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 conversation practice with Sarah, as always. I have done more than 50 conversation practices in Irish with her, and every one has been interesting and fun! I highly recommend her.

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 !

I have been learning with Sorcha for over a year now and I am really happy with my progress in the Irish language. Sorcha is a talented teacher who always extracts the best from me but has allowed me to learn at my own pace. Our conversations are natural and seem more like two friends chatting but still have a clear purpose so that I make real progress in the language.

Amazing teacher! Really supportive and helpful as well as incredibly patient and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend to anyone starting out.
