About
Hi there! With over 7 years of experience in tutoring, in which time I have tutored over 80 students, I am excited to offer my expertise in English, History and Legal Studies to students who are looking to achieve their academic goals.
I graduated from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) with a Bachelor of Laws and a Bachelor of Arts in English and History with Distinction.
During my high school years, I achieved outstanding results in English, Modern History, and Legal Studies, graduating as DUX of my school with band 6s (over 90) in:
- Advanced English
- Extension 1 English
- Extension 2 English
- Modern History
- Legal Studies
I understand the stress students are under and the great demand that is placed on them in their senior high school years in particular. Consequently, I understand how to work with students in order to maximise marks and allow them to work to the best of their abilities and beyond.
When tutoring, I will focus on enhancing students’ understanding of the subject itself and utilise my knowledge and resources to allow students to apply and develop their skills. Using the English, History and Legal skills I have learnt at school, in university, and beyond, I will help students achieve achieve their greatest potential.
With my in-depth knowledge of the English language and its nuances, I am well-equipped to help students excel in their studies. As a professional, I also understand the practicality and importance of mastering English skills, even for students who do not plan to pursue careers in purely English-related fields. With this in mind, I take a unique approach to tutoring that not only focuses on academic excellence but also on emphasising the importance of practical communication and comprehension skills that can be applied in any field.
I help my students with assignments, essay writing, creative writing and exam preparation, providing annotated commentary.
I am an experienced tutor, and I offer tutoring in English (Standard, Advanced and Extension 1), Modern History and Legal Studies.
NOTE: My main focus area is English, however I will be happy to assist during tutoring sessions in history and legal studies.
Since I began tutoring, I have helped over 80 students, ranging from years 3-12, helping many of my students achieve band 6s. (Take a peek at some student reviews below!)
I have a Working With Children Check.

Reviews
Georgia is the chillest and most helpful tutor I’ve ever met! Alongside her immense academic support with my failing Advanced English grades (which eventually turned from bottom 30% in my grade into a band 5 [82]) and extremely confused state in Modern History (to a band 5 [82] as well) her friendly and humourous personality made her insanely easy to open up to and share my problems with. I felt like she really cared about helping me, also seen in her *very* lengthy patience and kindness when I completely had no idea what she was talking about sometimes :) She’s the best!

Georgia is an amazing tutor who always takes the time and effort to explain and analyse texts. Being tutored by her for the past 2 years in Advanced English, she has developed my English skills and supported me through my senior years. It is clear that Georgia is an extremely talented tutor and has a passion for English. I cannot thank her enough for everything that she has done, and would highly recommend her to any student that is looking for a tutor!

Georgia has been an amazing tutor throughout my whole HSC course. She has tutored me in both Modern History and English Advanced, aiding me in not only developing and refining my literacy skills but also supported me through providing excellent resources. Georgia always came with a positive and enthusiastic attitude which never failed to inspire me to work harder. I can not thank her enough for all of her hard work and time invested into me and would highly recommend her to any student seeking a well organized and punctual tutor.

Having completed the HSC in 2016, I was able to recieve a Band 6 (90) in English Advanced and an E4 in English Extension 1 (47). I really and truly wouldn't have achieved these marks without Georgia's love, dedication and wisdom. I was really struggling with English in year 11 and 12; was at the bottom of my class in Extension English and getting 70s and 80s throughout the year in advanced. When Georgia came along - well, what can I say! I am so grateful for her help.

Georgia is passionate, engaging and extremely knowledgeable. Her resources are fantastic, as is her ablity to explain complex concepts. I highly recommend English group tutoring as I was able to learn in a completly open and relaxed enviroment, with the added benefit of learning from my peers.

I never really had a passion for English but faced with the HSC I found having a tutor who knew all the ropes of gaining a Band 6 in English really helpful. I spent a fair bit of time with Georgia and she helped to push my basic knowledge of various modules to a higher level. Georgia is a lovely person and I'm grateful for her effort and genuine care during the time I spent with her.
