Georgina - Willesden tutor
Information About Georgina:
Personal Description:
I am a qualified science teacher with QTS, a PGCE and a degree in Biochemistry. I am passionate about helping students understand challenging scientific concepts, build confidence and achieve their academic goals.
I specialise in Biology and Chemistry at GCSE, IGCSE and A-level, alongside KS3 Science and Mathematics. I also support younger students preparing for 7+, 11+ and 13+ entrance examinations, including verbal and non-verbal reasoning.
I am friendly, patient and approachable, and I adapt my communication style to suit each student. I offer online tuition to students throughout the UK and internationally.
Teaching Experience:
I have several years of teaching and private tutoring experience across London and Dubai. I completed my teacher training in London, teaching Science at KS3 and KS4 and Biology and Chemistry at A-level. My experience includes teaching at Harris Westminster Sixth Form, where I worked with academically ambitious students preparing for competitive university applications.
Before qualifying as a teacher, I worked as an Academic Lead for Biology and Chemistry and provided private tuition through established education companies in the UK and UAE. I have taught students following the AQA, Edexcel, OCR, Cambridge International, IB and American curricula.
My experience includes one-to-one tuition, small-group teaching, homeschooling support and examination preparation. I have worked with students across a wide range of abilities, from those needing help with foundational knowledge to high-achieving students aiming for top grades.
Tutoring Approach:
My tutoring is structured around each student's individual needs, current level and academic goals. I begin by identifying gaps in knowledge and understanding before creating a focused plan linked to the student's curriculum and examination board.
I explain difficult concepts clearly and break them into manageable steps, checking understanding throughout the lesson with targeted questions and active recall. For examination students, I combine subject knowledge with regular past-paper practice, focusing on command words, application questions, calculations and mark-scheme requirements.
I aim to create a supportive environment in which students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. My goal is not only to improve grades but also to build confidence, independence and effective study habits. I can also provide parents with regular feedback on progress and recommended next steps.
