Almost two years ago, we released my first video lessons for the TOEFL iBT at Magoosh TOEFL. Since then, nearly 10,000 students have used Magoosh TOEFL lessons to increase their scores, and the results have been incredible. I’ve always known that preparation for the TOEFL is hugely important, and I had students in personal lessons increase their scores by 5 or 10 points, but I still I hadn’t expected to see so many large score increases. Still, we always know we can help our students even more, so we are always learning about what you want and what we can improve. In the last several months, we learned that many of our students wanted even more advanced lessons—they wanted more strategy to get to even higher scores.
That’s why I recorded more Magoosh TOEFL lessons, which I have slowly added to our premium site over the last few months. Since February, we have added almost 40 new lessons.

We’re not necessarily finished, of course. Magoosh is always changing and improving! If our students want even more lessons, I’ll film more lessons. But I don’t imagine that will happen, to be honest. 🙂 At this point, Magoosh TOEFL includes lessons on every single TOEFL question and all the important strategies—from the basic to the advanced.
