Sorcha

I have had three lessons, and I can say with certainty that Sarah is an excellent teacher of Irish. Off the bat, she creates a comfortable environment. She also demonstrates that’s she’s invested in helping you along the learning journey. That’s really underrated, but important - especially since the classes are remote. I’m starting close to square one, and her approach is meant to arm me to the hilt with words and phrases that I will need to become conversant as soon as possible. She has developed tons of material, but it never feels like I’m on some kind of student assembly line, because she always goes at my pace and she always tailors the material to me. I intend to continue lessons indefinitely on a weekly basis with Sarah, and I recommend that you do as well.

Sorcha is a friendly , knowledgeable and encouraging teacher. As an adult learner , one of my biggest issues is with actually speaking the Irish that I do have . Sorcha politely prompts me to go back to Gaeilge when I slip back into using English. When I make mistakes , Sorcha will gently inform me of the correct structure that I should have used , without making me feel like a fool. It’s a skill that not all teachers have and along with simple , constructive lesson plans and some homework , makes Sorcha a great choice no matter what level your Irish is at. I’d recommend Sorcha as a teacher and I’m sure she’ll help you with your language journey , on top of that you’ll have met a genuinely nice person , it’s a win win really !

Sorcha has an incredible way of elevating any level of student. She is very passionate about the launguage and can articulate each lesson for growth that feels very accomplishing. Highly recommend for any level of learners.

Sorcha is very knowledgeable about the Irish language.

I absolutely cannot fault Sorcha as a teacher as she has expertly guided me through the past few months of my journey into the depths of this amazing language. She is very adept at providing clear explanations supported by relevant examples whenever asked for guidance on any particular point.

Sorcha is a first class teacher who combines an easy-going style with clear learning points in each lesson structured around my needs and ambitions. She explains new learning points with relevant, personalised examples which helps reinforce and strengthen understanding.
