Experienced CELTA-qualified ESL teacher with 8 years experience offers IELTS, Business, and conversational English online or in Cork, Ireland

I have been taking classes with Daire preparing for my IELTS exam, it has been a great experience. He has helped me with everything I asked him. He is very well prepared, easy to talk to and I felt very comfortable, I recommend him 100%!!

Daire is one of the best English teachers I’ve ever had. He has been helping me a lot with my IELTS preparation, while also supporting me with grammar with great patience and dedication.

His classes are always well prepared, dynamic, and even fun, which makes learning much easier and more enjoyable.

I 100% recommend Daire. He is truly an excellent teacher!

Daire was my first English teacher in Ireland in 2022, and working with him completely transformed my language skills. Before starting his classes, my English was very limited, even after studying it in my home country for three years. In just six months of lessons with Daire, I made more progress than in all those previous years of study. I strongly recommend Daire to anyone who is truly committed to reaching a higher level of English.

Daire is a great English teacher! I was struggling on the IELTS writing test and he assisted me with patience. With his guidance, ultimately, I passed the exam. I highly recommend him for IELTS tutoring.

Excellent teacher — he prepares and adapts his classes to your goals. Plus, the class is very dynamic. 100% recommended.

I had the pleasure of learning from Daire during my time at CEW, where he was my English teacher for over a year. From the very beginning, his energy and enthusiasm made every class engaging and enjoyable. Grammar was always a difficult subject for me, but Daire had a special way of making it clear and fun to learn.
What stood out most was how he adapted his teaching to help me enjoy the learning process. He always found creative ways to explain things, and we practiced a lot after learning something new, which really helped everything make more sense.
Learning English wasn’t always easy for me, but Daire’s approach opened my mind to enjoy the experience while staying focused when needed. He’s a teacher I will always recommend, he truly loves what he does, and that makes a big difference when you’re learning a new language.

Learning with Daire is like having a chat with a good friend — if your friend just happens to be a brilliant, witty, and endlessly patient English teacher from Ireland!

Every lesson was not only productive but also genuinely fun. He managed to keep things engaging and natural while still pushing us to improve. We loved the balance of structured learning, spontaneous conversation, and fun games — it really helped build our confidence.

Daire also emphasized the importance of pronunciation. Despite being the proud owner of a lovely Irish accent, he made everything clear and super helpful — especially for my rough speaking habits.

Even now, we still use the phrases and tips we picked up in our classes — and we even play New York Times games, just like we used to :)
Honestly, we miss those sessions a lot!

If you’re looking for a teacher who makes you feel at ease, motivates you, and helps you speak real, living English — look no further. You’ve found the one.
