Download the Annual Business Planner

There's a lot to be said for winging it. 

But there ought to be some sort of plan to make sure you're not going round in circles. 

As a scientist, of course I love a spreadsheet. So my business planning always happens in spreadsheet form.

We start with a business mission, and then financial goals, before getting a good understanding of the time available.

This will be the frame on which you build your big ideas, and then if you like a bit of danger, you can wing it from there 😜

Since founding Green Tutors in 2012, Georgina has been committed to supporting students in their STEM studies and career choices. Her team, composed of scientists, engineers, and programmers, has been instrumental in this mission. In 2023, she published "Turn GCSE Stress into Exam Success," a planner designed to support students through their exams with a focus on wellbeing, time management, goal setting, organization, and effective revision techniques.

In addition to tutoring, Georgina has been actively involved in coaching teachers and tutors to transition to online teaching and grow their online businesses through her free Facebook group, one-on-one mentoring, and group coaching sessions since March 2020. She was also a community Science Lead for Qualified Tutor, hosted Love Tutoring Festival 3, and established the Qualified Tutor Connect membership and local Love Tutoring events in Hertfordshire with Rysia Connolly.

Georgina served as the Essex and East of England Community Hub leader for The Tutors' Association, organising networking events for TTA members.
