My sessions with Georgina were fantastic and I can't recommend her highly enough. She was extremely supportive with the more technical grammar preparation for my Cambridge application but also helped me develop my wider reading. I was accepted to Cambridge and felt really well prepared throughout the process in large part due to her support, knowledge and belief in my abilities. The interview can seem daunting but Georgina certainly elevated my confidence.
