I was born during the greatest era of college basketball in Las Vegas history. The Runnin Rebels of UNLV were a dominant force for more than a decade in college basketball, and it's because the coach had a system called the amoeba defense which basically had a high-risk of giving up a lot of points, but also had a ridiculously high reward with scoring many more points than their opponents.
In this podcast, I restructure an introduction with one of my students and implemented an internal preview instead of using the super-common templates that are out everywhere. After that, I break down the rest of the essay.

Happy New Years and welcome to 2021!
This has always been a big problem for me. For instance, if my amazing followers go from my podcast to IG/Whatsapp, more than likely they will be my clients because they're looking for immediate help. However, on Facebook, it's more "I want something for free and then I'll disappear."
In addition to that, my follow-up, emails, etc are not very good after the meeting, too. So, in this episode, both you and I will get an immense amount of clarity on how to close.

I was sitting in class, going back and forth in what I thought was an amazing conversation with a new student. While I was speaking to her, I was figuring out the specific areas of focus she needs: planning, sales, marketing, corporate finance, vocabulary that focuses on that, listening capabilities, developing confidence, personal development. This is why I do....with my online students. A day later, the complaint had come and I was shocked. "Arsenio, teach 70% in the book." What? Are you kidding me? I just customized a perfect course in which I charge big bucks online for and you want to learn page-by-page like how the old foreigners have taught for centuries?
Do people still believe that the book is the key? I mean, if I need to learn Spanish 501 verbs, then the book is important. Relearning something that you already know is a waste of time.
In the likes of Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand and other Asian countries, it's all about THE BOOK. The book has all the answers. Learning the verb "to be" is going to ultimately take you to the next level, and this is why Asia is lagging behind South/Central American, European, and even sub-Saharan African Nations.
This brings me to your question: "what and how should I learn then?" In this podcast, I dive into details, systems and learning things in context.

Welcome back to another TOEFL iTP reading! Big shout out to all my Indonesians who have been viewing my blog. You've catapulted my all-time play mark (in one day) just a couple of days ago, so thank you! And for all of you who are interested in the title, this specific reading is from Longman Complete Test One. Longman's grammar, listening and reading is far easier than the actual tests, so I wanted to emphasize what type of reading this is versus the extremely difficult reads from PBT. That will be coming soon, but also remember to go on my TOEFL iTP Patreon Badge for all exclusive and endless amounts of material!

Yay! We're just shy of the New Year, and I just want to quickly update you guys that there's a (buy 1 get 1 free) buddy deal from December 25th-31st. This means if you want online coaching, you can bring another friend -- free of charge. Take advantage of this because price increases begin in January!
Now, onto the podcast. There's a lot to cover, and because I'm uploading this in advance, I'm making a prediction of 96 for Paula's TOEFL score on December 20th. I will edit and write the score down below. She wants just an 80, but I hate lowering expectations.
In addition to that, this podcast is about how you focus on the ramble instead of the substance. Very critical for a lot of you out there.
Update: She got a 24 in reading and 28 in listening, making that 52 out of the 80 points she needs. She's currently waiting on her speaking and writing score.

So, if we look at locations, accommodation, luxury food and drink, meeting rooms, beautiful surroundings, etc....what's the most important, in your opinion? This is critical because often times we lose site of what's important. For instance, conferences in Singapore and Japan are at perfect locations in regards to public transportation. Meanwhile, in Thailand, the only conference hall is in a traffic-infested area with no formidable transportation and a nightmare to get to. So, let's dive into hotels (G Tower in Kuala Lumpur), different features and Slottsholm, which is a hotel/conference center (originally a castle) on an island just south of Stockholm.

In this episode, you're going to hear me speak about her rhythm and how it sounded a bit unnatural at the beginning. In addition to that, she had spent 19 seconds on the reading/introduction before going into the talk. This is a big NO NO because you're being graded based on what you hear and what you report, not the reading or introduction. Keep that in mind. On a positive note, her paraphrasing was good and linkers were spot on. She needs to allocate the right time for all phases of the talk because in the end it sounded a bit rushed.

This is my official rebrand.
My journey as a TOEFL iBT coach has come to a powerful close, and with it, the era of TOEFL-focused podcasts. What began as a mission to help students pass…
Welcome to the next chapter: High Performance Coaching.
This journey didn’t begin today. It began on January 3rd, 2016, when I made a decision that would forever change the trajectory of my life. Immersing myself in Napoleon Hill’s Law of Success, Jack Canfield’s Success Principles, and Lisa Nichols’ Abundance Now, I found the mindset and tools that helped me rise above the vehement and relentless racial discrimination I faced in this country. Those challenges did not break me — they built me.
In 2017, I made one of the most courageous decisions of my life: I walked away from a toxic job at New Education World in Future Park Rangsit. That leap of faith led to the creation of this very podcast on March 27th, 2018.
From ESL beginnings to TOEFL iTP episodes in 2019, and eventually into the TOEFL iBT space, what followed was an unbelievable 5.5-year journey. I built my own online business from the ground up and helped propel hundreds — perhaps even thousands — of students toward success. Watching others achieve their dreams became one of the greatest honors of my life.
But growth demands evolution.
As the TOEFL episodes began to slow, something remarkable happened — my coaching episodes surged. More listeners tuned in. More lives were impacted. The message was clear: this is where I am meant to go next.
High performance is no longer just something I teach — it is the life I live.
Later this year, I will take another major step forward by earning my license from Burke and Isobel in South Africa to become a licensed transformation coach. Soon after, I will continue my expansion through the High Performance Coaching program with Brendon Burchard.
Because this mission is not about helping someone pass a test.
It’s about helping people redesign their lives.
It’s about resilience, courage, reinvention, and stepping into the person you were always meant to become.
And now — you are stepping into this new phase with me.
At some point, there will be programs and products designed to accelerate your growth. But first, I am committed to becoming the very best transformation coach I can possibly be — because you deserve nothing less.
If you feel called to grow…
If you are ready to challenge your limits…
If you know you are meant for more…
You are in the right place.
Leave a like, subscribe, send fan mail, and even consider supporting the podcast — and most importantly, embark with me on this unbelievable journey.
This is only the beginning.
