Personal Description: I am 35 years old, have just completed a BA Honours degree at Stirling University and have experience and knowledge of Education. I am equipped to cover all stages of the Scottish curriculum and have prepared units of work to hand for both English and History.

Tutoring Experience: I studied for the diploma in education alongside my degree, attaining all the necessary component units, as well as 3 months classroom teaching experience. I have been tutoring periodically for several years in a variety of subjects.

Tutoring Approach: I like to get to know my students in order that I can tailor our sessions to their particular needs. I respect my students and like them to feel at ease with me so make myself as approachable as I can. I offer continuous formative assessment and work with my student to develop their full potential. I expect my students to communicate openly with me and welcome their thoughts on how our sessions might be developed and tailored to further suit their individual needs. I encourage my students to take an active role and often agree to use texts they suggest as a basis for study.

From Suzanne Armstrong (5/5): I have found Kim to be an excellent tutor to Rebecca and I could not commend her work more highly.All lessons are individually tailored to specific needs and the result is much improved confidence and an improvement of 2 grades in credit standard grade work at school.
