About Kirsten
Hi, I'm Kirsten! I recently graduated from the University of Cambridge in Natural Sciences, specialising in Biochemistry. I am friendly and approachable and encourage my students to explain their understanding of concepts to me in class to identify loopholes in understanding and ask questions, as this stimulates active learning.

I can help students of all ages at any stage with science/maths, by explaining existing difficult concepts that have already been covered at school, or helping them cover material ahead of the syllabus so they have a comfortable amount of time for revision at the end of the year. I love drawing diagrams and believe they are very useful for memory/demonstrating understanding, and will heavily incorporate them into explanations. Having attained the highest scores across 8 GCSEs nationally, and 4 A* at A-levels (Chemistry, Physics, Maths/Further Maths), I am very much familiar with the examination format and can compile sets of past paper questions tailored to the student's weaknesses or a specific topic (e.g. a topic that we have just gone through the conceptual basis for). I can also point out where the 'tricks' in tougher past year paper questions are if there isn't enough time to work through each of them together, so that students get the most out of their time. Being very passionate about biochemistry/molecular biology and having very much enjoyed learning throughout different stages of education, I really hope to share this enthusiasm with my students and cultivate their interest and curiosity in the sciences too. I am also familiar with NSAA (Cambridge Natural Sciences Admissions Assessment) and university personal statement preparation, having been through it myself just not too long ago. Please feel free to contact me for a free trial lesson so we can have a proper chat about the type of content you'd like to cover/ lesson style etc- I am very flexible and open to hearing about what you'd like to get from lessons, and I'd like to get a better idea of what kind of student you are too!

I've been taking A level biology lessons with Kirsten for a while now- she's very prepared for lessons and tailors them to what I need help with that particular week. Lessons usually feel more like a conversation, and she asks lots of questions to stretch my thinking beyond what I already know. It's also personally been very helpful doing exam practice together, as I struggle more with exam techniques than memorising content.
I started having lessons in chemistry to help me with my GCSEs around 6 weeks ago. Since then, I have already seen an improvement in my last chemistry test and feel that I have a much better understanding. Kirsten is able to explain to me why the rules that I am taught in school actually work, and where they come from. I have much better fundamental understanding of chemistry and therefore, with better foundations, it is easier to learn new content. I would strongly recommend Kirsten for other chemistry students who are struggling to understand and remember all the rules that we are taught in school
Kirsten has been tutoring me for 2 months and I have already seen improvement in my chemistry tests in school. She explains things carefully and takes time to ensure I have a complete understanding of why the rules that I am taught to use actually work. I have a much more complete understanding of GCSE chemistry thanks to Kirsten and this has helped me to learn new content more easily with better foundations in place. I look forward to continuing to study with her.
I have been working with Kirsten for a few months and I couldn't have asked for a better tutor!
She is easy to talk to and is genuinely interested in resolving any issue I've had, be it big or small.
The Sciences had never been a strong suit of mine, but Kirsten has been extremely supportive by both delivering the subject content in a digestible way, but also with exam technique and study tips, which has helped me help myself!
I can tell I've improved the effectiveness of studying outside of lessons, but more importantly I feel more confident and interested in my A level subjects at school.
Through Kirsten's holistic approach to teaching, I've realised that excelling in learning is a multifactorial endeavour and have therefore taken steps to tackle it accordingly.
I look forward to continuing working with her.See more recommendations
