About Niamh
My own experience with dyslexia has had a huge influence on the way I approach English. As a child, I found reading very difficult and struggled to connect with traditional ways of learning. Over time, with the right support and approaches that worked for me, I went from struggling to read to genuinely enjoying reading and English.
Because of this, I understand how frustrating English can feel when the usual methods do not work for you. I want to help other children discover that they can enjoy English too. I believe every child learns differently, and my goal is to find creative, encouraging ways to build their confidence, improve their skills and help them discover what they are capable of.

I am a qualified primary school teacher with over three years of teaching experience, and I have worked with children in a variety of educational settings, including one-to-one teaching in schools and providing home-based individual lessons.
I believe English should be enjoyable, engaging and accessible to every child. My aim is to meet each child where they are in their learning and build their confidence at a pace that suits them, rather than expecting every child to learn in the same way.
My lessons are tailored to each child’s individual needs, interests and learning style. Depending on what they need support with, lessons can focus on reading, writing, spelling, grammar, comprehension, vocabulary or building overall confidence in English. I use interactive activities, games, stories and practical exercises to make learning more active and enjoyable.
Lessons can be 30 minutes or one hour, depending on the child’s age, needs and attention span. Whether your child needs support with a particular area of English, extra practice with their schoolwork, or simply wants to become more confident, I will adapt each lesson to suit them.
My lessons are suitable for primary school children of all ages and abilities, as well as beginners of any age who would like to improve their English. My goal is to create a relaxed and encouraging environment where children can learn at their own pace, enjoy their lessons and feel proud of their progress.

We’ve had such a positive experience with Niamh. She has been brilliant at helping our child with their social skills and confidence, and we’ve genuinely noticed a difference.
Niamh has a very natural way with children. She makes them feel at ease and never puts pressure on them. She takes things at their pace and finds ways to help them understand and manage situations that they might otherwise find difficult.
Over time, we’ve seen our child become much more confident in themselves and more comfortable socially, which has been lovely to see. It’s the kind of support that makes a real difference, not just during the sessions but in everyday life too.
We’re really grateful to Niamh for all her support and would definitely recommend her to any parent looking for some extra help with their child’s confidence and social skills.We honestly couldn’t recommend Niamh highly enough. She was such a fantastic support for our child during the transition from primary school to secondary school.
She really met our child at their level, worked at their pace and took the time to understand what they needed. She helped build their confidence, understanding and belief in themselves, and made the whole transition feel much less daunting.
Our child has now moved on to secondary school, but we’re still in regular contact with Niamh and go back to her for sessions, advice and support whenever we feel it would help. That really says it all about how much we value her.
Niamh is warm, patient, encouraging and genuinely understands children. We’re so grateful for everything she has done and continues to do. She’s been a really important part of our child’s journey, and we’d absolutely recommend her to any parent.Niamh has been fantastic with my son. He needed a bit of extra support across a few different subjects, particularly because he can find it difficult to concentrate when he’s faced with lots of formal text and traditional schoolwork.
What I love about Niamh is that she doesn’t just stick to what’s in the book. She takes the time to find out what interests him and uses those interests to make the work more engaging and meaningful for him. She’s really good at finding alternative ways to explain things and, as a result, he’s much more willing to engage and give things a go.
She has such a lovely way of bringing out the best in him, and it’s been brilliant to see him enjoying learning more and feeling more confident in himself. We’re so grateful to her.I honestly couldn’t recommend Niamh highly enough. She worked with my daughter on both Maths and Irish and made such a difference to her confidence.
Niamh met her exactly where she was at and, rather than just using the usual teaching methods, she adapted everything to suit how my daughter learned best. She was so patient, encouraging and understanding.
Seeing my daughter move into her next class feeling happy, settled and confident instead of lost has meant so much to us. The change in her has been amazing. We’re so grateful to Niamh and would absolutely recommend her to any parent.View more recommendations
