Oibrím mar mhúinteoir Gaeilge agus TFC i gcoláiste comhoideachais i gCo. Luimnigh. Is Gaeilgeoir mé agus creidim go láidir gur ‘beatha teanga í a labhairt’. Tá súil agam go gcabhróidh mé go mór leat i rith na bliana seo.

My fundamental belief when it comes to teaching Irish is very simple: “if you can speak it, you can write it“.

I’m passionate about trying to make the Irish language more accessible to Leaving Cert Students, Student Teachers, Practising Teachers and adult learners of every kind! For me, it all comes down to rebuilding a learner's core grammatical structure, which enables them to develop a sense of independence over time. This also happens to be the most important element when it comes to speaking the language with a degree of freedom & fluency i.e. knowing verbs, tuiseal ginideach and the most common grammatical structures that one uses when speaking Irish.

I’ve enjoyed more than 20 years of teaching Irish to all academic levels and student abilities. I've also been teaching online since 2001!

I’ve worked as both an Irish oral examiner and a written examiner with the SEC in the past. I've worked in the biggest "Grinds School" in Munster. I also worked as the Lead Tutor for School Experience and Professional Practice with Hibernia College on their PDE Programme.
