About Áilill

My teaching style focuses on developing critical thinking, imaginative analysis, and clear verbal reasoning. I bring three years’ experience working at the European Youth Parliament as a debate coach and judge, where I trained participants in public speaking and selected candidates for progression to national conferences. I also teach Sociology and Criminology at the Centre for Talented Youth Ireland, which is a summer school for young adults who score in the 95th percentile of verbal and numerical reasoning. Lastly, I have taught over 1,000 hours of academic and professional English to young people and business professionals since receiving my TEFL qualification (168 Hours) in 2020.

Academically, I hold a BA in History and Politics from Trinity College Dublin, where I graduated in the top 1% of my class as a Foundation Scholar. I also hold an MSt in Women's Studies from the University of Oxford, where I was awarded the highly-competitive Clarendon Scholarship. I am about to begin a PhD at Trinity College Dublin, during which I will specialize in postcolonial analyses of contemporary Irish history.

I typically approach tutoring by engaging directly with students’ work. After an introductory discussion in which I assess the student’s needs, I proceed by developing their skills at the level of writing and focused analysis. Across my teaching experience, I have found it most valuable to engage a Socratic method in which the student is encouraged to read their work with a critical eye and become adept at identifying the strengths and weaknesses of any written text or verbal argument. This allows students to achieve progress through a process of strategic questioning and demonstration that does not simply showcase the appearance of advanced writing but enables them to understand why such writing is advanced and how they can achieve a similar quality across all academic assignments. Specifically, I work with students to develop their adaptability of thought, clarity of oral and written communication, precision of analysis, and critical imagination. I take a holistic approach that develops key skills for exam performance, essay assignments, seminar discussions, and Oxbridge interviews.

This approach is not only academically productive but encourages the learner to develop an independent sense of confidence. First and foremost, I believe in a communication style that is clear but gentle. I make it a priority that students feel affirmed, challenged, and respected. This is all the more important because tutoring adolescents and young people can have an outsized impact on their senses of self and which goals they set. My six years of teaching has allowed me to work with a range of ages and abilities, from young children to senior business professionals and students who present signs of ASD, ADHD, and SEMH. I have also worked with people of many nationalities and am sensitive to both cultural contexts and different academic requirements. Please note that I am DBS certified and can provide proof upon request.
