In order to navigate my application you are presented with the Mainwindow on load up. There is a button that you can click that opens the TeacherTools window. From here you are able to add new students to the list. On this window I have a back button that will return you to the MainWindow and I can confirm that the information is still usable here. I'm having an issue whereby I open a 3rd window which is a Exam window in which students are presented with questions afterwards and their score should be added to the currently loaded Student visa his name.
private List<Student> studentList = new List<Student>();
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    TeacherTools teachTools = new TeacherTools();
    Learning myLearning = new Learning();
    private void teachAdmin_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        this.Hide();
        teachTools.ShowDialog();
        this.Show();
    }
    private void Selection_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        this.Hide();
        myTest.studentName.Text = studentsList.SelectedValue.ToString();
        myTest.ShowDialog();
        this.Show();
    }
}
//Exam Window
public partial class Test : Window
{
    //I'm sure its not this
    Student loadedStudent = new Student();
    TeacherTools teachTools = new TeacherTools();
    public void(private void finishTest()
    {
        loadedStudent = teachTools.Kids.Find(delegate(Student s) { return s.Name == studentName.Text; }); //This line 
        loadedStudent.Attempted = true;
        loadedStudent.Score = score;
    }
}
As such i'm getting a "Object reference not set to an instance of an object. - NullReferenceException". I'm not sure why this is happening because I can make modifications to a Student object from the MainWindow.
Edit: TeacherTools Class
public partial class TeacherTools : Window
{
    private List<Student> studentList = new List<Student>();
    public TeacherTools()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }
    public List<Student> Kids
    {
       get { return studentList; }
       //set { studentList = value; }
    }
    private void newStudentClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        Student student = new Student();
        student.Name = nameBox.Text;
        studentList.Add(student);
        studentData.ItemsSource = studentList;
        studentData.Items.Refresh();
        //nameBox
    }
}
