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 !

I really enjoy these lessons and have no doubt that I am developing my language skills under the guidance of an exceptional teacher. Sorcha directs the lesson expertly and gently pushes me to do more and thus learn more effectively.

I've been doing conversation practice with Sarah for quite a while now. She is very patient and has helped me to improve my Irish immensely. I highly recommend her!

Great conversation practice with Sorcha. I always enjoy speaking Irish with her. She is kind and patient, and interesting and fun to talk with. My Irish has definitely improved since I have been doing regular conversation practice with her. I highly recommend her!

Sorcha was patient and helpful in guiding me through the introduction lesson, finding out my goals and helping me to speak the language from Day 1.
