Experienced Gaelic tutor of all ages and levels

Born in Ullapool, I was educated through Gaelic Medium, winning the Ullapool Fluent Gaelic Prize 2016, gaining Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award 2018 and a 200-hour volunteer Saltire Award, working with the museum to translate and discuss historical Gaelic texts. This aided my commitment to social responsibility that is central to my social vision.

I am currently studying a M.A. (Hons) level degree in Education and Gaelic at the University of Edinburgh, I have studied Gaelic language modules extensively: Linguistics and the Gaelic Language; Gaelic 1B, Gaelic 2B; The Celtic Languages (Gaelic revitalization), but I have also studied it with reference to education: Theory and Pedagogy with reference to Bilingual Education, Reflecting on Gaelic Medium Education and Education and Gaelic in Scotland. Furthermore, I have completed modules that have granted me an in-depth understanding of education: Education Studies 1a, 1b, 3 and 4 as well as Additional Support for Learning and Cognitive and Social Child Development in Education. Supporting this has been my multiple placements within three different Gaelic schools where I have been given the opportunity to teach Gaelic extensively therefore, I have an in-depth understanding of education processes, theories and pedagogical practices.
