Below is a parent testimonial from one of my students parents

“My daughter started online Irish grinds with Ellen in February of this year, before this she was feeling  anxious and worried about her upcoming Junior Cert exam and felt there really was no way she could possibly pass it.
However after taking grinds once a week from then on with Ellen right up until her exam she was feeling much happier and more confident going into it.

It turned out that she actually enjoyed her Junior Cert Irish paper, managing to get through it all comfortably and this was all definitely down to Ellen’s grinds and how well prepared she had her for it.
She throughly enjoyed every grind and found Ellen brilliant for explaining things that she had struggled to grasp in school in a way that she could understand.

I could go on and on about how good Ellens grinds are but I think the best testament to them is that my daughter of her own accord has asked could she carry them on through her upcoming transition year, something I honestly never thought id hear.

Ellen was a tremendous help to our daughter and has definitely given her back her Grá for Gaeilge.”
