Hi! I'm Miss Clarke, an English teacher based in Dublin, Ireland. I was born and raised here, so I know a lot about Irish culture and society. My mother is Irish and my father is from Hong Kong, so I was lucky to grow up immersed in two amazing cultures. I really love movies, art and theatre. I'm a creative person and bring this energy to my work as a teacher.
I have experience as a language learner myself (Irish, Cantonese, French, Spanish). This has given me some perspective on the challenges you may face. I aim to be an encouraging teacher who helps you reach your goals at your own pace.Me as a Teacher
I hold a CELTA qualification and a First Class Honours degree in English Literature and Sociology from Trinity College Dublin. I’ve taught professionally in Ireland, Italy, Hong Kong and online.
While I’ve worked primarily with young learners under 12, I also have experience teaching teenagers and adults, in both one-on-one settings and larger groups of up to 28 students.
As a teacher, I’m positive and encouraging, but I also believe that having clear goals is essential for progress. I’m not afraid to be precise and structured to help you learn more effectively.
With young learners, I incorporate songs, actions, flashcards and games to make lessons engaging. My lessons & teaching style
I’m a flexible teacher with experience working across a range of ages and abilities. I tailor each class to suit your specific needs and learning goals, helping you build both accuracy and confidence. Together, we can set clear objectives and create a learning plan that works for you.
If helpful, I can assign homework to review at the start of our next class or choose articles, videos or songs for us to explore together. Whatever your preferred learning style, we’ll find the right approach. I also take notes during our lessons and send them to you afterward, so you can keep learning and revising between classes.My teaching material
