A2 – B1
Foundation. Core professional vocabulary and the structures that carry it.
The Maurice Method
Professional English, built around your world.
A teaching platform for adults who are expert in their field and need the English to match. Every lesson is anchored in a subject that already matters to them, and the language arrives with the subject rather than instead of it.
At a glance
- A2 – C2 One topic spine, every level
- Eight content areas Business, leadership, global affairs, science, arts, lifestyle, careers, interview
- Interactive lessons Practice, listening, writing, speaking, review
- Progress saved Work resumes where you left it
Principle
Content that matches the mind of the student.
The material is sophisticated because the people using it are. A surgeon, a project financier and an energy executive share the method but never the material.
Topics as the vehicle
You study negotiation, informed consent, carbon markets or project finance — and the English comes with it. Grammar and vocabulary are taught inside real professional content.
Calibrated to level
One topic spine runs from A2 to C2. The subject stays serious; the language is pitched precisely where you are, then moves as you move.
Built by a teacher
Every lesson is written by Duncan Maurice — TESOL and TEFL qualified, native English speaker, and a trainer of teachers.
Levels
A2 to C2, on one spine.
The same professional subject is written at every level, so a team of mixed ability can work on the same topic in the same week without anyone being patronised or left behind.
B2
Operational. Meetings, reporting, client conversation and written correspondence.
C1
Advanced. Negotiation, presentation, argument and register control.

Open lessonYour platform, your content, your cohort.
The Maurice Method can be deployed privately for an organisation — configured to your branding, loaded with your own documents and scenarios, and restricted to your staff.
Your pitch decks, compliance material, technical standards and client scenarios become the teaching content, so nothing has to be translated back into the actual job.
Included
- Private instance Your branding and access control
- Your content Written into lessons at the right level
- Diagnostic assessment Level mapped at intake
- Progress reporting Written and suitable for a budget holder
- Live teaching Individual or cohort, online
