What my Leaving Cert students are saying

"Brid is an excellent teacher who is passionate about the Irish language. She really helped me improve my grammar and oral skills while prepping me for my exams. I would highly recommend Brid to any student."

Kate, Leaving Cert student

"I started lessons with Bríd in first year, and my Irish was terrible. I didn't have any vocabulary, and I had no idea of how to structure a sentence. But Bríd was always patient with me. She never got fed up with my lack of knowledge. She was also always so honestly interested in how well she could teach me as well as doing things in her spare time for me. Whether I asked basic or complex questions, she always responded with a smile.

The biggest part of I Irish that I needed to learn was the grammar and the rules. Bríd has a brilliant understanding of it, unlike some Irish teachers who learn things off by heart. Bríd understands the language really well, and that's passed onto me too, Now I'm a competent Irish speaker, can speak basic Irish with anyone and can think in Irish. Now I'm in a brilliant place to deepen my vocabulary and gain fluency. "
