Hi, I'm Edel, a passionate and experienced French and Spanish teacher from Cork. Having grown up in the south of France, I developed a love for languages and French culture from an early age.

I hold a BA in French and Spanish and a Master's degree in Translation Studies from University College Cork.

I offer French lessons at all levels, including Junior Cycle, Leaving Certificate Higher and Ordinary Level, and adult learners. I also provide Spanish lessons for beginners and Junior Cycle students.

My lessons are tailored to each student's individual needs, with a focus on building confidence, improving language skills and achieving their learning goals.

I have 6 years of French tutoring experience and 4 years of classroom teaching experience, working with students of all ages and abilities. I have also served as a State Examinations Commission (SEC) examiner, giving me valuable insight into exam requirements and marking criteria.

My approach to tutoring is supportive, engaging and tailored to each student's individual needs and learning style. I aim to create a relaxed and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes and building confidence in their language skills.

I focus on developing a strong foundation in grammar, vocabulary and communication, while incorporating exam-focused strategies and practical exercises where appropriate. Drawing on my classroom teaching and SEC examining experience, I help students understand exam expectations, improve their techniques and reach their full potential.
