Fáilte! Is mise Sorcha. Here are a few things you might like to know about me: -From county Donegal, Ireland -Irish language translator -TEFL certified language teacher -Gaeilge enthusiast -Lover of sea swimming, sunshine, Irish trad music, reading, learning languages, exploring new places and meeting new people Qualified linguist and teacher with a relaxed and friendly but effective approach to teaching. Since graduating from NUI Galway with a BA in International Languages and completing the TEFL course, I found my passion for sharing cultures and ways of life with people internationally. I am delighted to play a small part in the encouragement of the revitalisation and preservation of the unique language of Irish. Teaching languages is such a rewarding role where I can really see my students improve daily and see their hard work pay off as they become more confident with their language abilities in their everyday lives. I design and produce lesson plans for all levels of Irish, adapting the pace and materials of my lessons to my student's interests, needs and goals to keep students engaged and motivated. Although I teach with specific targets for each lesson, I keep an open mind to developing conversation and topics of interest throughout.

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 !

Sarah is a wonderful Irish teacher, and I enjoy every conversation practice with her! Classes are always fun and relaxed, yet I am constantly improving my vocabulary and grammar skills during the lessons with her. I recommend her highly.

Always an absolute delight - I really benefit from Sorcha's approach to these conversations as I always feel that I am making progress. She provides plenty of space for me to formulate my thoughts and gently guides me through the interaction with solid feedback.
