About Kirsty
Hello! I’m Kirsty, an educator and the founder of Happy Minds. I hold a Master’s degree in Education specialising in Psychology of Education, an Honours degree in Psychology, and a PGCE. My academic and professional background brings together psychology, education and neuroscience, with a particular focus on understanding how young people learn and develop within educational environments.
I believe that every learner is different, yet students are often expected to succeed without ever being taught how to learn. My approach is therefore practical, personalised and focused on equipping learners with skills they can use independently - not simply helping them get through their next test.
Whether we are working on study skills, academic goals, career decisions or navigating school challenges, I aim to create a supportive environment where students feel heard, encouraged and empowered.
My goal is simple: to help young people become confident, capable and independent learners - because when students understand their minds, they can begin to believe in themselves.

Learn how to study smarter, not simply harder! These personalised sessions use practical, evidence-informed strategies drawn from psychology and neuroscience to help learners understand how their brains learn best. We explore techniques for improving memory, focus, organisation, learning and study effectiveness, with strategies that can be applied across different subjects.
Sessions are interactive and tailored to each learner's needs, learning preferences and current challenges. Rather than simply providing answers or tutoring a particular subject, I teach students how to learn so that they can become more confident and independent learners.
Sessions are aimed at learners aged 8–18, from primary school through high school, and are conducted in English. Online lessons are available for learners internationally.
