Name: Patrick Riordan

Hourly Rate for 1 to 1: €40

Lesson Type: Online

Subjects: Italian & Spanish

Leaving Cert and Junior Cert lessons for both Italian and Spanish. 6 years experience in preparing students for both JC and LC alongside university grinds with a result-based approach. My students have all come to me on different timelines and with different needs. I teach a variety of students from all over Ireland. Some have started Italian or Spanish with me outside school in first year and have gone on to do it for LC. I have taught students who study the subject in school and those who don't, acting as an assisting tutor for those who want to sit the JC or LC but don't have the option of studying Italian or Spanish in their schools. I have also taught students in preparation for university level exams, and I am able to explain tricky grammar concepts in simple and comprehensible English. A 2018 graduate of International Languages (Italian/Spanish) in UCD. Friendly and approachable tutor who has lived and studied in Italy and Spain. Extremely familiar with the Leaving Cert cycle (Italian) in which I got an A1 in 2014.

My tuition style depends on the student I am working with. I keep things simple and can explain grammatical concepts in simple English. If I feel a student can go further, I will push them to do as well as they can.
