Finnbar is an excellent English tutor. He is very enthusiastic, knowledgeable, approachable, friendly and deliveries each lesson in a very high standard. He is always very well prepared for the sessions and knows how to keep a student engaged throughout the session. The communication during the sessions has been outstanding - he explains the task, asks the student's opinion/answer, listens to the answer, encourages the student even if the answer is wrong, explains how to do, what strategies to apply, gives examples, gives time to the student to work independently and then they analyse the work together. My 13 years old son absolutely loves and enjoys the English sessions with Finnbar. We are also very pleased with the sessions. We can already see the progress in our son's English level and he has only had 4 sessions with Finnbar. He has been brilliant in tailoring the lessons to my son's learning needs which has been such a huge support for our son. I would definitely recommend Finnbar as an English tutor.

A question from Sherpa to Finnbar...
NOTICE: I have just re-opened up my availability for Sunday morning and Tuesday at 4pm only. Please only reach out if these times suit you. My name is Finnbar and I am an enthusiastic, qualified English teacher and examiner. I was teaching in a secondary school until 2022 and have now moved my work online. I pride myself on delivering top quality sessions that are tailored specifically to the needs of each individual. I grew up in the south of England, but have sinced lived in Spain and the Carribean. I love travelling to new places and learning about them from within the community. It has also meant that I can chase one of my passions - surfing. I have surfed in 4 different continents, and counting! A highlight has been running a weekly surf program for kids in the Dominican Republic, where I got to see them develop their skills, confidence and passion. Thanks to my background in Psychology, I hope to train as an Educational Psychologist in the future. With this background and this aim, I approach every interaction with a young person positively and respectfully. Any moment of a lesson can be a moment of learning, whether it be educational or personal. I aim to be a positive, reliable adult in the life of every young person I meet. This is informed by my personal philosophy and my formal education and training.
