Hi! My name is Seosamh. I'm an Irish language teacher originally from Belfast, Ireland and now living in New York City. Educated through Irish language medium education from the age of 3 years old. I'm also an actor, model and creative ambassador for a non-profit. A professional Irish language teacher in NYC with the Irish Arts Center (Manhattan), New York Irish Center (Queens) and privately.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I am a passionate instructor who loves to teach the language/culture in a fun contemporary way using media, music and memes. I'm highly skilled and experienced in Irish from teaching at top centres in the US including the Irish Arts Center and NY Irish Center.
My motivation for teaching comes from my love of Irish. I'm a regular contributor to Gaeilge media including RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta, BBC Gaeilge and Raidió Fáilte etc.
PLEASE NOTE: If rescheduling/cancelling a lesson, please give prior notice - even the day of. I understand life happens. That same understanding must be returned to me, also.
In scheduling a lesson, you are in agreement with this statement.
Let's work together :).
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My strengths as a teacher lie in providing engaging and entertaining lessons with a lot of feedback and support. I send resources, videos, memes, music, writing tasks and exercises that'll help you on your language journey.
I will personalise my classes to your specific needs and goals.
Afterwards, I will email you everything we talked about and learned in class. This will include any new vocabulary, explanations of grammar concepts, and resources that I recommend.
An excellent teacher that comes well prepared but also can be flexible depending on needs of the student. Very knowledgeable on the language and particularly strong on grammar. I have progressed so much and would highly reccommend.

Been taking lessons with Joseph for several months and I’ve made amazing progress. His lessons are always well thought out, interesting and at a level that encourages me to improve. If you put the work in and follow his instructions you’ll be well on your way to fluency.

I have been taking lessons with Seosamh on a weekly basis for the past 6 months. Without a doubt, I have grown so much in my language journey as a direct result of his instruction and direction.
Seosamh does an excellent job of creating a curriculum that is specific to my own skills and interests. He does this by assigning not only translation work, but also sending; movies, tv shows, videos, music, articles, and general resources to provide real world application of skills being learned.
The classes themselves are conversation driven. I am learning much more than just what words mean, but how to speak and have a conversation in the language. A pretty major part of language learning is being able to communicate, and Seosamh definitely makes that the priority it should be.
Whether you are a pure beginner learning your 1st words, have tried Duolingo (been there), or need to brush up, I highly recommend booking lessons with Seosamh. "Giorraíonn beirt bóthar" - Two shorten the journey!
