Seosamh Mac Seoin

An excellent teacher that comes well prepared but also can be flexible depending on needs of the student. Very knowledgeable on the language and particularly strong on grammar. I have progressed so much and would highly reccommend.

I have been taking lessons with Seosamh on a weekly basis for the past 6 months. Without a doubt, I have grown so much in my language journey as a direct result of his instruction and direction. Seosamh does an excellent job of creating a curriculum that is specific to my own skills and interests. He does this by assigning not only translation work, but also sending; movies, tv shows, videos, music, articles, and general resources to provide real world application of skills being learned. The classes themselves are conversation driven. I am learning much more than just what words mean, but how to speak and have a conversation in the language. A pretty major part of language learning is being able to communicate, and Seosamh definitely makes that the priority it should be. Whether you are a pure beginner learning your 1st words, have tried Duolingo (been there), or need to brush up, I highly recommend booking lessons with Seosamh.

Grá! Every lesson feels like calling an old friend. Seosamh seems genuinely happy and excited when I get stuff right or when I bust out a new phrase I learned on my own, which is very motivating. And there is no feeling of shame, disappointment when you get stuff wrong or are struggling. He helps you correct pronunciation with ease. The perfect blend of care and protection of the language, patience, friendship and excitement. I am 26 so it is nice to take lessons with a native speaker in my age range because I feel like I can be more honest about what my life is like or what language would be useful to me. Not that I don’t respect my elders but it’s nice to have similar interests/hobbies/lifestyles it gives us more to talk about. I recommend Seosamh to all my friends.

Been taking lessons with Joseph for several months and I’ve made amazing progress. His lessons are always well thought out, interesting and at a level that encourages me to improve. If you put the work in and follow his instructions you’ll be well on your way to fluency.

Just completed trial lesson with Seosamh; already got into learning proper pronunciation of certain parts of Irish. Excited to continue.

Great lesson! I did a trial lesson an half hour lesson. Seosamh was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and super encouraging. I needed speaking practice but speaking in Irish can be very intimidating. Seosamh was great to work with and I plan to sign up for more lessons—probably a package. Mary
