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.

Seosamh is a fantastic teacher who creates fun, comfortable, and very interesting lessons. Tá mé an-bís ag obair le Seosamh. Would highly recommend.

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.

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

Seosamh is an excellent teacher. He's able to explain concepts clearly and is very strong in clarifying how the language is actually spoken vs how it appears in writing. He's an outstanding teacher of Ulster Irish, but is also very good at explaining how things will appear in the other dialects and the standard when they differ. I also very much appreciate his commitment to teaching about culture and current events and the wider context of the Irish language. I highly recommend Seosamh!
