Our Story

Our story began over 30 years ago with a passion for language and cultural exchange. Today, sisters Una and Nessa proudly continue this tradition, bringing their wealth of experience and dedication to education.

Una, a lifelong teacher and avid traveler, studied at the University of Limerick, earning a degree in language teaching. Her career has taken her to schools in Ireland, Argentina, Morocco, Bahrain, and the UK, fueling her deep passion for language and education. Una shares her love of language learning with her students in a practical, fun and engaging manner.

Nessa has been teaching English for the best part of 20 years. She honed her teaching skills working in academies and summer camps in Spain. Since her return to Ireland she’s developed a strong connection to community life. She thrives on creating welcoming, immersive experiences for students, ensuring they feel at home while learning.

Together, they bring their love for language, culture, and people to life, offering enriching programs that connect students to Ireland in a truly meaningful way.
