About Agnes
I was born in Lewis, my mum is from the west of Lewis and my dad is from North Uist. Gaelic was my first language, and I grew up hearing it spoken every day at home, with two different island dialects. We moved to Skye when I was young, giving me a connection to and love for three different islands and dialects of the Hebrides.
After several years of not speaking Gaelic, I lost confidence in the language myself. Returning to Gaelic through my studies at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig brought me back to fluency and gave me a much deeper understanding of the grammar behind the language.
Because of my lifelong journey with Gaelic, I particularly relate to lapsed native speakers and people who grew up around Gaelic but never learned to speak it confidently. I also understand how frustrating the trickier points of grammar can be for those learning from scratch!
As Gaelic was my first language, I have a good ear for pronunciation and can help learners develop the sounds and rhythms that make their Gaelic sound more natural.

I’ve taught Gaelic to all ages and levels, from 3-year-olds, all years in Scottish Primary schools, to adults in evening classes and workshops, from complete beginners to advanced learners.
I also have 2 years of experience teaching high school students in different subject areas.
I also have lots of experience supporting neurodivergent learners, including people with dyslexia, dysgraphia, autism and ADHD, and I love finding creative ways to make learning accessible and enjoyable.
My teaching style is friendly, gentle, flexible and relaxed. We can focus on whatever you’re finding tricky, or work through a structured programme together. I am especially interested in helping people with pronunciation, helping parents with GME children who want to speak Gaelic at home. I love helping those who are already proficient expand their vocabulary and discover more native ways of expressing themselves.

I’ve been attending Agnes’s classes for a couple of years now and am enjoying my learning journey. Agnes has a relaxed style and while we follow a structured format, she supports the class flexibly when an area requiring focus arises or a student requests some further input on a particular aspect. I look forward to continuing toward my goal of becoming a bit more fluent with support from Agnes.
Agnes has been my Gaelic tutor for around four years and has been instrumental in guiding me from being a complete beginner to participating in her Advanced Gaelic class this year.
Agnes is a very patient teacher who is able to adapt to the differing needs of learners in her class(es). She does a great job creating an atmosphere of trust and support to allow learners to take risks with what they are learning & mistakes are gently nudged back in the right direction without judgement.
As a native speaker, her knowledge pf the language (and its various dialects) is excellent and I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone interested in learning Gaelic.
Agnes is such a warm and welcoming teacher. She creates comfortable and engaging lessons, and made me feel right at home all the way in America. She inspired me to have the confidence to further my Gaelic education and take more classes.
