Personal Description:

I am Science/Biology/Chemistry teacher, and have been teaching full time for 10 years.

I am fluent in Irish and have been teaching through Irish for the last 8 years.

Willing to give grinds in the evening to enable students to catch up or consolidate their learning.

Can do subjects together, e.g. Biology and Chem or Bio and Irish etc…

Tutoring Experience:

I have a professional Masters in Education from UCD, and an additional Masters in Oideachas Lán Gaeilge from UL. I have a TEG level C1, the highest level of competency in Irish. I am a teaching council registered teacher, with 10 years teaching experience in secondary level as a Science teacher. I have been giving grinds for 8 years in all my subjects in Wicklow and in Dublin.

Approach to Grinds:

I use simple, down to earth language, lots of visual aids, diagrams, graphs to convey concepts and worksheet to consolidate learning, I use of exam papers and sample questions to prepare students for likely exam questions. Use of enquiry and active learning when applicable, word games for definitions, mind maps, experiment simulations etc.
