Irish Grinds
Grades up. Stress down.
Irish is a core subject—but for many students, it feels like the most confusing. Leah’s Irish grinds take the fear and frustration out of the language, replacing them with clarity, structure, and genuine confidence.
-
Speak with Confidence for the Orals
The Irish oral makes up 40% of the exam. Leah helps students prepare with calm, consistent practice that builds fluency and confidence. From sraith pictiúr to general conversation, they’ll walk into the exam knowing exactly what to expect—and how to deliver.
-
Grammar + Vocab That Actually Stick
From the Modh Coinníollach to An Aimsir Chaite, Leah breaks Irish grammar down into manageable, understandable steps. No more guessing, no more memorising without meaning—just smart, practical strategies for real understanding.
-
Reading, Writing & Listening Sorted
Students learn how to structure essays, expand their vocabulary, and make their writing stand out. Leah also teaches proven techniques for tackling the listening and reading comprehensions—key areas where marks are often lost.
Tailored to the Student’s Needs
Some students need help catching up. Others want to go from an O4 to a H2. Leah adapts every session to the student’s level, learning style, and goals. This is grinds that work—not a one-size-fits-all.
