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 !

Really enjoyed another lesson with Sorcha - a teacher who is highly engaging and extremely competent. I have been learning with Sorcha for a year now and am very happy with the progress I have made and for which I will always be grateful to my teacher.

This was another excellent conversation and I really appreciate the amount of support which Sorcha provides in the allotted time. Each conversation feels very natural and covers a range of topics and interests which are, mostly, unplanned. Where necessary, Sorcha explains grammar exceptionally well with very good examples that really do aid my understanding. Go raibh mile maith agat, a Sorcha!

Sorcha was so easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable and confident enough to take on learning a new language- I look forward to learning from her again!
