Fàilte do oisean na Gàidhealtachd air italki Enter a small corner of Scottish Gaeldom on Italki! To teach is to learn. AUGUST to OCTOBER 2026 now also AVAILABLE for BOOKING. Many thanks for your patience and understanding. Tha uairean airson leasanan rim faighinn bhon LÙNASTAL chun DÀMHAIR 2026. Mo mhìle thaing dhuibh. I'm a translator, an advocate for Gaelic (Scotland) and Scots to be re-integrated more widely into Scotland's society, and supportive of other minority languages, such as Irish, Welsh, Breton, Basque, Ryukyuan (Okinawa), etc. I also support variety in English, and all its diverse accents and forms, including my own variety, which is SSE (Standard Scottish English). INTRO I started teaching Gaelic (Scotland) online in 2010, and for Italki in 2014. I offer a tailored teaching approach. Please ask for details. Lessons on days outside my schedule are sometimes available on request. Italki has a function that allows me to invite a student to take a lesson instantly. To all my regular students, thank you for your dedication. LESSONS I tailor my lessons to each individual student. Everyone learns differently, but the focus is on conversation with explanations and other types of practice woven into the time available. There is no one size fits all. Naturally, the lessons will include explanations on grammar or vocabulary and idiom, as necessary. All levels are welcome from Beginner to Advanced.

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.)

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

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.

Bidh Steven an-còmhnaidh a' toirt dhomh tòrr fhaclan is abairtean ùra airson a chleachdadh. Tha e glè bhronsachail agus tha mi a' faireachdainn gu bheil mo chuid Gàidhlig a' fàs nas fheàrr às dèidh gach leasan!
