8 Best TOEFL Prep Courses of 2026

Magoosh TOEFL gives you the most official material for the money on this list. Both Premium plans include up to 10 full-length practice tests from ETS, more than 1,300 official questions used under license, over 2,000 practice questions in total and more than 100 video lessons. Writing and speaking answers are graded by ETS, the organization that writes and scores the real TOEFL iBT, and Magoosh says the course is updated for the 2026 TOEFL. Premium for 1 month costs $109 and Premium for 6 months costs $129, or 4 monthly payments of $32.25, so the longer plan is the obvious choice unless your test is weeks away. Each plan includes a 7-day refund guarantee, a +4 point score guarantee, an AI tutor, a score predictor and a voucher that takes $40 off TOEFL registration in the United States, 3% in India and 10% in most other countries. The gap is human teaching: there are no live classes, so learners who want a teacher should look at TST Prep or Notefull.

TST Prep is the best option on this list if you want help from a real teacher without paying for a large package up front. The Emergency Course Basic costs $37 for one year and includes 6 hours of video lectures, 2 complete practice tests, academic vocabulary and 6 downloadable PDFs, while Emergency Course Premium raises that to 6 practice tests for $97. The Complete Test Pack adds twenty full tests for $89. Teacher services are sold one at a time: a TOEFL trial lesson costs $29, a speaking evaluation $29, and writing evaluations start at $27 for two essays with line-by-line correction and feedback within 48 hours. Private lesson packages cost $397 for 6 lessons, $597 for 10 and $897 for 18, each with access to the Score Builder Courses. Group classes run in 6 sessions per skill for $247, though start dates were listed as to be announced when we checked. TST Prep also offers a free 2026 TOEFL mock test. TST Prep does not advertise official ETS questions, so pair it with ETS TestReady for an official test.

PrepEx Pro suits learners who learn by doing a lot of practice and want it graded straight away. The $39.99 a month subscription covers more than 3,500 ETS-aligned questions with no daily limits, more than 35 full practice tests that include all 4 sections, timed and AI-graded, and 24 section tests. An 11-minute diagnostic builds a custom study plan, and three personalized progress reports a week analyze your practice data. The AI coach, Petra, comes with 6,000 credits a month, which PrepEx says covers up to 50 minutes of conversation. There is also a grammar suite with sentence-building drills and AI flash cards. Pro subscribers get a 10% TOEFL registration discount code, and because PrepEx is a TOEFL Channel Partner, they can add an official ETS TOEFL Practice Online test for $40 rather than the $49 single-test price. The catch is that the practice items are written to ETS specifications, not taken from ETS, and there are no human teachers.

ETS TOEFL TestReady is the place to start because it is free and it comes from ETS, the organization that creates the TOEFL iBT. ETS describes TestReady as a personalized prep portal for official TOEFL iBT practice resources, performance feedback and progress tracking. A free account gives you a dashboard where you can explore, buy and launch official practice materials. The free practice test familiarizes you with the test structure and gives immediate feedback on strengths and weak skills, and a short survey produces a free study plan tailored to your time frame. A free activity of the day rotates questions or full tasks from reading, listening, speaking and writing. TestReady also points to official books, prep courses, videos and tutors. What it does not give you for free is a full course: there are no video lessons or teachers in the free tier, and ETS did not show us USD prices for its paid practice tests, so those are pending. Use it to take a baseline test, then pick a course from this list.

TOEFL Mock Tests is the lowest-cost way on this list to get a large amount of practice with human feedback. The first test in every section and the first full test are free, and both include expert feedback on speaking and writing. Paid plans cost $8 a week, $20 a month or $50 for 75 days, and every plan unlocks all 120 tests and section drills, the self-study course, 1,575 practice exercises, 1,500 speaking drills, and grammar, interview and listen and repeat trainers. Writing and speaking evaluations are unlimited, and the site says feedback usually arrives within 30 minutes. Reading and listening are graded instantly, and a dashboard shows a weakness heatmap and band trend. The site states its content is aligned with the 2026 TOEFL iBT format. It does not advertise official ETS questions, and the study course is lighter than a full video course, so pair it with the free ETS practice test for an official benchmark.

ETS and Study.com announced the Official TOEFL Test Prep on November 20, 2025, ahead of the enhanced TOEFL iBT that launched on January 21, 2026. The program was developed with the creators of the TOEFL iBT and is sold as three- or six-month subscriptions. It includes TOEFL-style practice questions, adaptive practice that adjusts to each learner's level and personalized AI tutoring that guides study plans, suggests next steps and predicts scores. It also covers the new task types, including sentence building, email writing and interview-style speaking, with instant feedback, detailed analytics and progress tracking across reading, listening, speaking and writing. The strongest reason to choose it is the official partnership for the new test format. The weaker points for this list are price transparency and teaching: Study.com's site blocked our automated check, so we could not confirm a USD price, and the announcement does not mention live teachers. Check the current price on Study.com before you compare it with Magoosh or PrepEx.

Notefull's current TOEFL subscription, TOEFL Max: Writing, targets the section many test takers find hardest to raise on their own. For $47 a month you get 5 custom AI trainers that walk you through paragraph writing, grammar and strategy, pre-recorded video lessons, practice tests with personalized feedback returned within 24 to 48 hours, and live progress tracking with support. Notefull says that while you stay registered for TOEFL Max you also get its Gold Course Vault, which covers the other sections, and that material in both is updated for the TOEFL changes of January 2026. The approach is strong on feedback for writing but narrower than Magoosh or PrepEx, and the site mixes current offers with many past dated live classes, which makes it harder to see what is on sale today. Pick it as a writing add-on to a full course such as Magoosh.

Udemy is a marketplace rather than a single course, and its TOEFL topic page lists 572,460 learners. The featured course when we checked was Master the NEW TOEFL iBT 2026 Exam: A Complete Course by Keino Campbell, with 67.5 total hours, 329 lectures, a 4.6 rating from 9,569 reviews and an October 2026 update. Courses on Udemy are sold one at a time, and Udemy also sells a Personal Plan subscription that opens 28,500+ top courses, which is useful if you also want general English, grammar or academic writing courses. The strength is depth of video content and the ability to compare ratings before buying. The weaknesses are uneven quality across instructors, no ETS grading of your speaking or writing by a TOEFL rater. Udemy showed us prices only in Polish zloty from our location, so the USD price is pending; check the price in your country, and look for courses updated for the 2026 test format.
