Success Stories from Our Students
“I cannot recommend Clíona enough. I went from feeling completely overwhelmed about my Irish oral to actually looking forward to speaking. She breaks everything down so clearly and goes back to basics in a way that just makes sense. My confidence grew week by week, and I genuinely felt prepared walking into my exam.”
“Clíona has such a calm and supportive teaching style. She helped me prepare for my Hibernia entrance Irish oral, and the structure she gave me was a game changer. Instead of memorising chunks, I actually understood what I was saying. That made all the difference.”
“I had struggled with Irish for years and honestly thought I just ‘wasn’t good at it.’ Working with Clíona completely changed that mindset. Going back to the foundations helped everything click. I passed my TEG B1 feeling confident and capable - something I never thought I’d say!”
“Clíona’s workshops are so practical and focused. She tells you exactly what you need to work on and how to improve it. I completed her prep course for the Hibernia Irish entrance oral and I felt so much more prepared than I expected. She genuinely cares about her students doing well and knows exactly what you do/don’t need to know - which saved me so much time!”
“I got in touch with Cliona as I had just received a H6 in my Pre exams and I needed a H4 for Primary Teacheing. From the very first lesson, Clíona created such a positive and encouraging space. I was so nervous about my Leaving Cert exam, especially the Irish oral, but she helped me build my answers properly and understand the language instead of just learning scripts. I came out of the exam feeling proud of myself because I had not only done well in the exam but my overall understanding had just increased so much, which of course helped with the written parts of the exam too."
