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.

Great first lesson. Sorcha went at a pace that was suitable for me as a beginner. Thank you!

I really appreciate having Sorcha as my teacher/guide to the beautiful Irish language as she has helped me to develop my abilities far quicker than I could have imagined at the start of my journey into the subject matter. Every lesson is both a pleasure as well as a challenge and the time passes all too quickly.

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 !

Wonderful conversation practice with Sarah as always! These weekly practices have helped me to improve my Irish greatly. I'm so grateful. I highly recommend Sarah!

I always enjoy the time I spend on these conversations and I am really pleased with the undeniable progress which I have made. Sorcha is a delight to chat with; every conversation we have takes us down different paths and expands my understanding of the language as well as increasing vocabulary whilst enjoying a genuine conversation.
