Sorcha

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 !

Sorcha is a fine teacher. She asks about my day, my relationship to Ireland (which I love, Is brea liom é.) and my family, all simple topics that help me to get used to just speaking Irish. Sorcha is a fine teacher.

This was the first one-hour conversation that I have had with Sorcha and the time passed incredibly quickly. These conversations are always mixed appropriately so that both spoken and listening skills are improved, almost without noticing. A major plus for me is that the conversation are real in the sense that nothing is pre-planned so they develop naturally and cover very diverse subjects. I always leave the conversations knowing that I have improved my skill and with a clear idea of those areas that I need to work on.

I have been doing regular conversation practices with Sarah, in Irish, for almost three years now. There has never been a conversation that was not interesting and fun; I enjoy the conversations very much, and they have really improved my spoken Irish!

Great conversation practice with Sarah, as always!! I highly recommend her as a teacher!

It is always a pleasure to work with Sorcha as she clearly understands her subject extremely well and brings an enthusiasm for her language into every lesson. The lessons are always sufficiently challenging and her feedback is always extremely helpful.
