Hi, I’m Kirsty and I live in Nottingham, England (UK).

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 will be available Saturday- Wednesday from 10th April 2023, 8am-4:30pm (GMT). Take a look at my schedule for full availability and get in touch as I may be able to accommodate you if you need a different time. I will be online full-time from August 2023.

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.

If you are an adult, we will have engaging conversations based on your personal interests, hold meaningful discussions based on attaining your life goals, as well as keeping things light-hearted to maintain interest and motivation.

If you are a young learner, we will have diverse and engaging lessons in which we play talk, play games, use props (such as teddies, learning materials e.g. alphabet mats, globes etc), share video clips, articles, read stories and much, much more…!

If there is something specific you require, I can plan it for you and we can do a sequence of progressive lessons to ensure full understanding and improvement in key areas so that you feel comfortable, as well as achieve next steps in your learning.

I offer general English, Business English and conversational English classes. I am able to support you in your job applications or exam preparation whilst monitoring and guiding your grammatical structure, technical vocabulary and English pronunciation and fluency.

I tailor lessons to suit you. Whether you want more formal lessons with structured learning units, informal discussions, or a combination of the two, I can teach based on your personal preferences.

I believe that learning English should be ultimately enjoyable, so whether you are a beginner or a student looking to be fluent in English, there is always a way to achieve that in a fun and dynamic way.

I look forward to creating fun and personalised lessons for you. Your first lesson is FREE so get in touch to find out more now!
