Certified TEFL tutor with 12 years’ experience in Primary Teaching

Hi, I’m Kirsty!

I'm a native English speaker but I’ve got a passion for teaching and travelling, so the fact that I can combine the two of these makes it a perfect combination; I’m able to teach whilst reaching out to people from all over the world, which I find fascinating. I love to learn more about others whilst helping them achieve their life-long goals.


I currently work full-time as a Primary School Teacher during the week and tutor online Saturday and Sunday mornings. I am going to be tutoring full time in the near future.


I have a Primary Teaching Degree (also known as a PGCE), a degree in Studies in Primary Education (BA Hons), as well as a TEFL certification.


I have been teaching for 8 years and I have taught Primary aged children (aged 5-11 years old). I have also been a Teaching Assistant for 3 years, which means I have 11 years of experience working with children, and I now also teach TEFL online to children, young learners and adults.


I have taught in multi-cultural communities in England and I’m currently teaching in a school that has 90% EAL, which means almost all of the children attending this school speak English as an Additional Language.


This has taught me many skills such as patience, understanding, and how to teach in a range of ways to ensure I’m understood. My experience is perfect for teaching English online as I understand the process of teaching another language and the difficulties you may have and how to overcome them. I start with determining your English level by doing baseline assessments and discovering your areas for development. I then develop a specific plan with you based on how much time and effort you can give to your learning journey.

I tailor my plans to suit your needs whilst making it fun and interactive to ensure you're motivated to learn as well as making good progress in your learning journey. My classes are very personalised and activity-based to keep you engaged, motivated and always improving.

I look forward to creating fun and personalised lessons for you. Please get in touch to find out more now!
