Then we will look at the prescribed text, and students will be familiarised with the exam structure. The final 4 weeks will be dedicated to the picture sequences and role-plays, and students will be prepared with expert material and will practice them up until the Christmas break.

Classes and courses
At-home online learning is broken up into weekly lesson plans, Conducted through Zoom Meetings, with notes prepared and kept on Google Docs as a study resource.
Leaving cert preparatory courses will begin on the 25th September 2023. They are adaptable to students’ needs, and will focus on boosting students’ ability to tackle the Leaving Cert oral in April and the Leaving Cert in June 2023.
“Online tutoring - a new and original way to tackle the traditional Leaving Cert.”
Students don’t need to study a language in school to be able to sit the exam come June. With private tutoring, they can prepare themselves in their own time and at their own pace.
These days, with the advance of online learning largely due to the pandemic, old-fashioned ‘grinds’ have reshaped themselves. Now they can be done online, which makes things a lot easier in terms of transport, timing, and materials.
I use Google Docs as a sort of notebook in which all the material is accessible in a few clicks. I cover the syllabus in detail with my students, preparing them for all aspects of the exam. Lessons are dynamic, personalized, and fun.
I am working to launch one-to-one and group courses for late August 2022.
