Passion, patience and perserverance: these are the three corner stones of my learning philosophy. I bring fun, humour and relatability to every session I run. I am a nut for context and helping students find what makes literature come alive. I have a PGCE in English and Drama, as well as a BA(Hons) Degree in English Literature and Creative Writing, both from excellent universities. I am experienced teaching in a grammar school, as well as an independent and a free school environment. I have taught English and Drama, and have a special ability to help students have lightbulb moments, and more importantly the joy in learning. I am experienced helping students gain confidence and creativity to access secondary, having worked with both 11+ and SATs students also. I guarantee that your child will love my lessons. I have been an examiner for AQA English Literature for 7 years, and I have formerly been an examiner for Edexcel English Language, so I have a cohesive understanding of the small differences between exam boards. I have taught all major exam boards as a teacher and tutor, including Cambridge IGCSE, AQA, CCEA, Edexcel, OCR. My lessons are characterised by their fun, their uniqueness and their creativity, with plenty of opportunities for collaboration, chances for students to share their own thoughts, and a willingness to listen and guide without a judgemental tone. I get the challenges of learning, and I am particularly experienced in helping students who struggle from anxiety and internalised pressure, having lived that existence myself! You won't find another tutor like me, I can guarantee it. Why not try and experience my lessons for yourself.

Kirsty
My name is Kirsty Anne Ledsham, and I am a passionate educator with over 20 years of teaching experience. Born in Stellenbosch, Cape Town, in 1982, I completed most of my schooling in Durban before matriculating in Johannesburg in 2000. After travelling abroad for a year, I returned to South Africa to study at the University of Johannesburg, where I earned a Bachelor of Education degree, majoring in Psychology and Education. My teaching career began at my former high school before I joined the African Leadership Academy, where I became involved in educational outreach programmes supporting underprivileged schools. I helped establish remedial literacy and numeracy programmes, contributed to fundraising initiatives for computer centres, and participated in community development projects in Muldersdrift. These experiences strengthened my belief that education has the power to transform lives and communities. From 2013 to 2021, I served as Head of the English and Art & Design Departments at Charter College International High School. I taught Cambridge IGCSE and AS Level English and Art while leading numerous extracurricular portfolios, including Public Speaking, the English Olympiad, fundraising, charity initiatives, school events, hockey, and the Matric Dance. I also managed the school's website and social media platforms. In December 2021, I joined Cambrilearn as Head of Languages before moving to my current position as an English teacher. Throughout my career, I have also taught CAPS English, Art and Culture, and Life Orientation, and I have been appointed Head of the English Department in my last three teaching positions. I believe learning should be engaging, meaningful, and enjoyable. My philosophy, "Learning through Laughter," reflects my commitment to creating classrooms where learners feel inspired, valued, and empowered to reach their full potential. I remain dedicated to lifelong learning, educational excellence, and making a positive difference.
