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.

Every Irish conversation practice with Sarah is interesting and fun. We always stick to Irish (although of course I have to ask how to say a word occasionally). She is such a nice person and a great conversationalist, and she is interested in my life as well, as ordinary as it is, always. I really enjoy the practice with Sarah immensely, and I highly recommend her.

Great lesson! Highly recommended!!

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 always look forward to my weekly conversation practice in Irish with Sarah!! It's always fun, and it always helps me to improve my Irish.

Sorcha's lessons are always a fun challenge with just the right amount of difficulty within them. She is extremely patient and allows me the space in which to extract the meaning of a passage within a text using context.
