Personal Description:

Hi,

My name is Sorcha and I am a qualified French and Spanish teacher. I have ten years experience giving private grinds classes and have been giving classes online since Covid.

I have a first class honours in French and Spanish from UCD and in the Professional Master's in Education.

I have been giving grinds in both languages since I was in 6th year in Secondary School. I have taught students of all levels with varying goals and learning needs.

I am starting back up with weekly classes beginning the w/c August 26th.

Weekly class fees:
Junior Cycle - €40/hr
Senior Cycle - €50/hr

Throughout the year, all areas of language will be covered. There will be huge emphasis on grammar and building student confidence in reading, writing and speaking. Oral exam practice will begin as early as October with a short weekly practice oral at the end of most lessons.

These are 1-on-1 online classes. Students will need their own email address for Zoom links and class notes.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.

All the best,
Sorcha

Tutoring Experience:

I received an A1 in French in my leaving cert and a B1 in Spanish (which I started in 5th year). Since then I have lived in Madrid, Paris, Seville and Valencia, including teaching English and French to Spanish children and working as an attraction operator in Disneyland Paris!

I graduated from UCD in 2019 with a first class honours in Modern Languages, majoring in French and Spanish. I graduated again in 2022 with a first class honours from UCD in the Professional Master's of Education.

I have given grinds in both French and Spanish since I was in 6th year in Secondary School. I have taught all levels, from complete beginners to those aiming for top marks in the state exams. I have taught university students and those with individual learning needs.

I offer grinds to all levels and abilities from primary school to University level.

*All classes are online so students will need access to an email address to receive Zoom links and class notes*

Please let me know if you have any questions at all via email and I will get back to you ASAP.

All the best,
Sorcha

Approach to Grinds:

Learning languages is often seen as something you can or cannot do. I wholeheartedly disagree with this. I think each student is capable of improving and perfecting their language skills. Enjoying the language learning experience is a big part of this and something I try to bring into each of my classes.

I usually take a couple of weeks to get to know the student's level and way of seeing language and I make a plan from there based on each student's individual goals.

I think it is always important to remember that languages are not just school subjects - they are living things that open up new countries, cultures, cinema, cuisine etc. to us!
