About Richard
I am a fully-qualified teacher registered with the Teaching Council of Ireland. I have been teaching the Irish language for 15+ years to all levels for the Leaving Certificate. I have a deep love and respect for our beautiful and majestic language: the oldest codified language in Western Europe.
I have taught people of Irish descent and also people from outside Ireland, who all successfully achieved their goals. I find it very satisfying to help students gain confidence and achieve their goals. There is nothing like it.
I am also a published author of historical content, including two books. I enjoy all kinds of music, cooking, travel, and films.
I have taught Irish to all levels of ability and for all leaving cert state exams. I successfully prepared aspiring primary school teachers to tackle leaving cert higher-level Irish within a single academic year with just two hours a week.
I have a very direct and practical approach. When it comes to speaking practice and oral exam tasks, we hash out the target vocabulary and we repeat and perfect what we want to say until the student is comfortable.
I favour a scaffolding methodology to writing practice, where a student has access to mind maps or vocab lists and answers exam questions under supervision, where the student is free to ask advice as often as they need. This builds confidence until, eventually, the student doesn't need much help and is writing top notch answers. Simple, satisfying, and very effective!

Working with Richard was really helpful. His approach gave me the skills and confidence I needed to achieve my goals for learning and using the Irish language. He was very kind, patient and encouraging.
I highly recommend him to a person at any level wanting to improve.Hi, I have taken Irish language lessons with Richard over the past 18 months. I can safely recommend him to anyone seeking to improve their irish language skills. Richard helped me prepare for the Irish leaving certificate. He clearly has a passion for the language and for teaching. His classes are interactive and fun. A really enjoyable experience overall.
Richard is an excellent teacher. His passion for Irish culture and language is contagious. He is really patient and reassuring when I’m struggling, and then celebrates every little win with such enthusiasm. He is encouraging, fun, and engaging. He actually makes it enjoyable to sit down and use my brain after a full day at work. I can only recommend working with him!
