Personal Description:
I am a native Irish speaker from a Gaeltacht in Mayo but I'm currently located in Galway. I have experience in teaching, translating, and transcribing Irish and have aided students at all levels to achieve their best grades. I also do a lot of work with the Irish language through organizing and facilitating Irish language and bilingual events, creative work through Irish, and the community development of Irish.
Tutoring Experience:
For the past four years, I have facilitated a Ciorcal Comhrá/Irish language discussion group in Galway. I have helped primary and secondary students with Irish in Irish language summer camps and colleges as an instructor as well as working as a Bean an Tí for a summer college. During my time in secondary school and university, I tutored students in Irish and helped them with corrections. For four years I also worked as a babysitter for a family of three where I practiced Irish with them.
Approach to Grinds:
I help the students set and achieve specific goals based on what they need to work on. I strongly believe in building confidence with the language as a way of learning so I encourage and work on oral practice with them. I am also open to any format of grinds that suits the individual for example if the student has a love of music we would try to use Irish language music as an approach to learning. I hope to pass on my passion for the Irish language to every individual that I teach and make the lessons an enjoyable experience.

Seoirsín has a very relaxed, calm teaching style which puts you at ease right from the start. She is also very encouraging, patient and attentive throughout lessons which has really supported my learning.
Being a native Irish speaker from the Gaeltacht Seoirsín provides unique insights into the Irish language which she shares as you progress though lessons, which are always very interesting.
I am very happy with all my lessons from Seoirsín. I highly recommend Seoirsín for anyone looking to improve their Irish, be it the causal learner or the student looking to improve their grades.
