How do I know if I can self study or if I need a tutor?

Answer 1

Hi! This is a great question! I would say that you would need a tutor for any of these reasons:

1. You find it hard to sit down and study.
2. You find taking standardized tests challenging, and feel you don't have any strategies for taking the test.
3. You feel like you are behind in one of the topics of the TOEFL: speaking, listening comprehension, reading comprehension or writing.
4. You scored low previously and don't know how to go about improving.
5. You need a schedule that you will follow consistently.

Those are the top reasons to get help from a tutor. I hope this helps!
