Irish is an ancient language spoken for well over two thousand years. Today, Irish is the home language of thousands, both in Ireland and overseas. Hundreds of thousands of others, if not millions, have Irish as a second language.
I, Siobhán, would be delighted to give you the brilliant start you need to learn Irish. I have lots of experience in teaching people of all ages online and in teaching adults in a classroom setting. I hold a Diploma in Applied Irish and Translation. You can find out more about me on my Linkedin profile. If you already have a knowledge of Irish, I would be more than pleased to help you reach fluency. No matter why you wish to speak Irish, be it for school or out of interest or for whatever reason, I can guide you to proficiency.

Depending on the student’s individual needs, I use the many features offered by Skype to enhance the effectiveness of my teaching and to simplify the learning process. I can use Skype screen sharing to easily share my visual material with the student during the lesson. The instant messaging incorporated in Skype makes writing and spelling practice during class super easy and convenient.
Hi Siobhán ,
Dia duit
I’d be really interested in a lesson with you. I’m in Australia though, would that work time wise ? I have two young children, nearly 2 and 4 using watsap would be easier than Skype for me.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Georgina,
Dia is Muire duit,
I currently have a number of students from Australia so the time difference shouldn’t pose much of a problem, depending on the time of day that works for you. I have sent you an email with the times that I’m available.
Le gach dea-ghuí,
Siobhán

Hello Siobhán, my children (aged 8 and 10) will be living in Mexico for the next two years and I’d like them to keep broadly up with the progress of their Gaelige curriculum so that they can go back to school in Ireland without too many problems. Is this something that you have experience with? Teaching Irish expat children on Skype?

Hello Clara,
Nice to hear from.
I have experience teaching children of primary and secondary school age in Ireland and abroad on Skype but not Irish expat children, so far.
I would love to help, so feel free to let me know when would suit you best.
