Student Testimonials

"TST videos helped me a lot and I wouldn’t have been able to get the score I needed without them. Josh gave me excellent tips on how to handle the time on the speaking part and on some other things that were preventing me from getting my goal score. With his help, I was able to achieve 29 on the speaking part totaling 104 on my score. I highly recommend Josh and the TST team to everyone who’s studying with TOEFL."

Lorrayne
Graduate student

"I decided to take Josh MacPherson’s online tutorial classes. I had nothing to lose, I actually was ready to quit. I took the test after my six sessions… I got shocked with my score, I went from 23 to 27!… it worked like magic. Josh is awesome!"

Ursula
Teacher

"I took 24+ writing class with Josh, I had not been confident as I am now. His strategy is to help you set the psychological state first to be ready for studying, then he explained how the e-rater work, so you can easily organize yourself to beat it. Last thing he is resourceful and informative and willing to put his soul on helping out to reach my goal score."
