Hi, Welcome back!
Testimonial
Student Grá
I started going to danielle for grinds in 5th year as I had a very poor standard of irish and inorder to study Occupational Therapy at the University of Ulster I needed a H3 in irish which at that time was completely unachievable for me. Starting grinds I had zero confidence in my irish but through the whole two years Danielle encouraged me and made me more confident in my ability to speak irish, she is very passionate about what she does and it shows. She always put me at ease by making the grinds fun and something to look forward to rather than something to dread which i found so helpful. There is no way I would have gotten the result without danielle and I will always be grateful for her time and care she put in over the two years. Thank you!!

I started grinds with Danielle at the beginning of sixth year as I needed a H4 in Irish to study primary teaching, I really struggled with Irish during fifth year so I did not think I was capable of this. Every week I looked forward to grinds and became more confident with both my written and spoken Irish with every session. Danielle was incredible at motivating and encouraging me to work hard throughout the year which I am very grateful for! I ended up getting a H2 in the exam which I could not have done without the help of Danielle!

My son went to Danielle for grinds in 6th year and his result was a testament to the fantastic work she done with him. He was immediately at ease when he started in a very relaxed and friendly environment. Together with her kind and witty personality she made the grinds fun and enjoyable.
Her sample answers were excellent and she simplified difficult questions/answers so easily.
No question was ever too big or too small. He was so well prepared for his Irish oral by going over topics and questions until he was confident.
The support and encouragement she gave him coming up to the Leaving Cert instilled a great confidence and belief in himself, which I have no
doubt helped him obtain his fantastic grade. I can't recommend Danielle enough. She is an amazing teacher.
