About Me

My name is Kirstie and I run ‘Raising Adults’. I am a tutor and childcare provider. I work in my mobile classroom delivering fun, engaging lessons and providing educational trips.

I am passionate about helping your child become a curious, lifelong, independent learner.

I want your child to have the knowledge, skills and understanding to lead their best life.

It’s about more that just teaching literacy and numeracy skills.

It’s about building their interest in learning, confidence in their own personality and a growth mindset to deal with life’s challenges.

“Kirstie has an ability to see each child as an individual and tailor her approach accordingly in order to bring out their true potential” Suzy. Redhill Surrey.

My Experience

I have been working in childcare and education for the past 25 years. I am a qualified Ofsted registered childminder, an experienced primary school teacher, and hold a 4 year education degree from Oxford.

I have experience supporting children with ASD from birth to Year 6.

I am a mother to two teenage children and part of a larger family with my partner and his two children.

I own a mobile classroom which I am able to drive to your house and tutor from.

I am also able to take children on educational walks and trips as I am an Ofsted registered childminder.

I cover all areas of the primary curriculum and specialise in developing confidence and a growth mindset in my students.

“Kirstie’s energy, enthusiasm and professionalism is baffling and awe-inspiring. How she keeps it up, I can only imagine comes through her utter love for what she is doing.” C.A. Redhill Surrey

Good
25 September 2018
Children benefit from a warm and friendly learning environment with easily accessible resources. The childminder works well with an assistant, keeping up to date with current guidelines. Strong attachments are formed, and individual needs are met effectively. Teaching quality is good, with a focus on extending vocabulary and understanding. Improvements could be made in enhancing opportunities for younger children's early writing skills and exploring print outdoors.
