I've done more than 40 lessons with Caoimhín now and he has helped progress my Irish so quickly. I was able to even go to the Gaeltacht and speak order at cafes and restaurants as Gaeilge while also engaging in light conversation. I recommend him if you want to really start speaking Irish.

Caoimhín is absolutely wonderful to work with. He is kind, patient and encouraging. He allows for a relaxed and fun environment to use your speaking skills while always being quick and polite to make corrections and help build confidence.

Great lesson with Caoimhín, as always!

Is múinteoir den scoth é Caoimhín. Tá an-chuid eolais agus scileanna aige, agus cuireann sé rudaí in iúl go han-mhaith. Tá mé cinnte, má leanaim orm ag obair leis, go dtiocfaidh feabhas mór ar mo chuid Gaeilge!

Nice sense of humour and explains very well. Always enjoy the class

Caoimhín is a truly excellent teacher. I am learning a lot more Irish since I started classes with him, and I'm doing a lot more things 'as Gaeilge' than I ever thought I had the time for before this. He is easy to talk with and the conversation practice is always interesting. Caoimhín says about himself in his profile on italki: "I see myself as more of a mentor than a traditional language teacher. My role is to facilitate learning in every way that I can – to help people find effective and enjoyable methods, establish a good routine, and stay motivated by making steady progress." I would say that is an EXACT description of how he teaches. I have been studying Irish for six years now, but I was definitely having trouble with establishing a good routine AND with finding effective and enjoyable methods for learning the language. After a few small suggestions and encouragement from Caoimhín, all of a sudden Irish is a much larger part of my life. I highly recommend him as a teacher.
