Perfect! Knows the material needed for preparing for Hibernia Irish interview. Very helpful.
Perfect! Excellent at communication & patiently explain each word to better understand how to speak correctly. Even with a country barrier between us, he was able to work with my time zone schedule.

Perfect! Shane is a very good tutor. Very patient and helpful. I look forward to continuing Irish lessons with Shane.

Perfect! Great tutor, very helpful! Will be booking another Irish lesson with Shane
Perfect! Irish is not an easy language, but Shane was really patient, well prepared and adapted the lesson to suit my needs. Shane has a clear passion for the Irish language and it makes it a more positive experience. He provided lots of vocabulary and encouraged me to speak and pronounce words a lot. I fully recommend Shane as a tutor.
Perfect! Shane knows his stuff. His class is engaging and he is very good at teasing out what I know and what areas I need to work on.

I did Irish grinds with Shane for the past 3 months in the lead up to my Hibernia interview. Shane was so helpful and really knew his stuff about what was needed for the Hibernia Interview prep. I always found lessons very beneficial and tailored to me personally. Would highly recommend Shane to anyone of any age looking to learn Irish.
Shane was a miracle worker when it came to improving my irish grammar. Could not recommend someone better!
I did 1:1 french grinds with Shane throughout 6th year. Shane broke everything down and focused in on the oral , written and comprehensions separately. I got a H4 in the mocks and with a lot of help from Shane, I got a H1 in the leaving cert. Shane is kind, helpful and always responds to texts quickly. Shane also gave me some notes for my Irish leaving cert even thought I wasn’t doing grinds with him in this subject at the time. I would highly recommend Shane for any help for upcoming exams with both Irish and French.
Definitely a 10/10 in my opinion for french, very patient, amazing at helping with oral work and gives excellent notes. Couldnt have asked for a better tutor really.
Shane was a brilliant 1:1 tutor for my Irish leaving certificate. He was patient and broke everything down for me. I would definitely recommend.
Shane is by far the best person to get 1:1 grinds off, he has a serious desire for all his students to do well, he was always available on whattsapp for all questions and would always respond within seconds, he would go above and beyond for his students. Shane’s zooms calls were always very organised and efficient, he always delivered an excellent standard of Irish. I now feel comfortable having a conversation in irish without doubting myself. Shane gave me irish grinds for the hibernia but even went out of his way to make sure I was prepared for the English part of the interview, I passed the interview first time and thanks to Shane I can now pursue my hibernia career.
Shane provided French grinds to my son (1st year)who was finding French very difficult and falling behind in class . After the first lesson there was immediate improvement and we continued the lessons for a number of weeks until my son was confident and as capable as his peers and is now enjoying French. Shane provided notes for revision after all classes. I would happily recommend Shane as a tutor.
I took grinds with Shane to prepare for the Irish portion of the Hibernia interview. Shane was patient, knowledgeable and professional. I recomend Shane to anyone wishing to improve their Irish especially in a short time frame.
I did French grinds with Shane during sixth year. He helped me improve my oral French significantly, as well as grammar and written pieces. His notes were always very helpful and clear. He always adapted the lesson to focus on what I needed. He improved my French in all areas throughout the year.
I did French grinds with Shane throughout sixth year and started off with poor french. His notes are all very clear and really helped me to understand the language . He explained everything clearly and it gave me a lot more confidence going into the exam in June. I would really recommend Shane for french grinds.
I really enjoyed having Shane as a Tutor, he was direct and clearly indicated and taught me how to do well in the Lc exam. Along with this he is easy to get along with. Would highly recommend
Shane really helped my daughter with grammar, improved her listening and gave her the confidence she needed to use and develop her language skills. Michelle, Galway.
I started taking lessons with Shane to improve my (very basic) French, I’m learning so much with him, his lessons are tailored for what i need, he’s very easy going & patient and he fits classes around my schedule. I would highly recommend Shane as a tutor.
I have been doing Irish lessons with Shane the last few months having come across his profile on superprof. He is a very good tutor and I would recommend him to anyone looking to start learning Irish
Shane helped my son for his junior cert exams. My sons grades improved dramatically and this was definitely attributed to the weekly grinds with Shane. Shane is committed, diligent and encouraging. I will be asking Shane to tutor my other kids for sure when they get to that age.
Shane was a great help with my Irish for my leaving cert, 100% recommend
Shane is an excellent teacher. We engaged Shane through classhub.ie. He has helped our kids, 7 and 9, both go from extremely basic Irish to second-class level within about 8 sessions. Even more impressive given the 9 hour time difference. I highly recommend Shane if you're looking for an experience Irish teacher
Shane is an excellent tutor, I’ve wanted to learn Irish properly for ages. I can speak Irish almost fluently now. Shane breaks down the grammar rules in a very simple and understandable way, and gives meaningful work that will help develop language, speaking and listening skills in a time-efficient manner. I’ve learned ten times more than I did in my six years of secondary school Irish lessons and I can speak to someone in Irish now with little issue.
Shane has worked patiently and steadily with my son, motivating him and providing excellent tuition in both oral and written aspects of the Irish LC with great success. He also provided helpful exam techniques and vocabulary and I would have no hesitation in recommending him. Thanks Shane!
I highly recommend Shane. He is excellent, professional and very well prepared. He managed to both teach the criculum and give my daughter confidence in herself. The difference in her moch results and more importantly to me the absence of stress leading up to it was amazing. She is very well prepared now for her JC and actually looking forward to showing off what she knows. I can't stress how lucky we were to have found Shane. Thank you!
Shane’s been my Irish language tutor for almost one year, and he is simply outstanding. He is incredibly patient and thorough, and he has a true gift for teaching - and it’s so clear he loves his work. He can take the most odd and complex grammar rules and make them digestible and cleverly fun. I’ve had many tutors over the years for various subjects, and Shane’s head-and-shoulders above them all. I look forward to our weekly lessons. Outstanding!
My son Eric started 1st year in September and after a difficult first term with french we started grinds with Shane in January. Eric's become more confident in the subject, Shane has great patience and Eric found his manner and teaching style very helpful. We plan to recommence the grinds in September and strongly recommend Shane as a tutor.
