What students & parents say

Is múinteoir den chéad scoth í Ms. Shovlin. Chun a bheith macánta, ní doigh liom go bhfuil múinteoir cosúil léi sa domhain ar fad. Is múinteoir cineálta, tuisceanach agus chomh cabhrach í. Rinne sí an difríocht dom maidir leis an Ardteistiméiteacht agus le mo chuid ama sa scoil go ginearálta. Dhéanfadh sí aon rud chun cuidiú a thabhairt leis an dálta, agus míníonn sí gach rud go soléir. Mholfainn í go hard na spéire.

My feeling towards learning Irish changed completely after working with Pamela. She made learning Irish interesting and removed a lot of the stress by linking everything instead of learning things off by heart. She had me extremely prepared for the Irish Oral and I went in feeling confident and ready which I never thought possible. I would never have achieved the H1 without her.

Pamela turned a subject that my son had a mental block with to a language he enjoyed learning. Her preparation for the Irish Oral was brilliant. Anyone that gets to work with her in the run up to the Leaving Certificate is very lucky.

Ms. Shovlin is an exceptional Irish teacher. I was struggling with Irish and wanted to move to Ordinary Level. With Ms. Shovlin, I achieved a H2 in my Leaving Cert, including 97% in my Oral. She has such a knack for making the Oral easy and I would recommend her to any student.
