English tutor and former nurse specialised in providing Medical English for medical professionals. My experience in both the medical field and teaching English allows us to focus on medical topics with ease- a tutor who 'gets it'.
Hello! My name is Sinéad. I am a native English speaker from Ireland. I am a TEFL-qualified English tutor. I also have a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing and a Master's Degree in Health Sciences (Palliative Care).
I am passionate about teaching English to healthcare professionals. I worked as a nurse for 5 years in Ireland so my experience has helped me greatly in supporting non-native English speakers to feel more confident in the English-speaking healthcare environment.
What to expect
In the trial lesson, we’ll make a plan for our lessons. I’ll share the resources and topics I have available, as well as discussing your ideas, preferences and requests. Through this, we can be sure that the lessons are personalized to you. I make sure our lessons are dynamic and interesting, with lots of feedback so that you know what you are doing well and what we can work on during the lessons.
Potential Topics for the lessons
Every student is unique, with their own goals and personal challenges. Through these private lessons, we will work on your English level in an individualized way. For example, if your goal is communicating with healthcare professionals and patients in the hospital setting, we can focus on a lot of speaking activities, role plays and building your medical vocabulary. If you are struggling with certain grammar points, I design lessons to help you better understand and practice those. I make sure all corrections are written down during the lesson so that you have a record of these mistakes, which makes it easier for you to review and improve.
General English topics can, of course, be included (there’s more to life than work after all!).
So! I encourage you to book a 30-minute trial lesson so we can get to know each other and make a plan! Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions about my schedule, the booking process or anything else! I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
All the best,
Sinéad

"I’ve just had class with Sinead and it has been very useful and enjoyable. She provides a lot of medical terms and general conversation. I am sure I will learn a lot with her!"
Sinéad is a great teacher and person to have a conversation with. I enjoy every single lesson with her. It's great that she has also experience with medical English. She checked very carefully my needs on our first session and often did updates. Sinéad is always prepared for our lessons and has a few options for me to choose. I improved my vocabulary and feel more confident in English now. I highly recommend lessons with her!
I was looking for a native English speaker teacher to help with my pronunciation, and I found Sinéad. My motivation to start lessons with her was also the possibility of practicing technical terms and medical vocabulary to feel more confident in having conversations at work. I highly recommend Sinéad as your English teacher. She is friendly, patient, and can also help you feel comfortable speaking English with native speakers like her.
Sinéad is amazing, she helps reaching your goals with specific and agreed lessons. She also helps you improve your vocabulary and pronunciation during the conversation . I totally recommend her, especially if you are also interested in the medicine area
Sinéad is a fantastic teacher. Prepared, friendly and precise. I was looking for a tutor with a medical English background and she is perfect. Every time we discuss about what could be useful for my needs and she provides me all the necessary. Strongly recommended!
