Hola, I am Dervla.

I am a secondary school Spanish teacher with 18 years experience.

I have examined the LC Spanish oral exams for over 10 years. I have corrected the LC, Higher Level written exam paper for a number of years and continue to do so.

I have taught the JC and LC revision courses in The Institute of Education, Dublin. I have been guiding students for years to excel in their exams.

I offer, small group classes with a maximum of 6 students so all students get individual attention and feedback. I provide excellent, comprehensive, H1 standard notes. I give strategies and tips on how best to approach each section of the exam.

I have excellent feedback from both parents and students and my students achieve great results. I look forward to supporting and guiding your child to achieve their best grade possible in the JC or LC Spanish exam.

Dervla.

I got a H1 in Spanish. I was delighted with my result. Dervla helped me achieve my best grade in Spanish. Her notes were excellent. We covered the opinion piece that came up. She gave me excellent strategies for approaching questions. Her classes helped me to achieve success in all sections of the exam.

Dervla really helped with my Spanish oral exam. She provided very detailed, comprehensive notes for Spanish. I benefitted from all the grammar explanations and tips and my grammar improved a lot. I was very happy with the classes and my grade improved a lot.

Hazel (Dublin) -former LC student

Dervla gave my daughter online Spanish classes for a year. My daughter's grades at the time were a H6 and she was looking to drop back to lower level Spanish. My daughter stuck with HL for the LC and received a H2 and that is definitely thanks to Dervla. She helped and encouraged my daughter to speak Spanish and have the confidence to do so. I would highly recommend Dervla.

Spanish was not offered as a subject in my school. Dervla gave me 2 online classes a week and covered the whole curriculum with me. She explained everything clearly and made the lessons easy to understand, which really helped me to keep up with the course. I was very happy with my Spanish result. I would definitely recommend Dervla to anyone looking for Spanish grinds.

    My love for languages and cultures started early, and it has shaped not only my career but also my life. I hold a Master’s degree in Applied Linguistics for teaching Spanish, and since 2010 I’ve been helping students around the world fall in love with this beautiful language — whether at the Instituto Cervantes, in universities, or as an independent instructor.

    When I’m not teaching, you’ll probably find me dancing, exploring a new city, enjoying a countryside escape, or discovering local food spots (I’m a true foodie at heart!. I believe language learning is more than just grammar and vocabulary — it’s a gateway into the rhythms, flavors, and soul of a culture.

    I began my journey teaching in classrooms and lecture halls, as well as through early online lessons on Skype and Zoom.
