Private Tutor in Edinburgh
My Summary
About Me
Hi, I’m Kirsty! I’m a passionate and supportive fully qualified primary teacher with a love for helping children build confidence and enjoy learning. I specialise in tutoring English and Maths. I believe every child learns differently, so I tailor my approach to suit each individual, whether that’s chunking activities, using games and visuals, or approaching topics in alternative ways. My goal is always to create a positive, encouraging environment where learners feel comfortable to ask questions, make mistakes and grow.
My Experience
I have experience working with primary-aged learners across a range of subjects within the Curriculum for Excellence’s Broad General Education phase (Primary 1 - S3). I’ve supported learners with building foundational skills, improving confidence, and preparing for assessments. My masters degree in Transformative Learning and Teaching allows me to embed principles of social justice and sustainability into my teaching, using a transformative approach which encourages learners to think critically about the world around them. This helps create an inclusive environment where all learners feel seen and valued. My experience includes planning and delivering structured lessons, adapting resources for different learning stages and supporting individuals with varying learning needs.
