Hi I'm Kirsten!!

I'm a qualified maths teacher and examiner with over 15 years experience and I'm passionate about helping girls unlock their full potential in maths

In addition to my track record of getting students excellent results, I am extremely approachable and patient and I believe that building relationships is at the core of students improving their results.

I offer Foundation GCSE, Higher GCSE and A level courses, as well as bespoke individual tuition. I have a particularl expertise in helping girls gain confidence and thrive in Maths and many of my students have gone on to achieve highly and pursue STEM subjects post-16.

Why all girls?

Over the years as a teacher, I’ve witnessed first hand so many girls struggling with confidence in their mathematical abilities, despite being more than capable. This is often due to long-standing stereotypes that suggest the subject is better suited to boys.

This false narrative, combined with lower encouragement and fewer visible role models, can lead girls to underestimate their own abilities—despite performing just as well as their male counterparts. While society is gradually shifting away from the outdated belief that “girls can’t do maths,” there is still significant progress to be made..

Our all-girls maths sessions are designed to provide a safe and supportive environment that fosters both confidence and community. In these sessions, students are encouraged to ask questions, take risks, and learn from mistakes—without fear of judgment. Surrounded by like-minded peers, our girls begin to believe in themselves, challenge stereotypes, and discover that they are more than capable of excelling in maths.

We create an environment where girls feel seen, valued, and capable of achieving their full potential in maths. By removing societal pressures and focusing on support and community, they can explore and excel in the subject without the barriers that often exist in more traditional settings

Girls are more likely to speak up, ask questions, and take risks in a space free from gender-based comparison or judgment.

INCREASED CONFIDENCE

Learning alongside like-minded peers fosters a sense of community, encouragement, and mutual motivation.

STRONGER PEER SUPPORT

ENCOURAGEMENT AND EMPOWERMENT

COLLABORATION OVER COMPETITION

We all actively encourage each other. With the aim being to break down any barriers that may exist due to stereotypes about women in STEM fields, helping students to feel empowered and capable.

Rather than a competitive atmosphere, these sessions emphasize collaboration. Girls work together, sharing ideas and problem-solving strategies, and supporting each other through challenges. This fosters a sense of community, where students feel like they’re in it together.

Mistakes are seen as a natural part of the learning process, and the focus is on learning from them. This mindset helps to reduce anxiety about getting things wrong and encourages risk-taking and perseverance. The focus is on effort, improvement, and progress, not perfection.

GROWTH MINDSET

Students are regularly acknowledged for their hard work and progress, reinforcing the idea that their efforts are valuable. Praise is specific, acknowledging the thought process behind problem-solving rather than just the correct answers.
