overall score is 111.

Thanks Kathy, your strategies are great. Getting a 30 in speaking and 112 overall was a surprise. Wouldn't have been possible without these videos 😊
For how long did you study?
@@shiromix01 About 10 days. Practiced the free ETS questions while noting down and improving upon previous mistakes :)
I think you should definitely time your responses because on TOEFL you have only 45 seconds and you were constantly speaking around 60-65 seconds.

I time them in my other videos

Hi Kathy Thanx to your videos I scored a 94 overall.. :)

best toefl speaking video!!
Thank you Kathy. Your help was key to me !!!
I really appreciate your content..it was superb...
OMG I can't speak that fast! I feel like I don't finish my ideas correctly in just 45 seconds
Hi Kathy! I'm studying for the toefl test, but I just realized of these changes. Where could I found examples of the new prompts?
Hi Kathy, I have one question. When you explained about "advantages and disadvantages" you said to choose 1 major idea of each. But the question asked in plural (ADVANTAGES and DISADVANTAGES). Don´t you know it means that they want more than 1 idea for each? Thank you for your videos.
Kathy, you're the best!
Very interesting. Thank you so much Katy!!!
Hello Kathy!
My level is C1. I didn't practice much am I gonna score above 26?
I got 105, thanks to you! Thank you
Waow!
thank you kathy this has really helped me alot
Hey, any tip regarding the final question of each toefl Reading passag? The question that usually is worth 3 points. Is there any trick for doing 3/3?
Question: why do you use an infinitive with a gerund (to having)? : "There are both advantages and disadvantages to having"
I was asking the same.. I thought it was correct to say wheter "to have..." or "in having..."
"To" is not part of an infinitive here, it is the preposition "to". Think of gerunds as nouns.
I am opposed to slavery = I am opposed to having slaves.
@@JP-zs9cm Thank you!
Thank you Kathy! Loved it)!
Thanks for your videos... got 106 overall... :)
hi kathy. I'm about to take the TOEFL this coming Saturday. But I am not comfortable with my English speaking . I get space out and I need some help. hope to get an advice before I take my exam.

Great Video Kathy!
Hello teacher Kathy. How can I take some classes with you?
kathy you are wonderful
Hello!
Can I add some fiction to the answer like the following example:
Q: talk about an experience that you had recently .......
A:I wanna talk about an experience I had a few months ago while I was sleeping I dreamed that I was in my room, then a wormhole opened I dived deep into it, it took me to a parallel universe where I had the chance to Ironman the leader of the Avengers .....
Awesome thanks for the tips!
Hi Kathy
I'm really confused about the sentence
If my friend were travelling..!! Or if my friend was travelling....which is better to do?
Thanks in advance
same here i have noticed some grammatical uses that i have never used before,like this one u mentioned and also *to having*
it is conditional, it is like if I were you... If my friend were traveling - correct, was traveling-incorrect
Hello! There's a very worrying question for me "Describe an annual day in your country were people give each other gifts" What if i don't have such a day? :P Can i say something like Christmas?? is it considered an (annual day) ..Please answer me :( Can i name an annual day for a country different than mine?
Sara Afyouni
Yes u can tell them a fake festival.They just want to know how do u speak correctly by using English.
Maybe you could make videos about the essays, the two of them...
anyways, these videos of speaking are already helpful, thank you ;)
Gabi ;; i already did that
Thank you Katy
Questions 3 to 6 changed?
1 question I have .. you mentioned here on advice q with continues verb. Why we use if my friend "were" traveling to ??
Iulian Zaza
I was
We were - plural 👍🏼
She uses were because is IF. If she were.
Could you explain this rule please?
Thank you very much!!!
im wondering whats gonna happen if you freestyle rap in the speaking section?
they will give 30 grades if you rap like Eminem
am I allowed to spit out any cuss words during the speaking section? just curious lol
No
at 12:10 I don't understand what you said as example answer. Especially first 5 words.
What fear i have overcome is
💓💓💓
thank you so much kathy, please I need your advice about how to answer question 3 since the format has been changed lately.
really? can you give us an example of Q3, please?
Yes,it has changed. For example, one of the speaker agrees with the idea suggested in the announcement, but at the same time he doesn't like the way this change will be done. He has mixed emotions, positive and negative feelings about the change. So, it is not a simple agrees or disagrees anymore. We have to talk about the two kind of feelings this person has about the change.
what else has changed yet? writing, reading, listening?
really? that's even harder to achieve 26, Toefl is getting more difficult, im gonna try ielts next time maybe
Thanks a bunch💙
Hi can anyone tell me if I'm obliged to give exemples please! Can I just give details and explain my choices without giving good exemples?
NeKsTeR ??? Honestly you dont have that much time so you cant do everything
okay thank you
Like you wearing glasses and thankyou
Hello Kathy, there is change that I could reach you through email? Thank you
Yes houseoftoefl@gmail.com
I tried to learn a few words from(smartvocab.in) youtube videos and news articles and surprisingly the words repeated in next day videos...
OMG i was paying attention until minute 2 then my mind was distracted Now i am back at minute 6.13 FUCK :(( I am not ready for TOELF definitely have to work on my listening skills :(
thank you so fucking much 100/120
She's cute
Americans are so strange! Four multiple by six is equal to 24, but not 30....sorry
That is true mathematically. But that is not how the TOEFL works. They take an average of your six responses and they have special conversion charts they use to take your raw score and convert it into thirty. Also, I am not American. I am Canadian. But thanks for your feedback !
Nothing new
I would really love to see your hot red garment unbuttoned
