From David (/5): (Adult / Casual Gaelic) Ger has proven herself to me to be an excellent teacher. She is really well-versed in her subject (Gaeilge) but still manages to put the student at ease particularly as in my case I am a relative novice to the topic. What a difference it has been to have one-to-one contact with an experienced teacher rather than having to cope with the rather more layback attitude of some teachers teaching Gaeilge to approx. 12 students on some on-line sites.
Reply from Ger: Thanks for that David.You're a pleasure to work with as you really put in the work and are making amazing progress which is so well deserved.Well Done!

From Gillian (/5): (Senior Cycle Maths)
Reply from Ger: Thanks Gillian.She's doing well in group.She works well independently asking for help when needed and asks lots of questions which is conducive to making progress.That's why I find group so beneficial as shown by results this year and others.She is a pleasure to have in group,Ger
From Alice (/5): (Primary Gaelic) I am so glad that I found Ger to teach me Irish!

From Ken (/5): (Senior Cycle Maths) It is very rare to have the pleasure and experience of learning from someone who has such an advanced grasp of mathematics as Ger has. From tutoring students in maths myself I understand it is a difficult task to convey concepts of complexity in a simplistic and tailored manner such as Ger does. In fact, she makes it look easy.
Most noticeably with Ger was her friendliness. It was made apparent rapidly that this was a person I could openly ask questions and speak with. Her encouragement and resourcefulness are a huge reason that I had confidence while sitting in front of my Higher-Level paper.
Ger has a unique ability to identify precisely where a student is not understanding a specific item and eliminate that uncertainty which in my experience of maths teachers is nearly unheard of.
Overall, throughout the grinds, it is clear that Ger is an excellent teacher and an approachable person. I could not recommend anyone better.
Thank you Ger for going above and beyond for me to ensure I did well.

Reply from Ger: Oh Ken,Thanks for such a positive review.I must say,and as you know from tutoring yourself ,a student being engaged throughout the lesson makes for a good grind and it is a two way process.What the student puts in goes a long way to what they get out of it.You were a very enthusiastic student who made the lesson much more beneficial by asking lots of questions,knowing your strengths and weaknesses and taking all advice on board.You deserve to do well and I wish you the best of luck with the rest of the exams and hope you get Medicine as you've put in such hard work! Ger

She is able to engage my 11-year-old daughter (who doesn't like Maths, probably because she doesn't fully understand it) into practising and doing a lot of exercises in topics, where my daughter is struggling the most.
