About Matthew
Welcome.
As a highly qualified English teacher with over 20 years of national and international experience, I am deeply committed to helping every student achieve their full potential — with particular expertise in supporting students with additional educational needs.
For those preparing for class or exams, effective, structured preparation can make all the difference. My outcome-focused lessons are carefully tailored to each learner, ensuring clarity, confidence, and measurable progress towards their target grades.
Support includes:
Structured, scaffolded essay writing approaches
Clear visual frameworks and step-by-step modeling
Reduced cognitive overload through targeted instruction
Exam technique broken into manageable, repeatable processes
Confidence-building through predictable lesson routines
Strength-based teaching that builds on each student’s abilities
Lessons are calm, supportive, and highly structured — helping students feel secure while developing independence and academic resilience.
Experience from Within: An Edge in Exam Preparation
My experience extends beyond teaching into exam development and marking, providing students with valuable insight into how assessments are designed and graded.
Official Examiner – Experience examining Irish State Exams up to Leaving Certificate Higher Level.
Exam Creation – Involvement in designing written and oral examinations for the European Baccalaureate.
High-Stakes Curricula Expertise – Extensive experience navigating the demands of the Leaving Certificate, Junior Cycle, and European Baccalaureate syllabi.
This insider perspective is particularly beneficial for students who need explicit guidance on how marks are earned.
Proven Professional & Academic Experience
My background spans public education (including school development initiatives) and the private sector, ensuring a polished, professional service grounded in high standards.
Corporate clients have included global brands such as Louis Vuitton, Citi Bank, and Hewlett Packard, where clarity of communication and precision were essential.
A Methodology Focused on Understanding and Progress
My teaching approach is:
Student-centered and highly personalized
Rigorous but supportive
Focused on critical thinking and genuine understanding
Explicit in teaching exam technique
Support is available across:
Poetry
Drama
Comparative texts
Literary analysis
Narrative, descriptive, and persuasive writing
Lessons are interactive and dialogic, with clear, actionable feedback so students always understand their next step.
Specialist Support in Special Educational Needs (SEN)
A central focus of my practice is supporting students with additional learning needs, including dyslexia, autism (ASC), ADHD, and anxiety-related barriers to learning.
I understand that bright, capable students can struggle in traditional classroom settings — not because of ability, but because they need the right strategies.
Inclusive Support: Learning for Every Student
Every learner deserves to feel capable and understood. I am committed to providing inclusive, differentiated instruction that builds both skill and confidence.
Whether your goal is to secure a higher grade, overcome learning challenges, or rebuild academic confidence, you are investing in experienced, individualized guidance with a strong track record of results.
Reach out to discuss your academic goals and how we can work together to achieve them.

I provide specialized scaffolding and visual supports that remove barriers to learning, ensuring that your intellectual potential is never hindered by your learning profile.
Flexible Formats for Focused Success.
Whether you prefer the intensive focus of one-on-one sessions or the dynamic energy of small groups (2–4 students), each lesson is a high-expectation environment. We focus on clarity, meticulous feedback, and actionable goals.
Invest in a learning journey that delivers results. Book your introductory session today to secure your path to achievement.
