About Me

Hi, and welcome. My name is Joe Goya, and I created this website to offer free TOEFL study materials and practical strategies designed for the updated test format.

The goal of this site is simple: to help learners prepare for the TOEFL effectively without unnecessary cost.

Although my own test experience focused on the SAT and GRE, I understand that preparing for standardized exams often requires significant time and money. This is especially true for international students.

During my graduate studies at Purdue University, I worked closely with many international high school students who struggled with the TOEFL.

This is especially true for international students. As a part of my research in Purdue grad program, I’ve worked a lot of international high schoolers who struggled with TOEFL.

That experience motivated me to build a resource that saves learners both time and money while still offering high-quality preparation.

To perform well on the TOEFL, you need more than language skills alone. A solid understanding of academic topics is also essential. For this reason, each question on this site is designed not only to strengthen vocabulary and grammar, but also to build background knowledge across common academic disciplines tested on the exam.

I hope this website supports your preparation and helps you reach your goals.

Best of luck on your TOEFL journey!

My Background

I completed both my undergraduate and master’s programs at Purdue University, where my primary academic interest was psychology, with a particular focus on student performance in standardized tests such as the ACT, SAT, GRE, TOEFL, and IELTS.

Although my research did not concentrate on these exams themselves, I had extensive opportunities to study their development in depth, including their historical backgrounds, underlying philosophies, and test design principles.

I am currently working in the IT education sector, where I design and develop educational software aimed at helping students improve their performance on standardized tests in a practical and effective way.
