TOEFL Tips and News is a free way for students to keep updated on the latest TOEFL developments, share English learning tips, and receive helpful insights from ETS on how to pass their exam.

Also right on board with the repetition thing. I would add that doing something different with it each time is even better, e.g. having a box of words they need to learn and pulling them out each day for a different revision game each lesson. The other point I have learnt the hard way is that some things just won't stick for some people (me too when studying!) due to bizarre mental blocks and it's sometimes worth moving on to something they will learn easier for whatever hidden reason, especially if the students can use one of the other things you learn in the same situation or to help them understand and learn that blocked thing easier.
