About Daire
As a CELTA-qualified English language teacher with over seven years of international teaching experience, I bring both professional training and a genuine passion for helping students grow in confidence and fluency. I have taught in Spain, Canada, and Ireland, supporting learners of all ages and levels—especially those preparing for IELTS exams, developing Business English, or seeking to speak more confidently in everyday life. What sets my approach apart is the care I take in co-designing each lesson around your personal goals. With a Postgraduate Diploma in Innovation through Design Thinking, I use creative, student-driven methods that adapt to your pace and needs. I also hold a BA in Film and Screen Media, which adds a rich visual and storytelling dimension to my teaching. Currently, I’m pursuing a Master’s in Primary School Education, so I stay closely connected to the latest in pedagogy and inclusive teaching practices. I also speak some Spanish, which can help bridge the gap for beginners from Spanish-speaking backgrounds. I am committed to creating a learning space that is structured, welcoming, and empowering. Whether you are starting from scratch or fine-tuning advanced skills, I will meet you where you are—and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

My approach to tutoring is grounded in co-creation, empathy, and evidence-based pedagogy. I draw on my CELTA qualification (IH Belfast, 2017) and years of international experience teaching in Spain, Canada, and Ireland, with a focus on IELTS preparation, Business English, and general fluency development.
Each lesson is shaped around your needs—not just your level, but your goals, learning preferences, and real-world contexts. I bring in tools from my Postgraduate Diploma in Innovation through Design Thinking to co-design learning journeys that are adaptable, creative, and student-driven.
A typical session is 60 minutes, though I’m flexible depending on the learner’s needs. Lessons blend structure and spontaneity: grammar and vocabulary are embedded in meaningful use, often through conversation, role-play, or real-life tasks. I also use film clips, articles, and visual prompts—drawing on my BA in Film and Screen Media—to deepen comprehension and keep learning engaging.
My sessions are open to learners of all levels and ages, particularly:
Adults preparing for IELTS or work-related English
Learners seeking fluency or confidence
Spanish-speaking learners (I speak some Spanish myself)
Students who thrive in reflective, conversational environments
Currently pursuing a Master’s in Primary School Education, I keep up to date with current pedagogical research, which helps me scaffold learning effectively and respond with care to each student’s unique journey. Above all, I see language learning as a process of empowerment—and I aim to help you uncover the tools you already carry within you.

Daire is one of the best English teachers I’ve ever had. He has been helping me a lot with my IELTS preparation, while also supporting me with grammar with great patience and dedication.
His classes are always well prepared, dynamic, and even fun, which makes learning much easier and more enjoyable.
I 100% recommend Daire. He is truly an excellent teacher!Daire was my first English teacher in Ireland in 2022, and working with him completely transformed my language skills. Before starting his classes, my English was very limited, even after studying it in my home country for three years. In just six months of lessons with Daire, I made more progress than in all those previous years of study. I strongly recommend Daire to anyone who is truly committed to reaching a higher level of English.
Daire is a great English teacher! I was struggling on the IELTS writing test and he assisted me with patience. With his guidance, ultimately, I passed the exam. I highly recommend him for IELTS tutoring.
Excellent teacher — he prepares and adapts his classes to your goals. Plus, the class is very dynamic. 100% recommended.
I had the pleasure of learning from Daire during my time at CEW, where he was my English teacher for over a year. From the very beginning, his energy and enthusiasm made every class engaging and enjoyable. Grammar was always a difficult subject for me, but Daire had a special way of making it clear and fun to learn.
What stood out most was how he adapted his teaching to help me enjoy the learning process. He always found creative ways to explain things, and we practiced a lot after learning something new, which really helped everything make more sense.
Learning English wasn’t always easy for me, but Daire’s approach opened my mind to enjoy the experience while staying focused when needed. He’s a teacher I will always recommend, he truly loves what he does, and that makes a big difference when you’re learning a new language.Learning with Daire is like having a chat with a good friend — if your friend just happens to be a brilliant, witty, and endlessly patient English teacher from Ireland!
Every lesson was not only productive but also genuinely fun. He managed to keep things engaging and natural while still pushing us to improve. We loved the balance of structured learning, spontaneous conversation, and fun games — it really helped build our confidence.
Daire also emphasized the importance of pronunciation. Despite being the proud owner of a lovely Irish accent, he made everything clear and super helpful — especially for my rough speaking habits.
Even now, we still use the phrases and tips we picked up in our classes — and we even play New York Times games, just like we used to :)
Honestly, we miss those sessions a lot!
If you’re looking for a teacher who makes you feel at ease, motivates you, and helps you speak real, living English — look no further. You’ve found the one.View more recommendations
