Highly creative and experienced German tutor with lots of ideas

Aidan has been my German teacher for 5 years and he is by far the nicest and best teacher I have ever had. I thoroughly enjoy our online one-to-one lessons. I look forward to the lessons and always come away happy, confident and speaking more german instantly. Aidan has a great way of making the lessons interesting with current and topical articles and exercises. And Aidan teaches grammar through memorable phrases which makes it relevant, easier and extremely interesting! Every class is different and unexpected. Thanks Aidan!

I've been learning German with Aidan for about 9 years, which says a lot about how great he is as a tutor. He's friendly, reliable, always has interesting and varied lessons prepared, explains complex topics and grammar in ways that are easy to understand and memorable, and adapts to focus on areas where I need more practice. What's more, he is very knowledgeable about a wide range of topics and has plenty of interesting stories to tell!

I would highly recommend Aidan for language learning. He has been my German teacher for several years now and has managed to continue to support my interest and enthusiasm for learning the language after all this time. He has a very personable and tailored approach to his teaching, getting to know what my goals are and identifying educational content that he knows will be of personal or professional interest to me. The varied materials he uses are aimed at the right level to challenge enough to advance my language learning without being too daunting. His infectious passion for languages consistently comes across in lessons and his knowledge of Dutch, Irish gaelic, French and Polish (among others) add interesting discussion points.

I have always found Aidan to be a fantastic teacher of the German language. I have taken lessons with him for over 9 years, and enjoyed his online approach in the last 5 years. He has a great enjoyment and knowledge of German, both language and culture, and passes this on, with enthusiasm, to his students in a very clear way. Over the years Aidan has built up a large collection of his own content and material, from many sources, which he is able to use when teaching a class. This means he does not need to stick to the typical textbooks. He continues to look for new ways of presenting lessons, including intensive courses and occasionally producing his own audio notes, to help review a lesson and the pronunciation of any new words. I would highly recommend Aidan, whether you are starting to learn a language or need a refresher.

I have been taught by him for 15 years, and I can say he has been reliable throughout. As a home tutor, he always gives me a true reflection of my progress, and I really appreciate the way he creates his own learning materials, often choosing topics that are interesting and relevant to me. He is always well-prepared for our sessions, and his patience is remarkable—no matter how many times I forget a translation, he never loses his calm. Over the years, my grammar has improved significantly thanks to his guidance. He is also very flexible with scheduling, and whenever date and time issues come up, we always manage to find a solution that works. Overall, I find his approach to teaching clear, effective, and supportive. I couldn’t ask for a better tutor."

Aidan is a brilliant German teacher - I would recommend him to anyone wanting to learn German, as a beginner or more advanced. His deep knowledge of the language and joy in teaching come through in every lesson. He uses a really wide range of materials, all tailored to the needs of the individual student - no boring text books. Highly recommended.

I’ve been taking English lessons with Aidan for some time now, and I can honestly say he is one of the best teachers I’ve had. He is a friendly and open person who is always willing to help improve both spoken and grammatical English, without ever coming across as a “strict teacher.” His lessons are always enjoyable to follow, and he creates a supportive atmosphere that makes learning both effective and pleasant. I would highly recommend Aidan to anyone looking to improve their English skills.
