Who's Who at Westminster Tutors
Virginia Maguire read English at UCL, and worked as a lecturer in the English Department of a Thai university for five years. She gained distinction in her MLitt in English Studies from Strathclyde University and published various articles on sociolinguistics and aspects of Thai culture while overseas. Before joining Westminster Tutors Virginia worked as Director of Studies at David Game College. She is also the founder and director of Uniprep, which offers specialist preparation for applications to highly competitive universities and degree courses such as Medicine and Law.
Virginia's mother took her A levels at Westminster Tutors, and it is therefore a personal pleasure for Virginia to continue the College's long tradition of providing excellent teaching which enables students to achieve their academic goals.
