The Judy Method

Good teaching starts with evidence, not assumptions.

The Judy Method is my practical approach to personalised English coaching. Whether you are preparing for OET or developing your Professional English, I don't start by deciding what you need to be taught. I start by finding out what you need to achieve and looking at evidence of what you can already do.

How it works

A clear process, built around the individual.

1

Discover

What are you trying to achieve? Where are you now? What situations, tasks or results are causing difficulty?

2

Gather evidence

Rather than guessing, we look at what you actually produce — for example an OET letter or roleplay, or how you communicate in a professional situation.

3

Diagnose using the evidence

We identify what is already working and what is actually getting in the way. The problem isn't always where you think it is.

4

Focus

We prioritise. Instead of trying to improve everything at once, we concentrate on the changes most likely to make a meaningful difference.

5

Practise

You practise those changes in realistic OET or professional situations, so you're learning to use them rather than simply understanding them.

6

Evaluate and refine

We look at the new evidence. What's improved? What still needs work? Then we refine the focus and repeat the process.

Evidence before assumptions.

The aim is not to give you more English to learn for the sake of it. It is to identify what will make the biggest difference, practise it deliberately, and use the results as evidence for what to do next.

Preparing for OET?

Apply the method to your OET preparation.

Use evidence from your actual OET performance to identify the areas that deserve your time and practice.
