About me

I was a TOEIC and TOEFL test-preparation materials and methods developer at the world headquarters of the largest children's night school in the world.  It has more than one million Japanese and a million South Korean students enrolled and is a household name in the West.  The test preparation system I have recently developed shows you how to translate narrative and informative text into multiple-choice question-answer text. The logic and syntax are very different. You need practice in synonym/pronoun/paraphrase identification and matching/pairing key words across these discourse types, too. My system is simple and uses graphics a lot.
