Working with Richard was really helpful. His approach gave me the skills and confidence I needed to achieve my goals for learning and using the Irish language. He was very kind, patient and encouraging.
I highly recommend him to a person at any level wanting to improve.

Hi, I have taken Irish language lessons with Richard over the past 18 months. I can safely recommend him to anyone seeking to improve their irish language skills. Richard helped me prepare for the Irish leaving certificate. He clearly has a passion for the language and for teaching. His classes are interactive and fun. A really enjoyable experience overall.

Richard is an excellent teacher. His passion for Irish culture and language is contagious. He is really patient and reassuring when I’m struggling, and then celebrates every little win with such enthusiasm. He is encouraging, fun, and engaging. He actually makes it enjoyable to sit down and use my brain after a full day at work. I can only recommend working with him!
