Personal Description:

Offering Religious Education, History and English grinds with the first session FREE. This includes broken-down notes, samples essays and access to pre recorded lessons in addition to the grind.
With a decade of experience, I've taught History, Religious Education, and English to both Junior and Leaving Certificate students. I adapt my teaching to suit learners of all levels and abilities. My career has spanned various schools in Dublin, along with private language companies, focusing on delivering high-quality education.

I've also provided tutoring for both Leaving and Junior Certificate subjects, aiding students in improving their grades and attaining their desired points. Additionally, I have extensive experience in guiding students through project work, including Leaving Cert written assignments and Junior Cert Classroom-Based Assessments (CBAs).

Tutoring Experience:

For the past five years, I've been engaging with students through online tutoring, achieving significant success. My qualifications include a teaching degree, along with a master's in education and digital pedagogy, specialising in Religious Education, History, and English. Additionally, I mentor student teachers at the tertiary level, guiding them in lesson planning and teaching methodologies.
I also work with third-level institutes in teacher training and lesson planning.
In addition I have my own teaching page on Instagram and Twitter.

I believe that fostering confidence in a subject is fundamental to effective learning. I am committed to helping my students reach their academic objectives, providing guidance on essay writing, structuring responses, and, most importantly, understanding the subject matter. My extensive experience in these areas has proven their effectiveness.

Approach to Grinds:

I encourage the understanding of a topic and encourage students to avoid simply learning from essays. Instead, I emphasise breaking down topics to allow a standard comprehension and interpretation of data. This in turn allows my students to get better at note taking and structuring their essays.
I charge €40 per session. With that, I offer my resources that break down the History and Religious Education Curriculum along with my revision sheets. I'll correct as many additional essays, tests, and projects. I'll provide in-depth feedback on where exactly the student needs to improve and cater my class notes to suit the individual student. For English, I'll help the pupil create specific notes on comparative & poetry topics that will play to the student's strengths.
