Student Voice
I first took class at TOFL seminar during summer vacation of my senior year. I took the 2-week intensive SAT course, which provides classes based on SAT reading and writing sections. Since SAT was one of the important parts of my admission process, I thought that this course at TOFL Seminar would provide me the right skills. My SAT reading and writing skills have definitely improved in the short 2 -week period. I was able to learn skills to tackle different kinds of questions through the interactive discussions on actual questions.
After the 2-week intensive course, I took extra courses throughout my summer vacation, and after wards. The teachers and staff kindly supported me through the process of admission registrations, checking my personal statements and building schedules. Especially with my personal statements, I was able to receive comments for each essay. This was very helpful, as I was often unsure of the format of the contents. I have put my effort to rewrite and edit my personal statements until I was finally satisfied.
I think that, without entering TOFL Seminar, I would have not been able to be accepted to all of the universities I have applied to. Teachers and staff members of TOFL Seminar are open for counseling and answering questions. Their generous support will certainly help you available. I think that if you work your best towards the goal, you will find success in the future.
