I have wide-ranging teaching experience including teaching for ten years in the German department at Trinity College Dublin.

I like to use the first lesson to assess where a student is at and what they are hoping to get out of the sessions. I then create a custom plan for the sessions which I agree with the student. Lessons typically last 55 mins. The first session begins with an assessment of the student's needs (whether that's exam preparation, or language learning for business or pleasure) and learning preferences and I develop a schedule of activities tailored to the student's specific requirements e.g. weak points of grammar, extension of vocabulary, oral communication in predetermined topic areas. Each session will cover the four key skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening as necessary. I give students the tools and confidence to further develop their own competence between sessions with focused short exercises that can be easily integrated into everyday life. I would be delighted to help you make the most of your own untapped potential for language learning! I have experience teaching all age groups, from babies (baby sign language) to older adults.

Deadly! I cannot praise Helen highly enough for the kindness, patience and professionalism that she showed during the lessons with my daughter. It made the world of difference, my daughter’s attitude to French changed entirely from finding it very difficult to walking out of her JC exam confident and happy with how she performed. I couldn’t have imagined the impact and improvement that Helen enabled. Highly recommend!!
Deadly! Helen has been amazing in helping my son with his Junior Cycle French, specifically in his oral work so far, he has really improved and got great results at the end of the school year.
- James is doing great. He listens well, works hard and is learning well!Helen's response :
