What Our Students Say
Brilliant & fun lessons!
I loved my course! I can feel the spirit of Ireland and the people. I learned a lot and recognised a lot of what I saw in Irish people when I was there. And I improved my English!
Helped me so much!
Before I came to Ireland from Brazil, I knew very little about Ireland and Irish people. This course helped me so much to understand the culture and to prepare me for the real English that people speak in Ireland.
So interesting & informative!
These courses give you a great introduction to Irish culture & Irish life. Ian is an expert! I love his style of teaching and explaining. I recommend these courses for all language students who want to come to Ireland.
The classes are very entertaining!
I like the way Ian makes all students be confident about their English level, which facilitates you to
speak fluently.
You can learn a lot of Irish culture while you improve your English. He makes you want to know more
about the country and traditions, and to love all of that and Irish people.
I really appreciated his way of teaching
I really appreciated his way of teaching us with many examples and role games. He has a nice way of
linking real life with English Grammar and I still remember topics like talking about money with an
Irish person or his deep understanding of the Irish Culture.
I strongly recommend him as a teacher and I’m
happy for his new students!
Cheerful, kind and friendly atmosphere.
Ian always brings to the classroom a cheerful, kind and friendly atmosphere which makes the students relaxed and open. Ian knows how to teach and manage the class so well. So, the class is not only fun, but also well organised.
Ian’s classes were super fun
Ian’s classes were super fun and it was always easy way to learn. I loved the way he explained the
verbs. I understood that you can always find a way to express your ideas. I liked the humour in class
and also that he is very professional. The best teacher ever!
