Both of my children are doing lessons with Noirin for their Leaving Certificate. They find the lessons very good and useful. Noirin goes over all the necessary information and explains everything. We would definitely recommend her.

Jack has been a wonderful help to my son. He's taken a boy who really struggled in Irish to feeling far more confident speaking Irish & prepping for his exams. The change in such a short period of time has been quite staggering. Highly recommend Jack.

I absolutely love the energy and patience that Siúbhan brings to the lessons. My daughter is pretty shy when it comes to speaking Irish and is really starting to build confidence - it's early days but I feel like the previous dread has already lifted.

My son hated irish until he started grinds with Keelin. He looks forward to the class online and feels already so much more comfortable and more confident with the language. It's unbelievable to see the difference already after 3/4 classes, he no longer fears his irish classes in school and I find he is willing to try harder at the subject as he is more focused and feels he can achieve more with the subject as the fear is virtually gone. Keelin is amazing with him! I'm so delighted we decided to take online grinds which I was very unsure about initally.

Brilliant Irish tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
Your first lesson is your opportunity to meet your tutor and see if they're the right fit for you. If you're not 100% satisfied, we'll find you another tutor for free. It's our commitment to helping you find the perfect match for your learning journey.
Do I need any special equipment for my Irish lessons?
Not at all! All you need is a computer or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our platform is browser-based, so there's no special software to download.
How much do online Irish tutors cost?
The price of an Irish tutor varies based on their experience and qualifications. You can browse our tutors' profiles to see their individual rates, with prices typically starting from around £20 per hour. You're sure to find an expert tutor who fits your budget.
I know absolutely no Irish. Is tutoring right for me?
Yes, absolutely! Our tutors love working with complete beginners. They can provide a solid foundation in pronunciation, basic grammar, and vocabulary, setting you up for success and building your confidence from the very first lesson.
How do I find the right Irish tutor for me?
You can use our search filters to find tutors based on their experience, availability, and price. Read their profiles and student reviews, and feel free to message a few tutors to discuss your goals before booking your first lesson.
How often should I have an Irish lesson?
For best results, we recommend at least one lesson per week to maintain momentum and consistency. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged directly with your tutor to fit your schedule.
Can I focus specifically on conversational Irish?
Of course. Many learners want to focus primarily on speaking and listening. Just let your tutor know your goals, and they will tailor your lessons to prioritise conversational practice and fluency.
Do tutors teach specific Irish dialects?
Yes, many of our tutors specialise in one of the three main dialects (Munster, Connacht, or Ulster). They will often mention this in their profile, so you can find a tutor who can teach you the specific dialect you're interested in learning.
How long will it take to learn basic conversational Irish?
This varies for every student, but working with a private tutor significantly speeds up the process. With regular lessons and practice, many students can hold simple conversations within a few months.
How are your Irish tutors vetted?
We have a strict selection process. Only 1 in 8 applicants is accepted. We verify their ID, interview them, and assess their teaching expertise to ensure you're learning from the best.
What if I'm not a beginner?
Our tutors cater to all levels, from absolute beginner to advanced learners looking to perfect their fluency or delve into Irish literature. You can find an expert to help you reach the next stage of your language journey, whatever that may be.
