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.

I have now had, unbelievably, more than 50 lessons with Sorcha which is great testament to her incredible patience :) She has helped me learn at a pace to suit me and given invaluable support as I try to get a grips with this beautiful language. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have found such a capable individual. Go raibh mile maith agat, a Sorcha.

Sorcha was an incredibly nice and patient teacher. She made me feel comfortable while I was doing my trial lesson.

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 !

Very attentive, took the time to discuss any questions and still kept the lesson moving. Used relevant examples, encouraged input from me to tailor the lesson to my understanding and preferences. Also a nice person to chat to, very encouraging and affirming of positives. Excellent teacher, all the stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great conversation in Irish with Sarah, as always! I have been practicing with her for a long time; she is a true gem!
