Classes
Our classes are divided by year group on all our summer courses. Our classes focus on the basics of the Irish language to include Irish grammar, Irish Oral and listening. Our teachers encourage ‘Excellence in Irish’ while preparing for exams and our students will return to their own classes in September with renewed vigour and confidence in Irish.
We aim to equip students with the comprehensive notes and advice that they need to succeed in the state exams.
