Dia duit/Hey, Iâm glad you found me!
"If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart" - Nelson Mandela
Is fearr Gaeilge bhriste nĂĄ BĂ©arla cliste â Broken Irish is better than clever English :-)
Things I love:

âImmersing myself in new cultures (language and food!!).
Iâve been teaching English and Irish for the last number of years at prestigious schools in Spain, Portugal and online. I've had students from all over including, Spain, Portugal, France, Brazil, Russia and China.Me as a Teacher
My students are made to feel comfortable and their confidence is built up right away in order to become proficient speakers whether they are complete beginners or intermediate level :)
My best quality as a teacher is the ability to recognise individual needs and plan my classes accordingly so that every class is highly engaging for you!
I have experience teaching Cambridge Exams, IELTS, iGCSE, IB Diploma and General English.My lessons & teaching style
I use a wide range of materials such as articles, videos, music and other authentic resources which will help you to feel more confident when speaking English and Irish and will be sure to keep you fully engaged!

This is my 10th lesson with Kate and they keep getting better and better.
The old adage is if learning is fun, then youâll really learn and I am having a blast.
Seamlessly the Irish language is being tied into culture history in the land of Ireland seriously, it couldnât be any better
