Success Stories
Oana Irena Belu
APRIL 2014 – PHYSICAL THERAPY.
Welcome to our April Success Story! This month NoteFull is proud to present Oana I. from Romania!
Oana was working hard so she could get her Physical Therapy license. That meant she would need to get the following TOEFL scores: R21, L18, S26, W24
The path to her dream scores wouldn’t be an easy one. But with confidence and the right guidance, Oana would learn that anything is possible!
Beginning Again
Oana’s challenge was that she was a mother of two. So, it would be hard to find a path that fit into her busy life.
Her TOEFL studies lasted for about a year. She started out with prep systems like Princeton, Kaplan, and Rogers. So, she mainly studied by herself. But it seemed as if all the resources she was using had conflicting information.
She was at a loss for which resource to put her trust in. Which one was correct? How was she to know if she picked the right one? With two children at home, she didn’t have much time to waste following the wrong guide. The situation was very frustrating for her. And it’s a situation that is familiar to a lot of our students.
The TOEFL was the only exam Oana had ever failed in her entire life. She was a great student. She earned two degrees back in her home country! How could she be having so much trouble with the TOEFL?!
Thankfully, her frustration would soon come to an end. After going through several different test prep resources, there was light at the end of the tunnel.
Finding Help
Oana finally found her solution in NoteFull. Her main issue with the other resources was that she didn’t know where she needed help.
“after NoteFull… everything cleared up for me.”
She built an incredible study plan for herself with the following NoteFull programs:
- 6-Step Writing Mastery
- 6-Step Speaking Mastery
- Complete TOEFL Mastery
- Speaking & Writing Reviews
- One-on-one Tutoring Sessions
NoteFull helped her zero in on exactly what she needed to improve. She found that she had trouble speaking smoothly. Time management was hard for her too. And she also needed to learn how to take better notes. The reviews and tutoring sessions showed her why she was having these problems. And more importantly, they gave her effective ways of fixing them.
Oana was studying for about 30 hours per week between all her NoteFull resources. And she stuck to this schedule for about 3 months. She was quickly becoming a TOEFL expert!
Her only regret?…
Not finding NoteFull sooner! “it would’ve saved a lot of time, money and stress.”
On Their Way
After one long year, Oana was rewarded for her hard work. Her scores shot up by 5 points in both the speaking and writing sections. Amazing! Congrats, Oana! You didn’t just get your goal scores. You shattered them!
For Oana, mastering strategy and repetition was key.
“NoteFull is the best program not only for TOEFL exams, but for any exam…The Notefull strategies are amazing and I wish I could find a similar course for my National Physical Therapy Exam.”
Oana has some final words of support for you:
“Notefull improved my overall self-esteem and motivation, taught me how to have a thorough plan with my busy hectic family life, and reviewing the steps many times clarified my weaknesses. I strongly believe in NoteFull and I think that any NoteFull student could finally pass the TOEFL exam, so don’t give up!”
