Learn with English Literature – an EFL course based on graded readers of classic tales from English literature
Explore English literature from the 14th century to the 21st century. I have a library of graded readers covering all levels 1 - 6. There is everything from Geoffrey Chaucer to George Orwell via Shakespeare to explore.
Are you interested in horror? Then how about Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula’ or the ghost stories of M. R. James? Is romance what you like in literature? Then why not study ‘Sense and Sensibility’ by Jane Austen, or if you prefer your romance a bit more dramatic, then I would recommend ‘Wuthering Heights’ by Emily Brontë. If science fiction is more your taste, you will find H. G. Wells and Jules Verne in my collection. Is adventure what you are interested in? How about 'Jamaica Inn' by Daphne du Maurier. Politics? '1984' by George Orwell. Is comedy more your thing? In my library you will find ‘Three Men in a Boat’ by Jerome K. Jerome. Perhaps detective stories? I have the greatest of them all – Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. And of course, no library would be complete without the classic tales from Thomas Hardy and Charles Dickens.
When you learn English with some of the finest stories ever told, it helps to make everything you learn stay in your memory.

My clients have included: The Harvard Business Review, the United Nations, Google and CitiBank.

Business English – a course based on either the Cambridge BEC vantage certificate or the Cambridge BEC Higher certificate. All course materials are entirely constructed from the original materials published by the examining board at Cambridge University.
This is actually a number of courses. Each course is based upon original materials from the Cambridge examining bodies. The following exams are covered:
Preliminary English Test
First Certificate of English
Certificate of Advanced English
Certificate of Proficiency in English
Students will be expected to complete a reasonable amount of study as homework before participating in each class. The course covers the following legal areas:
corporate law
financial law
contract law
liability in law suits
patents and intellectual property
Course Description:
The course is conducted entirely by e-mail, this ensures complete flexibility of the students’ time - no fixed day / time for lessons, so students can work whenever they want. Students improve their skills in written English by engaging in a highly focused step-by-step methodology which guarantees results. Four written exercises are assigned each month. The course can be structured for either business English / general English or a combination of the two.
Here’s how it works:
1. Each week the student receives instructions for a writing exercise.
2. The student sends their written exercise to the teacher for the first time.
3. The teacher highlights mistakes in the student’s writing using a special colour co-ordinated scheme to indicate mistakes in either grammar / spelling etc.
4. The student corrects their various mistakes and returns their writing to the teacher for a second time.
5. This time the teacher corrects any remaining mistakes using the ‘track changes’ function in MS Word so that the student can clearly see how their text has been corrected and make comparisons between their own writing and how this has been improved by the teacher.

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. MayoFor the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above.
You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students.
My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals.
In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience.
What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless!
In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years.
I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!
