Tutor Bio
Bonjour tout le monde ! / ¡Hola a tod@s!

My name is Katie and I am a passionate, qualified and experienced language teacher providing both online and face-to-face grinds to students of various levels.

I hold a First Class Honours degree - BA World Languages from University College Cork - where I specialised in French and Spanish. I have a strong academic background in foreign languages, having achieved top grades in both my Junior Certificate (JC) and Leaving Certificate (LC) exams, as well as in university language exams and I would love to have the opportunity to help you do the same.

As part of my degree, I have completed modules in teaching Spanish and French as a Foreign Language. This, combined with my personal success in all types of language exams and my 3+ years experience in helping students, has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to help you improve your language skills and the confidence to provide an excellent tutoring service.

I have lived in France and Spain for extended periods of time, giving me a deep understanding of both languages and cultures. I also grew up speaking French as I have half French nationality.

My tutoring sessions are designed to help you develop essential language skills such as speaking, reading, writing, and listening, as well as grammar and vocabulary. However, I customise my teaching style to suit each student's unique goals, levels and needs. All lesson materials are provided to ensure that you have everything you need to progress effectively.

Whether you're preparing for the Junior Cycle or Leaving Cert exams, want to improve your speaking skills, or simply want to learn French or Spanish for fun, I'm here to help!

All lessons are taught online via Google Meet. Rate: €35 per hour.

If you have any questions or would like further information, please don't hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you!

    Ahmadzai Akbari LC French (OL): Katie has been very helpful over the past two years. She has always been supportive and made sure that I’m doing my best at learning. Katie has taught me French exceptionally well, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

    Oisín Murphy LC French - After my mock exams last year, Katie was very helpful and really improved my confidence and exam technique, especially for writing opinion pieces. I improved a lot and would recommend her for French at any level. Thank you Katie! :)

    Lesley Katie is a brilliant French tutor. I noticed a big improvement in my son’s understanding after a few lessons. She is very friendly, patient and organised. The revision notes that Katie sent each week have been really helpful for him. Her communication with me regarding the lessons was always excellent and so kind. Merci beaucoup, Katie! We highly recommend her.

    Carla Katie is very kind and patient with students who may not be as confident in their French as others. She also sends you notes on which you didn’t know in the lesson back to you to revise after the lesson which I personally think is very helpful.

    Lisa JC French Grinds - Louise did not want to do grinds but after the 1st lesson she was very happy. She felt comfortable with Katie and learned alot. Thank you for all your help. Recommend 10/10.

    Mary My son (JC Spanish) and I were so glad to have found Katie. I thoroughly recommend her if you are looking for a tutor. From the get go she was quick to identify the areas that Mark needed help with. Katie gives clear and constructive feedback, giving specific things to revise and work on for the next session. Her communication is excellent. My son progressed and became much more confident, particularly in his writing skills (which is what he had been struggling with the most). Wish we had found Katie sooner.

    Emer Parent of 5th Year French Student: Thank you for all of your work with him. It has changed his whole attitude from a subject he wanted to drop in school to a language he’s enjoying and one of his more confident subjects. That’s a huge change. He has felt so comfortable with you and I am so grateful that you’ve removed that fear of the language he had at the start of the year. Merci beaucoup!

    Fionnuala O Malley 6th year French oral grinds. My daughter Alva found Katie’s tuition very focused, relevant and helpful. Katie helped Alva prepare her document for the French oral, which Alva had not covered in school. Katie's classes were engaging and enjoyable and Katie was always professional and warm in her interactions with both myself and Alva. I highly recommend Katie for French grinds, you won't regret it!
