About Niamh
I am a passionate native Irish speaker and qualified primary school teacher who loves making Irish fun, modern, and accessible. I want to help children and beginners see Irish as a living language that can be enjoyed, rather than something difficult or intimidating.
As someone with dyslexia myself, I understand that traditional ways of learning do not work for everyone. This has inspired me to think outside the box and find creative ways of teaching that suit each individual learner. I believe teaching should adapt to the student, not the other way around. My goal is to create enjoyable, relaxed lessons where students can build confidence, learn in a way that suits them, and leave each lesson feeling proud of what they have achieved.

I am a qualified primary school teacher and native Irish speaker with over three years of teaching experience. I have worked with children in a variety of educational settings, including one-to-one teaching in schools and providing home-based individual lessons.
I am passionate about making Irish a fun, enjoyable, and modern language for children. I want children to see Irish as a living language that they can use, enjoy, and feel confident speaking, rather than simply a subject they learn in school. As a native Irish speaker, I have experience working in a variety of Irish-language settings, including Gaeltacht environments and Gaelscoileanna, giving me a strong understanding of the language and of how to support children in developing their Irish.
My lessons are tailored to each individual student, their age, ability, and learning needs. I place a strong emphasis on oral Irish, conversation, pronunciation, and building confidence in speaking, while also incorporating interactive games, activities, and resources to keep lessons engaging. I believe children learn best when they are actively involved and enjoying the learning process, so I aim to create a relaxed, positive, and encouraging environment.
Lessons can be 30 minutes or one hour, depending on what suits the child best. I can adapt the pace, activities, and content to each student, whether they need additional support with their school Irish, want to improve their confidence speaking the language, or are learning Irish from the beginning.
My lessons are suitable for primary school children of all ages and abilities, as well as beginners of any age who would like to learn Irish. Whether your child needs support with their schoolwork, wants to improve their spoken Irish, or you simply want to help them develop a love for the language, I will tailor each lesson to their individual needs and interests.

We’ve had such a positive experience with Niamh. She has been brilliant at helping our child with their social skills and confidence, and we’ve genuinely noticed a difference.
Niamh has a very natural way with children. She makes them feel at ease and never puts pressure on them. She takes things at their pace and finds ways to help them understand and manage situations that they might otherwise find difficult.
Over time, we’ve seen our child become much more confident in themselves and more comfortable socially, which has been lovely to see. It’s the kind of support that makes a real difference, not just during the sessions but in everyday life too.
We’re really grateful to Niamh for all her support and would definitely recommend her to any parent looking for some extra help with their child’s confidence and social skills.We honestly couldn’t recommend Niamh highly enough. She was such a fantastic support for our child during the transition from primary school to secondary school.
She really met our child at their level, worked at their pace and took the time to understand what they needed. She helped build their confidence, understanding and belief in themselves, and made the whole transition feel much less daunting.
Our child has now moved on to secondary school, but we’re still in regular contact with Niamh and go back to her for sessions, advice and support whenever we feel it would help. That really says it all about how much we value her.
Niamh is warm, patient, encouraging and genuinely understands children. We’re so grateful for everything she has done and continues to do. She’s been a really important part of our child’s journey, and we’d absolutely recommend her to any parent.Niamh has been fantastic with my son. He needed a bit of extra support across a few different subjects, particularly because he can find it difficult to concentrate when he’s faced with lots of formal text and traditional schoolwork.
What I love about Niamh is that she doesn’t just stick to what’s in the book. She takes the time to find out what interests him and uses those interests to make the work more engaging and meaningful for him. She’s really good at finding alternative ways to explain things and, as a result, he’s much more willing to engage and give things a go.
She has such a lovely way of bringing out the best in him, and it’s been brilliant to see him enjoying learning more and feeling more confident in himself. We’re so grateful to her.I honestly couldn’t recommend Niamh highly enough. She worked with my daughter on both Maths and Irish and made such a difference to her confidence.
Niamh met her exactly where she was at and, rather than just using the usual teaching methods, she adapted everything to suit how my daughter learned best. She was so patient, encouraging and understanding.
Seeing my daughter move into her next class feeling happy, settled and confident instead of lost has meant so much to us. The change in her has been amazing. We’re so grateful to Niamh and would absolutely recommend her to any parent.View more recommendations
