Hola, I'm Georgina
I am the founder of Romance Language Centre.
I have always been fascinated by the notion of language as ‘a mirror of mind’, as described by one of my favourite linguists, Noam Chomsky. One could argue it reflects my love of psychology and everything human. Education was my light at the end of a long tunnel, as education and illumination have been semantically connected since the dawn of human thoughts.
I discovered my natural affinity for languages as early as 14. During my 10 year-long career, I have studied and taught many languages – Latin, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, Dutch, etc. My desire to inspire a lifelong love of languages and knowledge in people was born in the first years of my undergraduate studies where I excelled. As a Romance languages graduate, I specialized in Spanish and Portuguese, and my fascination with Spanish culture and language only grew from there. In a rather silly way, I found that Spanish and I were kindred spirits in expressiveness and passion. That passion for my work eventually led me to become one of the best students of my generation and offered me an opportunity to work as an assistant lecturer of three years.
In a decade of teaching languages to people of all ages, ambitions and abilities, I have come to believe that the best way to teach is through taught-provoking delivery, through individual approach that supports people’s natural inquisitiveness, and through positive reinforcement. Moreover, I’ve always been defined by my strong work ethic and principles. I set high standards for myself, and for all my students because I believe in your ability to succeed.

Both my partner and I are enjoying our online Spanish course with Georgina as she is very patient, always well-prepared and thoughtful. I always feel challenged but not overwhelmed. Georgina's dedication to her students as well as her passion for languages and teaching are both beyond words. Her classes are clear and concise with a touch of entertainment. I love that she always includes "Who wants to know more?" fun facts. I also appreciate her flexibility when change is needed because I tend to work long hours at times.

Besides possessing a well of knowledge and experience, Georgina is a very skilled, natural educator. She is spontaneous and quick to find simple ways to explain a complex topic or to work with me through any setbacks. I love her technique of "trigger points", it always helps me recall information easily. I feel safe to make mistakes in her class because she treats them as a learning opportunity. Thanks to her, I worked my way up to DELE C1 over the years.

My family and I have been learning Spanish with Georgina for years, and she has become one of my favorite teachers. She is always patient with me and kind. When I started learning, I wasn't very interested but her way of teaching (through culture, fun facts, movies, history...) has made learning exciting for me. I can safely say that she has made me fall in love with Spanish!
