    Tutor Testimonials

    "Adrian is an outstanding Irish teacher who has a great passion for the language and an exceptional knowledge of the Leaving Certificate syllabus. His fluency in Irish as well as his engaging and accessible teaching style, makes every lesson both enjoyable and very productive.
    From the very beginning, Adrian places strong emphasis on building a solid foundation in grammar and spoken Irish. This early focus is a game-changer—it not only prepares you thoroughly for the oral exam but also gives you the confidence to tackle unpredictable questions in the written paper using your own Irish, rather than relying solely on your notes.
    What truly sets Adrian apart is the learning environment he creates which is open, encouraging, and enjoyable. Questions are always welcomed, and lessons are adapted to suit individual needs. Whether it’s through grammar games, fast-paced oral drills, or targeted exam strategies, his teaching is always student-focused and adaptable.
    Thanks to Adrian, I felt confident going into both the oral and written exams, fully equipped with the skills and knowledge I needed. I would recommend him without hesitation to any student looking to excel in Irish.    "
    Andrew, LC 2024
    "During my time in Leaving Cert 2024/25, I did Higher Level Irish grinds with Adrian and found them to be extremely beneficial in my ability to perform well and achieve a H1 in the subject, as well as helping me to gain a better understanding of the Leaving Cert Irish curriculum. Essay topics, grammar, and other studied material were explained clearly and simply in a way that made sense for the exam and were accompanied by excellent revision notes and sample answers to build from. In particular, the dedicated time given to the preparation for the oral exam proved to be extremely helpful, and I felt they were a vital element of my success in the subject. This consisted of mock oral practice with him and other students, as well as specific feedback and other relevant tips and tricks to aid in navigating the oral exam and making yourself stand out against other Leaving Cert students. Adrian improved my confidence greatly in the subject and helped give me the necessary approach and skills to tackle Leaving Cert Irish."
