Steven from Scotland

Is fior thoil leam na leasanan Gaidhlig agam le Steaphan! 'S e tidsear air leth a th' ann! (I love my Gaelic lessons with Steven. He is an exceptional teacher. Do not hesitate if you want to learn to speak Gaelic. That's what I love about our lessons--he MAKES me speak by asking questions he knows I can somewhat understand and makes me push my limits.)

Steven provided a series of pictures for me to describe and encouraged me to practise using a variety of verbs in the past tense. It was a really useful lesson in trying to be more ambitious with verb choices and use different types of sentence for descriptions.

Nice teacher very adaptable who has clear educational goal for each lesson but is ready to make room to answer questions that are not part of the lesson and explain grammatiacal and/or custom issue behind each student's question. A very enjoyable learning experience

I am struggling to speak Gaelic, not just read and write it, and Steaphan tailors my classes to my needs. I am not good but he is very encouraging, which makes me feel good. I don't worry about opening my mouth and saying something stupid. Even when I do, he gently reminds me of where I should be going and makes me figure out how to correct myself, which is perfect for learning. I look forward to the lessons with Steaphan.

Steven provided a varied lesson, with some conversation, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation practice. Of particular value was that we spent some time working on a distinction between two similar sounds, which is the sort of thing you can really only get by having lessons with a native teacher.

Thank you for the great class today. I enjoyed so much.
