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. "Giorraíonn beirt bóthar" - Two shorten the journey!

Irish lessons with Seosamh are a highlight of my week—he's a delight to talk to, a font of knowledge about the language, and you come away from each class not only having learned a great deal, but more excited about the language than when you started.

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.

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!

Seosamh is a wonderful teacher! He regularly checks in to make sure I am understanding the lesson as well as plenty of time reviewing. He has created a learning environment that is fun and engaging, plus he is extremely well versed on the past and present of Ireland so you are learning why the language is shaped as it is.
