    -I have been teaching online one-to-one classes for more than three years to Leaving Cert English students hoping to improve their grade/understanding of texts and exam questions (be it poetry techniques, Shakespeare or writing strong essays ).

    About Me

    I am a genuine and approachable teacher who is eager to help students grow in confidence and reach their goals. I really enjoy working one on one with students and I try to provide a relaxing non-stressful environment where they can get personalised support and guidance.

    Education

    I grew up and studied in Dublin, earning a BA Honours degree in English with Creative Writing at UCD.
    Earned a scholarship for high grades during my time in university and graduated with First Class Honours (GPA 4.0).
    Earned a CELTA qualification for teaching English to non-native learners.

    Experience / Qualifications

    3+ years experience teaching one-on-one, both online and in person.
    CELTA qualified, teaching English at different levels and using a mixture of textbooks and my own notes and slides.
    Fiction Editor of a successful magazine issue published by UCD (Link available upon request).
    In one-to-one classes I can offer the support, feedback and encouragement that you need to start writing creatively, whether it's for a course, to improve your language skills and fluency, or as a hobby/passion. I am a graduate of English with Creative Writing at UCD, have published several short stories and have years of experience giving advice and constructive feedback to other writers (I was also the fiction editor of a successful magazine issue published by UCD). Whether we start with a piece of writing that you want to expand on and improve or just an idea or genre you would like to write in, I can assist you. As well as giving you feedback on your work and talking you through how to go about editing, we can also look at certain books or stories as examples of excellent writing, to help inspire your own work. I offer close guidance and attention and try to create a welcoming, non-judgemental environment in which to work and grow your ideas. Please get in touch with your request so I have an idea of what you are looking for before our first introductory class *For students needing help with literature analysis, better understanding texts and essay writing* With experience as a writer, editor and as an English graduate and LC tutor, I can offer you help with analysing literature on your college course or exam, or help you with essay writing/editing

    English learning or improvement courses
    English, beyond being the international language of business, is the most widely spoken language in the world. It is a language that brings together diverse people, from different backgrounds, cultures, and languages, enabling communication between these different parties—a crucial element in various contexts, whether traveling or at work. Moreover, today, for many recruiters, speaking English is not a bonus but almost a necessity. During the classes I give, I will not only focus on grammatical mastery of the language, but we will also work on the pronunciation and phonetics of this language. I will also suggest that we read aloud together different texts from different sources (novels, newspaper articles, etc.) allowing us to add a cultural and intellectual aspect to our language learning.
