You can take several classes with me, other tutors, or even professors from Stanford, Harvard, and Yale!!!!!!! Some of you will STILL not get 26 in Speaking if you only focus on learning strategies, tips, and tricks.
Some of you will NEVER get the score. Why? YOU are the reason.
I see this wrong attitude, especially among young pharmacists! They want to get the scores fast without putting in the effort, without paying attention to what Sherlen says in the classes, and feeling angry and frustrated at the end when they don’t get the scores! Isn’t it time to get responsibility?
TOEFL Students, It’s Time for a Reality Check If you’re struggling to fix your grammar, pronunciation mistakes or improve your fluency, here’s the truth you NEED to hear:
Repetition is your weapon. Without it, your brain won’t unlearn bad habits, and you won’t condition yourself to produce correct forms and sounds naturally.Repetition is the secret to success. It’s not enough to learn the strategies or get feedback from your tutor. You must actively use that feedback to condition your brain to produce the correct forms and sounds. This only happens when you practice again and again, until the correct way feels natural and automatic.
Here’s the problem: Some students just look at the feedback passively—you see your mistakes, nod your head, and move on. That’s NOT how improvement works. If you’re not repeatedly practicing the corrected forms and sounds, your brain will keep using the old, fossilized mistakes.
Repetition works like this:
Sherlen pinpoints your weak areas—whether it’s grammar, pronunciation, or fluency. You identify the mistakes and replace them with the correct forms. You practice those correct forms over and over until they become second nature. You condition your brain and mouth to speak at the speed that a 26 score requires.
Without repetition, nothing changes. Strategies won’t save you if you’re not training your brain to make the right choices automatically. Here’s the truth no one likes to admit:
You’re bored? Great. Push through it. Success isn’t exciting every day. You feel lazy? Fine. Do it anyway. Success comes to those who show up.
You want high scores but won’t practice daily? That’s called a dream, not a goal.
Imagine this: Every repetition you do rewires your brain, making the correct forms feel easier and more natural. But if you skip this step, or stop practicing the moment your classes end, you’ll stay stuck in the same cycle of mistakes.
Don’t let excuses hold you back. You CAN rewire your brain, but only if you’re willing to do the work.Wake up. Show up. Repeat. And watch your results follow.
