About Ryan
My name is Ryan, and I’m a professional editorial journalist with a passion for the English language and literature. I have extensive experience analyzing texts, writing clearly, and helping others communicate effectively, skills I bring directly into my tutoring. I specialize in guiding Leaving Certificate English students to achieve their full potential, using clear explanations, structured lesson plans, and exam-focused techniques. My approach is tailored to each student’s strengths and challenges, ensuring they build confidence as well as competence. I take professionalism seriously: lessons are well-prepared, punctual, and focused on measurable progress. My goal is to make English accessible, enjoyable, and rewarding, so every student feels supported and prepared for their exams.

I focus on making lessons practical, engaging, and tailored to each student’s needs. For Leaving Certificate English, I break down complex skills such as essay writing, comparative analysis, and poetry interpretation into clear, manageable steps. I use past papers, marking schemes, and sample answers to show students exactly how examiners award marks.
Techniques and methodology:
Step-by-step guidance on structuring essays and developing strong arguments.
Active practice with real exam questions and marking schemes.
Clear feedback on written work with suggestions for improvement.
Confidence-building strategies so students feel ready to walk into the exam hall.
Lesson Length:
A typical lesson is one hour (online or in-person). For students preparing for exams, I recommend a weekly session to maintain steady progress, with the option of longer or more frequent lessons closer to the exams.
Qualifications/Experience:
I hold a master's degree in Journalism and have professional experience as a writer and journalist, which gives me strong expertise in language, analysis, and communication. I am currently preparing to undertake teacher training to qualify as a secondary school teacher.
Who the lessons are for:
Leaving Certificate Higher and Ordinary Level English students.
Senior Cycle students seeking structured exam preparation.
Junior Cycle students who want to strengthen their writing and comprehension early on.
