| Content of lesson: |
The content of the lesson will depend on the individual student's standard of Irish and requirements.
Beginners will be advised on the most suitable textbooks and if they have already bought one the tutor may also have a copy of the very same text.
Where study of a short passage of conversational Irish would be appropriate the tutor will send a copy of the text to the student as an e-mail attachment before the commencement of the lesson. Audio files can also be supplied if required.
In addition to the one-to-one conversation periods access will be given to all the lessons and exercises on www.studybase.com/moodle without additional charge and reference will be made to particular grammar points explained there if appropriate. This access is only available to established students of Studybase who take regular one to one lessons via Skype.. |
