Fáilte! This is a class for learners who want to begin learning Irish. The private class allows me to customize the curriculum to your child's needs and interests. Dia duit! Róisín is ainm dom! Having grown up and trained as a teacher in Ireland, I taught Irish every day as part of the elementary curriculum. Learning Irish, as with any language, should be fun, engaging and interactive. I aim to immerse students in a full Irish language experience where possible, modeling the language and using prompting to encourage the students to participate, with the aim of reducing the use of English in class as your learner's understanding grows. Topics to be covered will include: ⭐ Colors ⭐ Counting ⭐ Parts of our Body and Face ⭐ How to introduce yourself ⭐ Days of the Week ⭐ The Weather ⭐ Toys ⭐ Shopping ⭐ The weather ⭐ My Family ⭐ How do you feel? 💐 Get $10 off your first 1 to 1 class with coupon code BUTLEUHYYZ10 💐

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Education from Open University
Hello! My name is Roisin. Welcome to my classroom!
I have a both a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and a Master's Degree in Education. For more than 20 years I have been a teacher and an educator. I have been a classroom teacher, a curriculum designer, a teacher trainer and an online English teacher. I have experience teaching students from PreSchool through to 9th grade, both in a regular classroom and also in a virtual classroom. For me as an educator, it has been rewarding at every level to nurture and foster early skills and equip young learners with the tools they need to inquire and question about the world around them. I love to see how these skills grow and develop, and support learners as they progress throughout the grades.
I believe that children learn when they are actively engaged in their learning, sharing their ideas and collaborating with their peers. Learning is inspired by lessons that are meaningful and relevant to students. The lessons spark their interest, nurture and develop an understanding of a 'big idea' and build essential skills. And of course fun and enjoyment in the classroom are essential ingredients too. When students are happy and engaged, those meaningful conversations and interactions happen naturally in the classroom.
Over the past few years I have learned to surf (badly). I am by no means a good surfer (in fact I'm pretty poor), but there is nothing more rewarding than finally standing upright on that board! Its good to feel the challenge of slowly mastering the various steps, before finally mastering the 'pop-up'. And nothing more humbling than seeing the little kids whizz past you as you struggle to master those skills during the process!
