Why TOEFL scores plateau
We start with a diagnostic, not a curriculum. I review your real scores, run a grammar diagnostic, and build the plan around your weakest areas — so we never spend your money reviewing what you already know.
How TOEFL coaching works
A score that stops moving almost always means a specific learning gap — not a lack of effort. Hours of apps or classes and the number won't budge; that usually signals a foundation gap self-study isn't built to find.
Ted Conway — TESOL-certified English coachA plan built on your weak sections
Reading speed, listening question styles, speaking, writing — the diagnostic decides where the hours go, not a one-size curriculum.
A framework for TOEFL speaking and writing
I teach TEDL — Topic, Example, Detail, Linking — the response system I built with my students, so those sections stop being a gamble.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be fluent already to work with you?
You should be comfortable in conversational English. My focus is precision and confidence for professional settings — not first-time instruction.
What kinds of professionals do you work with?
Executives, teams, and individual professionals who want stronger business and workplace English — for meetings, presentations, interviews, and high-stakes conversations.
Do you offer online classes or only in Houston?
I coach remotely across the U.S. Most professionals choose online because it's easy to fit around work.
Do you prepare people for the TOEFL or other exams?
Yes. TOEFL and proficiency exam prep is a regular part of what I do, built around your test date.
What does a session actually look like?
We work on something real — a mock interview, a presentation, an email — and sharpen clarity, pronunciation, and confidence as we go.c
