Testimonials

Austria: 117 (R22, L26, S29, W27)

Nachdem ich angefangen hatte mit Strictly English zu arbeiten, wurde mir schnell klar, dass der TOEFL Test nach einem bestimmten Muster arbeitet. Selbst jemand der nicht begabt ist, kann sich mit Hilfe von einfachen Übungen bemerkenswert verbessern. Besonders beim schreiben hat mit Strictly English geholfen, indem sie mir einen einfachen Rahmen für Aufsätze bereitstellten, in den ich nur noch Wörter einfügen musste.

Die Arbeit mit Strictly English hat mir gezeigt dass der TOEFL Test mit einem durchschaubaren System arbeitet, das absolut jeder lernen kann.

Translation: After starting to work with Strictly English, I quickly realized that the TOEFL Test works with specific patterns. Even somebody who is not the most talented language learner can improve remarkably by doing simple exercises. Especially at writing, Strictly English helped me by providing a frame, in which I only needed to insert words.

Working with Strictly English has shown me that the TOEFL Test works with a transparent system that anyone can learn.

Portugal: 117 (R29, L28, S30, W30)

A forma como eles estruturam o curriculum faz com que cada parte contribua também para as outras, criando sinergias que melhoram a aprendizagem e os resultados do teste. Os tutores são extremamente profissionais e flexíveis na marcação das aulas. Recomendo sinceramente a Strictly English a todas as pessoas que queiram melhorar o seu Inglês.

Translation: I studied for the TOEFL with Strictly English. They have a deep understanding of the test. Their methodology is personalized and specific for each of the test sections. The curriculum is structured in a way that makes each section contribute the the others, creating unexpected synergies that improve your learning and your test performance. The tutors are extremelly professional and flexible in scheduling the classes. I sincerely recommend Strictly english to all that want to develop their English skills.

 

France: 108 (R 27, L 27, S 26, W 28)

Avant de prendre des cours sur Skype avec Strictly English, j'avais adopté en vain plusieurs méthodes (cours collectifs dans des centres de préparation, travail individuel avec des livres d'apprentissage par soi-même, tests blancs, etc.). Mais rien n'y avait fait : j'ai passé 4 fois le TOEFL en un an en ne décollant pas de plus de deux points (103, 105, 105 et 104). Pour pouvoir postuler à Harvard, je devais impérativement approcher 109. Puis j'ai découvert Strictly English et j'ai atteint mon objectif en moins de trois semaines. Pour ce niveau de précision, seuls les cours collectifs sont efficaces.

Ce sont, de très loin, les cours les plus sérieux que j'ai trouvé en France et à l'international. C'est une grande économie de temps (et donc d'argent) que de travailler d'emblée avec Strictly English. J'aurais aimé travailler avec eux dès le début plutôt que de perdre du temps ailleurs. Ne commettez pas mon erreur : commencez par Strictly English!

Translation: Before taking lessons with Strictly English on Skype, I had tried several methods in vain - collective courses in prep centers, working on my own on teach-yourself textbooks, mock tests, etc. But nothing was any good: I took the TOEFL four times in one year without improving my score enough (103, 105, 105 and 104). In order to be able to apply to Harvard, I imperatively needed to score around 109. Then I got to know Stricty English and I achieved my goal in less than three weeks. For this level of accuracy, only one-to-one courses work.

These courses are, by far, the most professional that I have found in France and abroad. Working head on with Strictly English means saving a great deal of time - and therefore of money. I wish I had done this first hand instead of loosing valuable time elsewhere. Don't do the same thing: start with Strictly English!

Ukraine: 105 (R 29, L 26, S 23, W 27)

I got 105 on the test. It is great! Thank you for all your help! I will definitely recommend your service to other people. Your guidance and methodology was very helpful. Not to mention your support and encouragement! If I will decide to go for a higher score, I will come back for more lessons. :)

Russia: 96 (R 26, L 23, S 22, W 25)

Бостонский университет (BU), в который я планировал поступить, требует 86 (25, 22, 23, 22) очков на IBT тесте. До того как я записался на курсы Striclty English, я ниразу не сдавал TOEFL тест. В общем, курс обучения длился 2 месяца, с октября до начала декабря. В начале ноября я сдал мой первый TOEFL тест и получил 76 (18, 22, 18, 18) очков. Исходя из этого, мы решили, что мне требуется больше работать над "писанием" и "разговором"; в ноябре месяце мы сконцентрировались именно на них. В декабре я снова сдал IBT тест и получил 96 (26, 23, 22, 25) очков. Мой результат просто поразил меня. За один месяц репетиторства со Strictly English, я набрал на 20 очков больше. В ходе обучения, мы выявили мои слабые места и усердно работали над их устранением. И как оказалось, основная проблема была вовсе не в граматике или понимании языка, а в структуре в которой я выдавал свой ответ и анализировании текста. Это доказывает насколько Strictly English гибок и в то же время эффективен в своих методах обучения. Николай Эверстов, Республика Саха (Якутия), Россия.

Translation: Boston university, in which I planned to apply, requires IBT score of 86 (25, 22, 23, 22). Before I took lessons with Strictly English, I'd never taken TOEFL test. Altogether, the curriculum lasted for 2 months, since October until the beginning of December. At the beginning of November, I took my first TOEFL test and got 76 (18, 22, 18, 18) points. On this basis, me and my Strictly English tutor decided to concentrate on Writing and Speaking sections. In December, I took IBT test again and got 96 (26, 23, 22, 25) points. After one month of tutoring with Strictly English, I've raised my score for 20 points. During the curriculum, we revealed my weaknesses and were trying to eliminate them. As it turned out, the main problem was not in grammar or understanding the language, but in the structure in which I gave the answer and in analyzing the text. It proves to what extent Strictly English is flexible and at the same time effective in its methods of education. Nikolay Everstov, Republic Sakha (Yakutia), Russia.

Netherlands: 113 (29, 29, 26, 29)

Voor mij het spreken gedeelte van de TOEFL toets was het meest uitdagende gedeelte en dankzij Strictly English heb ik mijn beoogde score van 26 kunnen halen bij dit onderdeel van de toets. De leraren zijn heel professioneel en ervaren en de strategieen zijn ook geweldig. Ik ben heel blij met de begeleiding en de tutoring en waardeer vooral de oefening en feedback die ik tijdens de lessen gekregen heb. Ten slotte wil ik Strictly English van harte bedanken voor hun begeleiding en steun.

France: 103 (R 23, L 29, S 27, W 24)

Je n'avais pas beaucoup de temps à ma disposition du fait que je préparais plusieurs examens importants en même temps, en dehors du TOEFL. Strictly English, ma vraiment prise en charge, l'enseignement est très structuré les professeurs sont à l'écoute et près à aider. Les résultats sont là. Je garderais un bon souvenir de cette expérience.

Translation:I didn't have much time for the TOEFL because I was preparing several exams at the same time. Strictly English has really taken me in charge, the teaching is very structered and the professors are ready to help. The results are there. I"ll keep a good souvenir from this experience.

Brazil: 117 (R 29, L 29, S 29, W 30)

Antes de fazer o curso de Strictly English, já havia realizado duas vezes o Toelf. A primeira vez 93 e na segunda 94, bem abaixo dos 100 pontos que necessitava. Comecei meu curso com SE no dia 29 de setembro e no dia 9 de outubro tirei 103 de score. O diferencial do SE é que eles dominam a metodologia do exame e te dizem exatamente como deves responder cada uma das questões. Na hora da prova eu estava muito relaxado e confiante. O resultado foi que em 10 dias eu consegui o score que estava buscando fazia 3 meses. Não acredito que haja outra opção melhor que SE, nem em qualidade nem em preço. Você não vai se arrepender! RFMM, Porto Alegre - Brazil. Outubro 2010.

Translation: Before I took the SE course, I had taken the Toefl twice. The first time I got a 93 and the second a 94, far below the 100 points I needed. I started my course with SE on september 29th and on octuber 9th, I scored 103. The big difference between SE and another courses is that they master the format and metodologhy of the exam, and they tell you exactly what you have to answer in which question. In the exam I was very relax and confident. As a result, in ten days I got the score I want and that I was pursuing for three months. I really believe that SE is the better choice both in quality and price. Once you`ve tried, you will never regret it! RFMM, Porto Alegre - Brazil. October, 2010

ストリクトリー・イングリッシュのおかげで,TOEFLの点数をぐぐっとあげることができました!!! この学校では,TOEFL/CBTに比べて格段難しくなったTOEFL/iBTのリーディングも,より早く的確に読解する方法,及び効率のよい解答方法を懇切丁寧に指導してくれます。一般のアメリカ人の先生では手の届かない部分まで論理的に解説してくれます。文法の得意な日本人にとって,この解説はとてもわかりやすいです。また,スピーキングでの短時間での発言内容の整理の仕方,適切な解答方法,ライティングでの文章全体の構成・展開指導と一言一句訂正を加えながらの綿密な指導,加えてリスニングに効果抜群の先生の早口な英語での授業のおかげで,私のiBTの点数は40点(CBTに換算すると80点)上がりました!!

河澄さつき

Translation: Strictly English really helped me raise my TOEFL score dramatically. Even though reading section for iBT becomes more difficult than CBT, Strictly English taught me how to answer the questions in a short period of time with a special method. Strictly English can explain answering the questions clearly and logically which other American teachers cannot. It is benefit for Japanese students because we are good at English grammar. Also, I learned how to prepare for the questions efficiently at speaking section in a limited of time. For writing section, Strictly English taught me how to write a great essay with editing every single word like articles, prepositions, transitions, subject verb agreements, and so on. Because every teacher spoke to me very fast, I was also able to improve my listening score. Finally, I could raise 40 points in TOEFL iBT. (80 points in TOEFL CBT)

Switzerland: 90 (R 28, L 30, S 24, W 27)

Ich glaube Strictly English ist eine der besten Institutionen überhaupt um sich auf den TOEFL vorzubereiten. Ich weiss, dass Strictly English hart daran gearbeitet hat um zu verstehen was zählt für den TOEFL test. Strictly English Lehrer haben mir Methoden beigebracht wie ich mein Testergebnis verbessern kann. Ich glaube der TOEFL Test funktioniert nach einem System, das man knacken kann wenn man erst einmal weiss wie man sein Englisch effektiv einsetzen kann. Strictly English hat sich, für mich, als sehr lohnenswerte Investition herausgestellt. Nach drei Wochen Nachhilfeunterricht konnte ich mein Testergebnis von 92 Punkten auf 109 Punkte verbessern.

Translation: I think Strictly English is one of the best TOEFL preparation institutions there is. I know Strictly English has worked hard to understand how the TOEFL test works. From Strictly English tutors I learned methods to successfully increase my score. I believe that the TOEFL test is a system that can be cracked once you know how to apply your English skills effectively. For me, Strictly English tutoring turned out to be a good investment. I increased my score a lot (92 - 109) with only three weeks of instruction!
