I am a licensed attorney who attended law school at the Sorbonne University, Paris, and practiced in Belgium before moving to North Carolina, where I have been practicing since 2003. I am also licensed to practice in the United Kingdom. I have experience in the French, Belgian, and U.S. legal systems, and would be happy to tutor law students, Bar Exam candidates, or professionals seeking to gain a basic working knowledge or more advanced knowledge of legal concepts, legal systems, and specialized legal language.

With a B.A. in French and a diploma in French Phonetics from University College, London, and a certification in teaching English as a Second Language, I lived and taught English as a Second Language in France for 15 years in the public school system, the University system, and professional training schools for judges and lawyers.

I have experience teaching at all levels and to all age groups, from pre-school children to post-graduate level, including business people seeking to acquire a working knowledge of English as a Second Language or French.

As a British native, I speak English with a standard English accent. I am completely bilingual (English/French), and equally at ease teaching French or English.

Great tutor that knows the exam inside and out! Ditch the commercial courses for Judy!

The first half of my bar prep journey was extremely stressful. On top of studying during a global pandemic, my commercial bar prep course gave me no guidance on what to focus on and failed to provide me with a productive schedule. It was a waste of time of watching video after video that would always leave me asking the same question after watching, "What did I learn?" A little over 2 months before the exam, I decided it was a time for a change. That's when I found Judy. Right away Judy provided a short term and long term schedule of topics and kept me accountable on a daily basis. Over time we covered every topic and every piece of testable material. However, Judy does not bog down her students with the unnecessary details that a commercial bar prep course does, she hammers home the major aspects of each subject until you know it cold. This allows for truly productive studying and for you to attain a passing score by studying what is actually on the exam. Judy tailors the preparation for each part of the exam. For the MBE you will do real past exam questions on a daily basis until you complete upwards of 1000 before exam day. For the MEE, Judy's years of bar prep tutoring and knowledge of past exams have given her a "sixth sense" of what topics are going to be covered and when. She was right on the money for the topics covered. On exam day, the essays unfolded just as she predicted. For the MPT Judy has you do practice MPTs on a periodic basis and boils it down to a simple formula that saves you so much time and energy. while scoring all the points you need to pass. Do yourself a favor and ditch the overwhelming commercial bar prep courses with their fire hose approach and contact Judy. Reflecting back on the experience, I can truly say that I passed the bar exam on the first time in the most efficient manner because of Judy. She is knowledgeable, hard working, organized, and genuinely cares about her students and their success on the bar exam and beyond.

Brilliant, thorough, and caring instructor. I'd give six stars if I could. She deserves it! Forget Barbri, it is garbage and full of irrelevant information. Take Judy's course instead!

Judy is brilliant, supportive, and covers everything tested on the Bar Examination. She takes the time to completely explain examples and how to answer questions. Judy takes the time to review her students' homework and leaves important comments. If you take Judy's class and follow her instructions, you WILL PASS the Bar Exam! If there was a sixth star to give her, I'd do it!

Great tutor for the Bar

Judy is a great tutor and I wouldn’t have passed the Bar but for her guidance! She is very knowledgeable and she offers you tips and methods to crack the exam. She will teach you the black letter law that is highly tested and she will reinforce the knowledge by making you practice many MBEs MEEs and MPTs. Judy will boost your confidence throughout this stressful journey and will make a study plan that meets your personal needs!

Awesome encouraging tutor

Judy was awesome! She knew exactly how to coach us so that we covered every subject multiple times before the bar exam. We practiced all aspects of the exam including multiple choice, MPTs, and essays. My score jumped 18 points which was high enough for me that I passed every UBE jurisdiction! I cannot rave enough about Judy. She will help get you to the finish line and encourage you every step of the way! She even boosted my confidence along the way! I became so determined that I even took the bar exam while I had the flu and still crushed it! Judy rocks!!

Amazing Bar Tutor

Choosing Judy as my tutor was the best decision that I made for bar prep. The bar exam is unlike any exam and it can be daunting and expensive to study for. By investing in Judy as my tutor I was able to raise my score by 27 points and I passed the July 2023 bar exam. My advice would be to trust Judy and her process because I can guarantee that she knows exactly what she is doing. Judy truly wants all her students to pass and it is seen in the way she conducts every session. You will get out of the session what you put in, attend all the sessions because there is always golden nuggets that Judy gives in the session. Trust the process she will not steer you wrong.

excellent bar exam tutor

Judy was a pleasure to work with even with the short period of time before I had to take the New York bar exam in July. She explains things in plain language and emphasizes the relevant legal principles and concepts required for being successful on the bar. More importantly, Judy is the best cheerleader and genuinely cares about students’ success. I highly recommend her as a tutor.

Judy is an amazing tutor!

Judy is such an amazing tutor! I could not have passed the bar exam without her. She is extremely dedicated to her students and takes so much time to check in with everyone individually to make sure they are on the right path to success. She builds a community of students who can work together toward their goals and support one another in a time that can feel very stressful and isolating. She also takes a holistic approach to tutoring, supporting students both in their study efforts and their overall mindset going into the bar. She also does a great job directing students to the most important subjects so that you know where to focus your time and energy. Could not recommend her enough!
