Summary

I am a dedicated and adaptable French and Gaeilge teacher with experience across a range of year groups and abilities. I have taught across junior cycle, Transition Year, Leaving Certificate, and LCA programmes, and am passionate about delivering engaging, well-structured lessons that support students in developing confidence in their language skills.

My approach values both academic progress and the wider development of the student, encouraging confidence, participation, and positive relationships within my classroom. I thrive in collaborative environments and am committed to creating a positive and inclusive learning space where students feel confident using Gaeilge and French.
