My Experience
I have been tutoring for 3 years. During this time, I have been tutoring many different students, ranging in ages and in subjects. A few examples include a student who I tutored for 2 years, from the age of 8-10. We focused on all her homework studies; Mathematics, English, Geography, History, Italian, Spanish, German, Science, Art, Art History, as well as Piano practice and reading. I also worked with her on revision for her end of year exams. Other students I have taught include focusing on 11+ English, 13+ English, two siblings aged 5 and 7 who I taught English, Creative writing, Spanish, Drama and Art, a 15 year old student who I taught GCSE English Literature, History, Spanish, Drama and Religious studies. I also spent my last 2 years of school giving informal mentoring to art and drama students in my spare time, both practical and theoretical, due to my position as Art Scholar. At university, I took part in a peer mentoring, which involved guiding new students in academic and pastoral matters.

My Reviews
“My children love working with Gina and look so forward to when she comes. They have become a lot more inquisitive and confident since she has been working with them and are engaging in conversations that they would have been afraid to participate in before. She is really great and is like a big sister to them.”

“Gina was a fantastic tutor who really brought out the best in my daughter. Her confidence and self-belief has grown hugely, and her reading skills/motivation to read is now better than ever. My daughter now does her homework without anyone telling her to, and that is all down to Gina encouraging her to get it done before dinner time!”
