Personal Description:
I am a qualified Solicitor originally from Buenos Aires, in Argentina. I started my career as a Lawyer working in commercial law in Buenos Aires and moved to the UK to undertake a Master's degree in Law at Cambridge in 1996, as a member of Clare College. I remained in the UK ever since and requalified as a Solicitor within this jurisdiction in 2005. I completed both the CPE and LPC with Distinction at London Metropolitan University. Having requalified in the UK, I worked for a city based firm in Central London before moving into a high street law practice in Sutton. I am taking a career break from law whilst bringing up my three young children.
Teaching Experience:
In terms of my teaching experience, I started young as a personal tutor as a teenager in order to pay my way at university as a undergraduate in Argentina and have been teaching ever since. Whilst studying and living in Cambridge, I taught at various sixth-form colleges at GCSE and A-level in both Law and Spanish, prior to obtaining my UK legal qualification. I also taught Contract Law at South Bank University in London and EU Law at Coventry University. I am currently an examiner for Edexcel, AQA and Cambridge International Examinations at GCSE and A-level which gives me particular insight into supporting students to achieve high grades in my subjects.
Teaching Approach:
I am well regarded among my students and am able to help everyone to achieve their full potential. Many of my former students have gone on to study at Oxbridge and become successful solicitors or other professions in their own right. I have also inspired a number of adult learners to reach a level of fluency in Spanish, which they had never achieved in any language while at school. I have a friendly, relaxed but energetic approach to tutoring. I always take an interest in the specific needs of every individual student.

From Naomi (/5): Learning a second language can be extremely daunting but I have found that the process has not been as scary with Georgina's help! The focus on having conversations during our sessions is great as I am learning new vocabulary all the time and beginning to feel more at ease speaking in a different language.
I feel my confidence is growing everyday and I would recommend Georgina to anyone wanting to learn Spanish.

From Abdul (/5): Excellent
Reply from: Georgina: Thank you, Abdul, much appreciated.
From John (/5): Fantastic teacher, learning things I never thought I would be learning after only 4 months.
I particularly like when I am tying to say something, I know the word but cannot put it out of my memory, Georgina subtly hints and I then find the word.
My ambition was to be able to feel confident in simple conversation with Spanish speakers by March 2018 and I'm happy with the progress I am making with Georgina's help.

From Marjorie (/5): Georgina is an excellent and enthusiatic tutor. She gives me regular feedback on my son's progress and advice on how my son can obtain an A*. My son found it easy to understand Georgina's teaching methods and to share his difficulties. I would highly recommend Georgina to GCSE students that require extra support to obtain the best grade in their Spanish examination. Marjorie M
Reply from: Georgina: Thank you, Marjorie!
From Anna (/5): I have had private tuition exam preparation with Georgina for various Law subjects: Tort Law, Land Law, Equity and Trust. I am a mature foreign student, working, looking after my family and studying Law at the same time. I have had various tutors, but none so good like Georgina. She is having a very easy method to understand and she will always make sure if you get it right. She will test you many times and will offer lots of examples to prepare you for a harder hurdle at your exam, no matter how little knowledge you have. She manage to condense and compress all the material in exactly the amount of hours you ask. She care very much for her students and always call or text to find out how well you did in exam? She's very friendly, easy to get on with, never let you down. Georgina is excellent! Highly recommended specially for law students!
Reply from: Georgina: Thank you for your kind words, Anna!

From Kelly-Ann (/5): Georgina was very friendly and helpful, it was nice and relaxed but really made a difference, i would definately recommend using Georgina to anyone who is struggling with any aspect of the law, Georgina even helped me to realise that equity law could be fun!
Reply from: Georgina: Thank you for your feedback, Kelly-Ann! Best wishes and congratulations on achieving your LLB.
From Christina (/5): I have had three study sessions with Georgina and each time I contact her either by e-mail, telephone or a visit, she makes me feel really welcome like a friend. For our first meeting I was 1/2hr late, Georgina put me at ease straightaway by saying that her place could be awkward to locate at a first visit. She is professional, punctual, organised, down to earth and student friendly. To me she has real passion for tutoring especially on a one-to-one basis. So If you are thinking of Georgina as a tutor, I will recommend you stop thinking and just do it.
Reply from: Georgina: Thank you Christina!
From Peter (/5): Georgina is terrific - she makes you work and she streches you but happily is very patient and has been empathetic at every session. Georgina has clearly got loads of experience in handling students like me and her technique / structure / material is first class. I need Spanish both for pleasure and for business and absolutely intend to stay with Georgina until I get to the level that I have set for myself. It has been a long time since I have done any formal studying and the first time I have had the experience of using a 1 : 1 tutor. I should have done this years ago and am delighted that I have Georgina to help me. Peter Atkinson
Reply from: Georgina: Muchas gracias Peter por su feedback - you are a terrific student!
