Personal Description:

Teacher of Gaeilge with 12+ years experience in both Second and Third level educational institutions.

I hold both a Bachelors and two Masters degrees in Gaeilge & in Education, as well as an in depth working knowledge of the Irish curriculum and the language itself.
I was recently selected to be part of the NCCA working (seven teachers selected nationwide) that reviewed the new Gaeilge leaving certificate literature.

I have had the privilege of tutoring many students who have gone on to achieve success in their examinations and look forward to welcoming you as a potential student also.
Please do not hesitate to reach out and I will do my very best to accommodate you.

Beir beannacht agus buíochas uaim,

From Elaine (5/5): (Senior Cycle Gaelic) Seamus has been working with my son the past few weeks. He explains things very well, works out the areas that need extra attention and gives useful feedback. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Overall, he is a wonderful person and tutor.
