Our exam-focused 6th Year Leaving Cert Irish grinds, which are delivered by an experienced teacher and state examiner, contain a MAXIMUM OF 5 STUDENTS PER GROUP. This allows us to provide personalised attention, feedback and support so that every student we work with can maximise their grades, grow in confidence and reach their full potential.
Higher Level: The focus for this term is on preparation for the mock exams. Students will practice exam paper questions for all sections of the Leaving Cert Irish exam (reading, writing, listening) and they will also engage in some exam preparation for the oral exam (worth 40%). Individual feedback will be given to students on all written work completed, including homework.
The Irish Oral Exam takes place between Saturday April 12th and Thursday April 17th. Our Oral Preparation Course is delivered by a highly qualified teacher who has extensive experience examining these important exams. Throughout the course, students cover all aspects of the Irish oral exam, including the straith pictiúr. They will participate in mini mock oral exams with the tutor who will give them personalised feedback on their strengths and areas to work on. Each week, students will receive comprehensive notes on the topics covered which includes sample questions and answers, useful phrases, and key vocab. This exam is worth 40% of students overall marks so doing well in this can make a significant impact on a students’ overall grade. Suitable for Higher and Ordinary level students as content and material will be differentiated for each level.
