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.

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 !

Really interesting and fun conversation practice with Sarah, as always!!

Coming back to a lesson after the Christmas break showed how quickly you can forget things (or is it just me)! Nonetheless, it was a fun and very worthwhile lesson thanks to Sorcha's boundless patience and willingness to correct my pronounciation of the same word multiple times in a lesson - and I will have forgotten it by next time anyway.

These conversational sessions with Sorcha are giving me the confidence to continue with my journey into the Irish language. She is incredibly patient and is highly skilled at guiding me towards deeper understanding.

She helped me with exactly what I asked for. She. Also have me advice on help outside of class.
