Tutor Profile:
Patricia Nic Eoin
Patricia Nic Eoin has worked with some of the biggest names in language learning, including the Michel Thomas Method and the Olly Richards Language Learning Series, and has been teaching Irish to adults for over five years. Drawing on this extensive experience, Patricia developed Structured Irish, a unique and practical methodology designed to help learners speak Irish with confidence.
Structured Irish focuses on understanding the structure of the language rather than memorising rules or vocabulary. By devoting a little extra time to learning how Irish works, learners build a solid foundation that clears up much of the confusion often experienced with other methods. The approach incorporates songs, poems, and practice conversations to help students internalise the sounds, rhythm, and flow of Irish naturally.
A qualified solicitor, Patricia has also worked with TG4 and the European Commission in Brussels, where they were involved in translating legal documents into Irish. In addition, Patricia has written a series of children’s books in Irish and translated numerous titles from French and English.
