I am not a particularly flexible person; but I'm keen to improve to help with all aspects of training.
Any tips for me?

All weight is underside
It takes time and a good program to which you are dedicated.
Regular exercise and weight control helps greatly.
Lastly, success in stretching is measured in small amounts. Keep at it!

Check out gingerninjatrickster on YouTube. He has 2 stretching tutorials that are working for me atm! 
1) Warm up before stretching. (Despite what many people seem to think, stretching is not a warm-up. Warming-up is something you do first.)
2) Never force the stretch to the point where it feels painful. Take the stretch to the point where you feel some tension and resistance, then hang out, breathe, and relax until the resistance dissolves and you can go deeper.
3) You should feel the stretch in the belly of the muscle, not in your joints.
4) Stretch consistently throughout the week, not just on days when you have class.
