How many Lessons do I Need?

Improving your fluency in a language is NOT the same as learning facts.

In order to get better at a language, you need to build skills.

Your new language skills will only become natural and spontaneous after several weeks of constant studying.

For this reason, my shortest lesson package is 8 lessons. This gives us approximately 1 month to work together.

If you:

need a big increase in scores

have gaps in your language proficiency

need to work on pronunciation and delivery

have fossilized errors to correct

have anxiety, memory, or recall problems

cannot study regularly or consistently

then you should allow longer for your TOEFL studying

LET'S CHAT

Please contact me directly to book lessons.

I know it can be scary when you look at the cost of something and see that it comes to a few hundred dollars.

For this reason, I offer everyone the option to pay for lessons in instalments.

I don't charge extra for this service (unlike big language schools who often add on 'admin' fees for this option).

I believe that every student deserves good, clear, up to date advice for their TOEFL preparation.

I give my personal attention to every student who works with me and I do all that I can to help them. That's it. That's my goal!

I get to know my students. I learn about their strengths, weaknesses, backgrounds, and personal challenges. From this, I help them to prepare for their exam with the tools and the confidence to achieve their target scores as quickly as possible.

You'll see my personal logos on all Birkenhead English resources. I've created speaking and writing structures, reading, listening, grammar, and vocabulary exercises, and I know hundreds of different ways to practice to help you increase your fluency.

Resources and Study Materials

My name Birkenhead comes from an old English word meaning birch trees. My logos depict 2 birch leaves to reflect this meaning. I like the connection they form between trees and growth, and studying and growth.

These logos were designed especially for me. So when you see these little leaves on any study materials, you'll know they come from me, and that they can be trusted.
