Hi Ruth,
your instructor would probably be the best person to speak to as he/she will know you ability better than i do, but i would recommend a delta kite such as a Best Kahoona around the 9.5m size, along with a Best Spark board around the 140 size.
The Kahoona kite has plenty of depower, almost automatic relaunch, handles gust well and has plenty of low down power. You will also need to get the Best Redline Performance Bar to go with the kite.

The Spark board is a great board (i have one) and is relatively cheap compared to other boards.

If you are buying all at once i am sure you can get a great discount, if you are in the UK let me know i can point you in the right direction.
Welcome to the fantastic sport of kitesurfing
