PhD in Mathematics, specializing in Mathematical Statistics (University of Bucharest, 2008).
Currently Mathematics teacher at IOANID International School, with over 20 years of teaching experience
at Bucharest's most well-known international schools.
Preparing students for international exams — A-Level, IGCSE, SAT, GMAT — has been a constant of her career
since the late 2000s. In parallel, she has taught university courses and seminars at the Faculty of Mathematics
and Computer Science (University of Bucharest) and has 8 published papers (3 ISI-indexed) in mathematical statistics.

Student feedback
What students say
The most dedicated, kind and open math teacher. Miss Georgiana always encourages us
to be productive, to think logically, quickly, but also correctly! Math becomes much simpler
after Miss G explains it.
P.S. She's an expert at memes and always has candy on the table!
