Adam has almost two decades of experience teaching Irish in secondary schools and to adult learners. His approach is conversation-first: getting you speaking from day one and making it a living language for all. He uses innovative teaching methods that ensure learning is engaging and progress can be seen each step of the way, regardless of level
Adam teaches every live cohort class personally, in small groups, so you get real feedback and real progress.
Sound familiar?
Many people learn Irish for years.And leave school unable to speak the language.
The way Irish is taught in schools does not work for everybody - grammar-first, exam-focused, and with almost no real speaking. If you have felt guilty about “forgetting” Irish, or embarrassed that you never really learned it, you are not alone. We built The Irish Hub for exactly that person.
- Grammar rules drilled until they stuck, but you never got to use them
- Thirty students, one teacher, no conversation
- A living language made to feel like homework
- Years of study, and still no confidence to speak a sentence
- Small groups built around real conversation from day one
- The same class works whether you're starting fresh or starting over
- Irish that sounds like a language people actually speak
- A qualified teacher in every live session, not a pre-recorded course
“Our learners tell us the same things, over and over: that there was too much emphasis on literature and rote learning with very little speaking but they always wanted to go back and learn it as a living language We built The Irish Hub for exactly that person. And for everyone who never had a class in their life but always wanted to.”
