Kristy Ann L.

Hello! I’m Teacher Nest, and with over two years of experience teaching English as a second language, I’m passionate about fostering a love for learning. My teaching philosophy emphasizes critical thinking and creativity through engaging projects and collaborative activities. I create an inclusive, welcoming classroom where every student feels valued and confident. My specialties are speaking classes, meaning I encourage the students to express themselves more in a non-restrictive environment to hone their fluency in English speaking that would be very useful in either their educational goals and or other endeavors outside of a classroom setting (e.g. travelling abroad, work meetings, meeting new people from diverse backgrounds, and etc...) Outside the classroom, I enjoy reading Shakespeare and participating in law debates, which enriches my lessons with real-world insights. My goal is to inspire students to think critically, express themselves confidently, and become lifelong learners and engaged global citizens. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (Financial Management) and Certifications as a Professional Paralegal and in Microsoft IC3. With an experience in teaching English to diverse students, I’ve developed custom curricula, integrated technology, and applied differentiated instruction to meet individual needs. I’m also active in my School of Law Debate Team, which has enhanced my approach to student engagement and development. Through ongoing professional development and collaboration, I’m committed to fostering a positive, inclusive learning environment. My background in business, law, and education equips me to offer a well-rounded teaching approach that prepares students for success beyond the classroom.

My main hobbies are archery, reading comic books, swimming and gymnastics. I have completed my Bronze and Gold Duke of Edinburgh awards, giving me a great love of hiking and travelling. At University I have undertaken multiple research placements which have allowed me to gain a lot of experience and knowledge in undertaking research. I really enjoy Psychology and Neuroscience so more than happy to talk about any areas that students are interested in.

I absolutely love mathematics and teaching/helping people but, ultimately, my passion is dance. On top of my maths degree, I am training to be a professional commercial dancer. I love dance, drama, drawing, painting - anything creative! I like to be creative when teaching as I think learning should be a fun, exciting and enjoyable experience. I have 9 GCSEs and 3 A Levels in Mathematics (A*), Physics (A) and Chemistry (A). I have just completed three years doing Mathematics at the University of Manchester and have decided to stay on for another year in order to get a Master's degree in maths!

GCSE: Chemistry & Maths Exam Board Experience: AQA Preferred Student Age Group: GCSE or KS3 About Me: A graduate Medical Biochemistry student at the University of Manchester and a current Cancer Molecular Pathology and Therapeutics student at the University of Leicester. I am passionate about helping my peers as well as others to succeed in areas they are struggling in. I have been a regular tutor for GoStudent since 2021. I have had experience in teaching a class of around 25 students mental maths skills in secondary school. Furthermore, in college I was chosen to be a student mentor for first year chemistry students when I was in my second year where I was their first point of contact when they were struggling to understand a concept that they had learnt in class.
