Reviews
Lorraine Kavanagh, Swinford, Co. Mayo.
''I am delighted to have obtained a place on the Hibernia Primary Teaching course after attending Fluentfocus.ie Irish grinds. Máire was flexible and provided professional tailored notes in each lesson. Her approach was personal and encouraging. I feel my Irish has hugely improved since attending Fluentfocus.ie grinds and I feel much more confident using my Irish in a primary teaching capacity''.
