Information about Kirsten

I still get such a buzz when I teach/tutor and I hope that never leaves me. With this passion I not only want to impart a love, enjoyment and knowledge of the subjects I will teach but I also want to bring variety, interest and fun to my lessons. I have very high standards for my students and in addition do not only want to just impart subject knowledge to my pupils so that they meet or exceed their target levels and expectations but would also like to equip them with other life skills (e.g. building up their confidence, motivation, pride in their work, determination, sacrifice for their goals and achievements), all leading to them growing as individuals and thus hopefully being a tutor that makes a difference in their lives and supports and encourages them to become better people and pupils. I also know with my passion and love for teaching that I can make a difference in getting them excited about my subjects.

I would otherwise describe myself as a friendly, energetic people’s person, who is enthusiastic and always willing and keen to try and learn new things. Extremely neat, hardworking, organised, honest, reliable, creative, sporty and active! In addition, my main hobbies are singing in a band and photography. My other main interests include travel, socialising and lots of different sports from triathlete, rhythmic gymnast, ballet and modern dancer to athletics, gym, cross-country, taebo, and swimming. I have grown up with a love and passion for nature (plants and animals), the subject of Biology and sports.

Kirsten has been tutoring me for over a month now and already i have noticed a vast improvement in my understanding of the topics and exam questions, but most importantly my confidence. Kirsten is great with taking initial information and breaking it down into a simple form making things a million times easier to retain! I`m much happier revising now and find applying my own knowledge to a subject much easier. Most of all I enjoy Kirsten tutoring me and have no doubt others will too.

Kirsten is alway on time and my brother and I agree that she makes biology simple to understand and enjoyable to study. An excellent tutor we would recommend her to anybody looking for somebody to help them with either a level or GCSE biology.

Kirsten is a wonderful tutor. She has been home tutoring my daughter for the past few months. She is very enthusiastic and has made the lessons fun but has also managed to get through a very large volume of work in a short space of time. I would highly recommend her.
