About
I have an honours degree in Mathematics. I have previously worked in a local high school as a Support for Learning Assistant and am used to working with pupils of all abilities. I am enthusiastic, motivated and patient.
I aim to deliver friendly and relaxed tutoring sessions that are geared towards each individual student's needs. Initially, I will assess the students current understanding of the subject and then tailor further lessons to suit the needs of that pupil.
Based in Scotland, I have tutored youngsters for National 5, National 5 Applications of Maths, Higher, Higher Apps and Advanced Higher exams as well as secondary BGE levels. I also have experience of tutoring 1st year University maths. I have been tutoring for 20 years. My online sessions are carried out using Zoom and I also have some spaces for in person tutoring if you're happy to travel to me.

Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Kirsteen F.'s First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.
How we verify these
Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:
- Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
- Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.
The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

Kirsteen was very approachable and fast to respond when I contacted her to discuss my daughter math’s lessons and areas when my girl needs more support. We are looking forward to work with Kirsteen
Kirsteen F. replied
Thanks Wioleta, I'm looking forward to meeting you both after the summer

Kirsteen is an extremely experienced teacher who likes to find out about her student’s abilities, concerns and challenges. She has been successful in adding confidence to our daughters’ maths progress, whilst working through the set curriculum, encouraging throughout. I highly recommend Kirsteen, particularly for those with a historical need for support for learning. If only all classes were this easy.

Kirsteen has been great at understanding my duaughters needs for Advanced Higher Maths and is working in a structured way to help her understand the individual parts to help build her confidence and proficiency up. She has a great manner and structured aproach to each session. I would strongly recommend Kirsteen for all levels of maths tuition.

Kirsteen is an excellent maths tutor. My daughter felt at ease around her and enjoyed her tutoring. My daughter found she improved with her maths after having had Kirsteen for only a few weeks. Kirsteen was always punctual. Will definately ask Kirsteen back to help with any problems when my daughter is about to write her higher maths exams.

Kirsteen is always punctual and explains everything clearly. On several occasions she has stayed over the hour to make sure I was grasping something. I feel I have really benefitted from having her as my tutor and I would highly recommend her.

Kirsteen has been tutoring my daughter for about 6 weeks now. We are very pleased with her, she is very pleasant and my daughter feels very much at ease with her and feels she is very good at explaining things and is very patient. My daughter feels very comfortable in asking questions and feels she is progressing well and coped alot better with a recent NAB exam she had at school. We would highly recommend Kirsteen to others.
