25 years experience

I couldn't be happier with Sean as our tutor for English. He is very reliable and punctual -- not always the case with private tutors -- and his way of simplifying the subject and focusing on exactly what the exam questions require mean that English has really come alive for my daughter. She feels much more confident and clear about how to proceed now under Sean's guidance. He is also highly skilled and effective in helping her study her other subjects for all the hours that she (or I!) would like her too. I would strongly recommend him to any other family.

I can only agree with the other comments here. My daughter began making real progress in English after her very first lesson with Sean, and has continued to do so. Not only have her marks improved dramatically, but she is also showing an enthusiasm for the subject that was seldom there before. In addition, Sean has helped her greatly to organise her studies for all her other subjects, making sure that she puts in the hours required and, even more importantly, making these hours as effective as possible.

Sean is the English tutor every Leaving Cert student wants. Sean is both extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He is always enthusiastic and willing to help. Thanks to Sean my confidence in the subject has improved immensely. His positive style of teaching has managed to make English one of my favourite subjects. I would definitely recommend Sean as a tutor for any student who wishes to get an H1.

Sean really is a terrific English tutor. I like the way he focuses completely on the exams, showing me precisely what’s needed to achieve full marks across both papers. He also marks work in more detail than any English teacher I know. I can highly recommend him.

Sean is a wonderful teacher, he is experienced and really knows how to teach my son. He is patient and has his technique of getting the student engaged. I am impressed.

Sean is great! My daughter was good at English but struggling to get high marks leading up to the Leaving Cert. Sean set her on the right track with great advice and guidance. He made an immediate difference to her grades. She now has full confidence in getting a good mark in June.

He is a good tutor and has helped Sarah to understand the subject better.

I would highly recommend Sean as an English tutor. My son is currently preparing for his Leaving Cert English exam and finds Sean a great help. Sean helped my son by building up both his confidence and competence by completing a detailed analysis of the course content and explaining it in an easy to learn way. Sean also focused on exam preparation and how best to structure and answer each question type. Sean corrected my son’s work and provided detailed feedback. Sean has built up a great rapport and has hugely motivated my son. Sean has been reliable, organised, punctual and a constant professional throughout. Thank you Sean!

Sean has given my daughter English grinds since April. He has been professional and punctual. He has encouraged my daughter to be more engaged with the subject by increasing her confidence and providing valuable advise on how to approach exam questions. I would definitely recommend Sean as a tutor, only wish we found him sooner!

Inspired and inspiring are only two of the great characteristics of this tutor. The proof of the pudding… is that my Leaving Cert son is beaming broadly after each lesson and is keen to continue out to the end of summer and beyond. It's one thing to know your specialist subject and quite another to infect others with a passion for that subject. My rating - 10 out of 5 … if I could.

Gus' English results have improved by 20% since Sean has been tutoring him. Gus' has more confidence in his ability and will continue Seans English grinds for 6th year. Sean is a great English tutor and a mentor to Gus.

Sean gave honours English grinds for leaving cert to my son this year. He was very reliable, extremely hard working and very clear and concise. His tuition and feedback was top class and I have no hesitation in awarding him 5.

Sean is a wise man of his word, and has a genuine interest in seeing people succeed and be productive. He uses clear techniques and explains his fool-proof methods thoroughly. He knows the English State Examinations game very well and has analysed the system with eagle-like precision which enables him to provide a marker's viewpoint and get top marks. Be warned though; he has quite a tendency to inspire people to be the best versions of themselves both in and out of the exam hall. With him as a tutor, you will not be misled.

Excellent teacher. I would recommend him.

Excellent service. I have learned many things which allow me to use my time in the exam more efficiently and score as high as I possibly can that I never would have been taught in school. The English Leaving Cert exam poses a much smaller threat to me now.

Sean is an excellent tutor who has not only helped me to immensely improve my academic writing, but to actually enjoy it. He is extremely reliable and has NEVER cancelled a session. I would highly recommend Sean to anyone who is really keen to learn because he is very dedicated.

Sean is an excellent Tutor, he currently is helping my son with Leaving Certificate Higher Level English . My son is now much more confident and is achieving high results in house exams. I would highly recommend Sean to any student looking to improve their English capabilities and results.

Has a very good rapport with his students. Very reliable and honest

Our son started English tuition with Sean in October and finds him fantastic. Sean is very clear and inspires confidence. Our son is really impressed with Sean’s in-depth knowledge of the leaving cert curriculum and his ability to impart that knowledge seamlessly. We would highly recommend Sean.

Sean is an excellent tutor. He is very thorough and has real insight into the Junior Cert English course and exam requirements. My son has found him to be very motivational and Sean has really encouraged him and increased his enjoyment and understanding of the subject. Sean gives detailed feedback, which is clear and comprehensive. I did wonder whether tutoring online via skype would sufficiently engage my son, and have been pleased to find that Sean is very well set up for online tutoring and that this mode of tutoring is convenient and engaging, and works smoothly. I am very glad that we have Sean as an English tutor for our son.

One of the best tutors our sons have ever had.

We are delighted with the progress our daughter has made under Sean. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

We are very happy with the job that Sean is doing. Kayla's teacher in school has commented on much she has improved at English.

Sean inspires confidence in his students and our son is making great progress under his guidance.

Sean is a truly fantastic English tutor and helped me achieve an H1. He knows the Leaving Cert course inside-out and in particular, what exactly is required to obtain that coveted H1. He removes any vagueness and ambiguity to do with the exam, yet at the meantime instills a great appreciation for the subject in the student. I would highly recommend Sean to anybody who is aiming for top marks in their LC English exam.

Sean has an excellent approach which instills self-confidence. Very professional and flexible.

We're very happy with the quality of tutoring that Seán is providing for our son. I can already see an improvement in Shane's grammar and sentence structure. It's clear to us that he puts a lot of effort into preparing for each session. We're perfectly happy to continue to work with Seán for the betterment of our son.

My son finds Sean's tutorials excellent.

Excellent. Niamh is amazed by how much she has learned in two weeks. If you are looking for the best English tutor then Seàn is the person. Cannot recommend him highly enough.

Sean tutors my son Cathal. We find him to be an excellent tutor. He is highly motivated and ambitious for his students. He is very precise in his lessons and is very clear on what he wants to achieve. Time keeping is also very important to him and it is full on from the minute the lesson starts. We recommend him highly.
