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.

Kirsty is an absolutely amazing tutor! She is incredibly kind, patient and supportive, and has helped me so much with my Psychology studies. She explains things clearly and makes learning so much easier. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a tutor. Thank you for all your help and encouragement!
Hello, my name is Marianne, and Kirsty has been offering sessions to my two teenage children.
As a parent, you want to give your children the very best opportunities in life. The support our children received from Kirsty at Superprof has played a significant role in making that possible. Thanks to her coaching, they are exceptionally well prepared for the academic demands of both the Gymnasium and VWO programs. These are the most difficult curriculums in the Netherlands.
What particularly appealed to us was that the guidance was not solely focused on improving grades, but rather on developing the fundamental skills required for effective learning. Our children learned how to process information, plan, analyze, and retain knowledge. These are skills that are not only invaluable at school, but can also be applied throughout their future studies and professional careers.
In addition, we learned that not every subject can be studied in the same way. Mathematics requires a different approach than languages, history demands different study techniques than physics, and this is exactly where Superprof made the difference. Kirsty helped our children understand which learning strategies work best for each individual subject. As a result, they not only gained more knowledge, but also developed the ability to tackle new challenges independently and effectively.
The result is that our children now learn with far greater confidence, structure, and motivation. They have acquired a comprehensive toolbox of study skills that not only supports their current schoolwork but will benefit them throughout their lives.
We would recommend Kirsty from Superprof without the slightest hesitation to any parent who wants their child not only to achieve better academic results, but also to develop the skills needed to learn successfully and independently. It is an investment that pays for itself time and time again.View more recommendations
