Testimonials

Georgina helped my daughter with her A-Level Spanish and helped her raise her grade from her mock exam by 2 grades by the final exams.

I contacted Georgina fairly close to the A-Levels, after my daughter scored BBC in her mocks, with the C in Spanish. As she needed AAA for her preferred university course she was particularly worried about Spanish.

My daughter had 2 sessions a week with Georgina from the end of February right up until the night before the final exam at the beginning of June. Georgina’s commitment right up until the last moment was notable and she was still encouraging my daughter to do past papers the night before the last exam. Alongside the two sessions Georgina set her work to do in between sessions which she marked promptly.

Georgina has a no-nonsense but calm and authoritative approach which ensured my daughter knuckled down and worked hard. She also helped with some of her fundamental understanding and helped her to build confidence in the subject.

On results day she was delighted to see that she had scored AAA across all three subjects. Not only that, but her place within the grade boundary was higher in Spanish than in the two other subjects she studied, which is a reflection of the hard work she put in and the quality of the teaching that Georgina provided.

Thank you Georgina for squeezing her in at the last minute. Your “stay calm and don’t panic” but firm approach really helped my daughter to achieve her full potential in this subject.

I would recommend Georgina to anyone whose child is struggling with languages at any level.

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 .

Profesora Irvine is an amazing tutor! She was happy to visit me at home and encouraged me in all aspects of the Spanish GCSE course.
Since taking lessons with her my confidence and understanding of the language have greatly improved, particularly the speaking element.
I was struggling with Spanish until I began the tutorials. Having received a C for my mock examination - I was absolutely delighted to be awarded a Grade 7 (A) this summer!
I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Profesora Irvine.

Miss Irvine's outstanding linguistic skills and cultural knowledge were invaluable at every stage of my Cambridge application; with focused sessions covering everything from linguistic accuracy and grammar to Hispanic literature and film. Together with advice on interview technique, her tutoring gave me the drive, depth of understanding and confidence I needed to secure and meet my offer. Thanks to her constant encouragement and passion for all things Spanish, I was able to pursue a degree I never though I would, and for that I will always be grateful!

Thank you for an amazing year in Spanish! I’ve enjoyed every lesson and you’ve helped me develop my knowledge greatly. I wish you all the best and will miss having you as our Spanish teacher.

A massive thank you for teaching me Spanish since Year 8 and for always planning amazing and interesting lessons.

Gracias por ser la mejor profesora de español y ayudarme durante todo el año. !Todos te echaremos de menos tanto!

Thank you for being my Spanish teacher for three years; I’ve really enjoyed it and learnt a lot.

I would like to thank you for all of your hard work and how efficiently you have taught me Spanish this year.

Thank you so much for everything you have done to help me in the last four years! Thank you for being so kind and lovely and always having a smile on your face. I will miss you so much! I wish you all the best for the future!

Thank you very much for being such a great and inspiring Spanish teacher to me since year 8! I have your enthusiasm to thank for taking it at GCSE and then A Level and next at university! I appreciate your encouragement to do my best and all the extra help you have given. You are a great teacher and I wish you all the best at Profesora Irvine!

Georgina tutored my son in Spanish at both GCSE and then onto A Level, helping him gain top grades in examinations which afforded him the opportunity to accept a university place at Oxford. In the classroom environment teachers are restricted with both time and class sizes not allowing them to spend time giving valuable one to one support. Having this opportunity to work alongside such a talented and amazing linguist meant he was able to consolidate what he had already learnt and then progress to achieve a deeper more solid understanding of both the written and spoken language. Georgina was very organised and lessons were structured, interesting and set at a suitable learning level and pace. This was helpful not only to him but also to me as a parent knowing that as a direct result of Georgina’s support he was not under undue pressure and as a result gained more self confidence in his own ability and worked to his full potential. I would recommend Georgina’s services to linguists at all levels.
