Kirsty Campbell Tuition

🌟 Introducing the Benefits of Online Tuition! 🌟

As a private tutor, it is my pleasure to shed light on the remarkable advantages that online tuition brings to your child's educational journey. 📚💡

In today's ever-evolving digital age, the emergence of online tuition has revolutionised the way we approach learning. 💻✨ With advanced technology at our fingertips, we now have the incredible opportunity to harness its power and provide unparalleled educational support to our young learners, without the constraints of geographic limitations. 🌍🌐

First and foremost, online tuition offers unparalleled convenience and flexibility. 🕓⚙️ No longer confined to physical classrooms, your child can engage in structured lessons from the comfort of their own home, at a time that suits their unique schedule. This flexibility allows them to strike a balance between academics and other commitments, fostering a sense of independence and responsibility. 📅📚

Furthermore, online tuition provides a personalised learning experience tailored to the individual needs and learning styles of your child. Through the use of interactive tools, virtual whiteboards, and multimedia resources, we can create an engaging and immersive environment that maximises their understanding and enhances their educational journey. 🖥️

In addition, online tuition also eliminates the challenges of traveling to physical tuition centres, ensuring safety, and reducing the stress associated with commuting. It also opens up a world of possibilities by connecting your child with tutors and classmates from diverse backgrounds and cultures, fostering a global perspective and promoting cross-cultural understanding. 🌎🌍🌏

Most importantly, rest assured that online tuition maintains the same level of professionalism, dedication, and expertise that you would expect from traditional face-to-face tuition. Through virtual platforms, we are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and secure environment that promotes learning, growth, and academic excellence. 🤝📚

So, let's embrace the exciting realm of online tuition and embark on a transformative educational journey for your child. Together, let's unlock their full potential and shape a future filled with knowledge, resilience, and success! 💫✨

For more information and to discuss further, please feel free to get in touch via direct message or email. 📩📲 Let's empower your child's education and embark on a new chapter of learning, right at your fingertips! 🌟📚

✨MEET ME✨

Hi everyone! We’ve had lots of new students recently and so I felt it was time to introduce myself again. I'm Kirsty, the Director of Kirsty Campbell Tuition. I am a 25 year old, Edinburgh native who had the joys of graduating from the University of Edinburgh in the midst of the pandemic in 2020.

Facts about me:

🐶 I have an (almost) 6 year old Serbian rescue dog called Beba - dog in comments!!
📍 I grew up in Edinburgh and went to the Royal High School
🍝 If I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life it would be spaghetti bolognese
🏠 I am the middle child - I have two brothers
💫 I’m an Aries - March baby♈️
🤠 I’m a country music fan - don’t knock it till you try it
🧸 My first job was working a Build-A-Bear which, hilariously, it turns out I ran a birthday party for someone I now tutor!!

I started my tutoring career 8 years ago and it has been incredible to see how much my students have grown since then. What started out as a solo company quickly blossomed into a larger team and as a company we currently provide tuition to students across Scotland.

I am incredibly proud to own this business and as we move forward I aim to make tuition as accessible as possible to allow all children across Scotland the opportunity to get the support they need during their time at school.

I am incredibly proud of each and every one of my team and I am looking forward to seeing the business grow further in the coming years.

Today in History: The Reichstag Fire

On February 27th, 1933, four weeks after Adolf Hi**er was sworn in as Chancellor of Germany, the German parliament (Reichstag) burned down in a fire. The N**i leadership used the fire to imply that Communists were planning a violent uprising and that emergency legislation was needed to prevent it. What is known as the Reichstag Fire Decree came to be which abolished numerous constitutional rights and paved the way for the N**i Dictatorship.

Key facts:

- The decree became legal one day after the fire and stopped the right to assembly, press and freedom of speech
- It allowed the regime to arrest any political opponents (for no reason at all) and to dissolve political organisations
- It also gave the regime the right to overrule state and local laws and overthrow state and local governments

📚WORLD BOOK DAY📚

World Book Day 2023 is almost here and they are running a fun "Design a Book Token" competition! For full details, follow this link: https://www.worldbookday.com/competition/design-a-nbt/

We cannot stress how important it is to expose yourself to many different forms of literature and to give all genres a try. Reading books in primary and early secondary helps children massively when they get to exam stage. It keeps your imagination alive too which helps with essay and story writing.

As a child, I was an avid reader (I still am!) and books like the BFG, The Magic Faraway Tree and Animal Ark where among my favourites! Also, all girls my age will definitely remember Rainbow Magic books - Amy the Amethyst fairy anyone? I used to love that the main character was called Kirsty🤣

💘VALENTINES DAY💘

Valentine's Day is celebrated every February 14th as couples across the globe celebrate love. But, did you know what we do today is a result of hundreds of years of traditions?

Origins🥰

The earliest origin story of Valentine's Day dates back to the 6th century BC with the festival of Lupercalia. Men would sacrifice goats and dogs and go around town slapping women with blood as a blessing! Not sure that would go down too well in this day and age! If you haven't got your sweetheart a present yet - DON'T DO THIS!

Cupid👼

Cupid started out as the Greek god, Eros (the God of Love). Eros, the son of Aphrodite, had two sets of arrows - for love and hate - and would use them to play with the emotions of his targets. The stories of his mischief were told by the Romans which led to his child-like look!

First Valentine💌

History's first Valentine was written from a prison - how romantic! Charles, Duke of Orleans, sent a Valentine to his wife at the age of 21 while he was a prisoner after being captured at the Battle of Agincourt. Unfortunately, he would never see his wife again as he remained a prisoner for more than 20 years.

Victorian 'Vinegar Letters'🫣

During the Victorian Era, if you didn't want someone's attention you would send them a vinegar letter instead. It was a way to insult and reject anyone you didn't like.

Chocolates🍫

As big supermarkets fill their shelves with boxes of chocolates this Valentine's Day, the original idea stems from Richard Cadbury in the 19th century. After creating different varieties of chocolate, he released them in a box to celebrate the day of love.

Did you know? We offer support for students working through their Advanced Higher Dissertations!

I (Kirsty) have a degree in History from the University of Edinburgh and have sat the Advanced Higher exam (back in 2016!). I offer support to children needing an extra pair of eyes to look over their dissertation - especially checking those pesky footnotes!

During the February break and over weekends I am available to offer one-off or multiple sessions to pupils who feel they could benefit from this service.

Weekly Newsletter👩‍🏫

Demand is crazy at the moment and we are in another hiring process to keep up with you all! I'm incredibly grateful for all of you and will have everyone set up ASAP☺️

This week's topic is International Day of Women and Girls in Science🧪

International Day of Women and Girls in Science is an important reminder of the accomplishments of women and girls in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) careers.

This day is an opportunity to promote full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls and to encourage equality in the STEM fields.

Some famous women in STEM:

Fei Fei Li

Fei Fei Li is a professor of computer science at Stanford University, California. She invented a special computer program called ImagineNet that helps computers recognise images and made huge changes in artificial intelligence.

Donna Strickland

Donna Strickland works at the University of Waterloo in Canada and was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 2018. She won the prize for one of her inventions that uses special high-powered lasers. Her work with lasers has helped create tools that can help with many things, including laser eye surgery.

Cohl Furey

Cohl Furey works at Cambridge University and is known for her work on octonions. This is a complicated number system that has helped with understanding black holes and how the world around us is made.

Alice Ball

Alice Ball was an African-American chemist who pioneered the "Ball Method" which went on to become the most effective treatment for Hansen’s disease (leprosy) during the early 20th century.

⚠️Important reminders:

🤓: February break revision classes from the 13th-16th February
📚: S1/2 Book Club - join our bookclub to encourage monthly reading and boost analysis skills!

FEBRUARY REVISION CLASSES

Join us during the February break with our 4-day programme. Students will work with me (Kirsty) everyday from the 13th-16th of February. Two N5 classes are available: Maths and English.

Maths: We will work through the curriculum practicing exam and revision skills while also consolidating our knowledge of the N5 course.

English: A mix of RUAE, Scottish Set Text and Essay practice. Although students have different texts for Set Text and Essays we will look at how to structure our answers - in particular the 8 mark question and general essay plans.

Email [email protected] to book your place💻

Higher classes will be released shortly.

Our first weekly newsletter!

Every week I will release a new newsletter containing important information, updates and our weekly topic.

Children's Mental Health Week will be taking place from February 6th-12th. Children's Mental Health Week is an annual event dedicated to raising awareness about children and young people's mental health. This important event is a brilliant opportunity to open a discussion about mental health and wellbeing with children and young people.

The children's mental health charity, Place2Be, set up Children's Mental Health Week to highlight the importance of mental health for children and young people. We all have mental health and the majority of people will experience some form of mental health issue throughout their lives. In fact, up to 1 in 4 of us will experience mental health problems at some point in our lifetime.

During Children's Mental Health Week 2023, we can take some time to focus on mental health and talk about these important topics. We can encourage children to think about how they can best look after their own mental health and encourage parents, carers and teachers to reflect on their role in supporting children with their mental health.

We need book donations!📚

A wonderful charity, Books for Kids, are looking for children’s book donations. I am going to collect books and drop them off to our local drop off point!

A school only have 2 books in their library and we are hoping to change that📖

They accept all types of books and comics but they don't take books in poor condition, annuals or Guinness Book of Record annual style publications older than a year.

Books can look as if they have been read and can have 1 or 2 pages turned down, but please, no books that have been drawn or scribbled on, or books with missing pages.

If anyone has books to donate email [email protected] and we’ll arrange collection!

Upcoming Events🥳

On top of our Saturday Bootcamp classes we will be running a few revision sessions in the next few months.

Feb 13th-17th: A week of revision classes covering a variety of subjects for National 5 and Higher pupils.

Some study tips to get you started on your revision🤓

Exams may seem so far away but revision should be done every week! Starting now will give you the best chance in your exams and can help in all upcoming class assessments. We work with lots of you once a week but this is not enough! Make sure you go away and revise quotes and exam style questions to test your knowledge. Doing a little bit everyday will stop you feeling so overwhelmed when it comes to the exam period!

Don't forget, we've been where you are now and know exactly how it feels. We've made the mistakes so you don't have to! Stick with it and give your exams all you have got - summer will be here before you know it☀️

The maximum class size will be 10 and will cost £15 per person. The class will be run by me (Kirsty) and will come with weekly homework to consolidate learning📚

Spaces can be booked by emailing [email protected]✅

Happy Monday!

Due to high demand we have to close for all new enquiries for a week. We will re-open spaces again next week once we have everyone set up.
