As an English tutor I have tutored all ages, but I specifically tutor A Level Literature where I have a wide knowledge of the curriculum - I have tutored students across all the examination boards.

Georgina H
Dedicated English tutor
Hello! I’m Georgina, a recent Geography graduate from the University of Edinburgh and a current postgraduate student at LSE. I’ve been tutoring for over five years, working with students aged 7 to 18 across a wide range of subjects, including Maths, English, Biology, and Chemistry up to A-Level.My approach is friendly, supportive, and completely tailored to the student. I know that no two learners are the same, so I take time to understand how each student thinks, where they’re confident, and where they need a little extra support. Whether we’re tackling tricky topics or preparing for exams, I break...

I’m an enthusiastic and easy-going English tutor based in Edinburgh with over seven years’ experience helping students at all levels of the Scottish curriculum to achieve their learning goals.

With this in mind, I’d be keen to get to...
