About Matty
3 years as a BA English and Art History student (first-class honours), a first-class MA achieved in Medieval and Renaissance English, 3 years of study towards a PhD in warrior women in Old English and Old Norse literature, and several years' experience as a postgrad tutor and seminar leader for the School of English in UCC. That is the expertise I bring to the table. On a less self-glamorizing note, I love trees, writing poetry about nature and old gods, and singing to my son.

Whether you are prepping for your Junior or Leaving Cert exams, struggling at college level, or in need of help with your spoken English, contacting me would be a great way to start progressing. I can help you develop your writing skills so that your prose is dynamic, detailed, and deft. I can help you "gut a text" for the author's subtle messages and maneuvers. I can help you write a story that ensnares the senses and entangles the emotions. I can help you present yourself and your ideas with charisma and clarity. I believe that ignorance is an opportunity for growth, not a value judgment. If you believe that you need my help, then get in touch and we can get stuck in :)

Perfect! I am a teacher myself and have taken Matty's help as I am moving to Ireland and want to improve my English and need help with interviews. Matty is great at teaching, always well prepared and knows exactly what his students need. He doesn't follow a pre-determined programme in his lessons, but adapts each lesson carefully to the needs of his students.
He takes a lot of notes and discusses his approach with his students in a transparent manner. The lessons themselves are characterised by lightness and humour, which makes learning with him effective and doesn't feel like a lesson at all. I can warmly recommend him for all age groups! Thanks again for the amazing lessons!- Viktoria has a good command of English and communicates clearly and precisely. Her main difficulty lies in trusting in her own English competency. We will work on easing her nerves and solidifying her confidence when presenting.See the response Matty :
Perfect! Matty has been helping us with English at Junior Cert level. He is reliable, knowledgeable, efficient and an extremely competent and gifted tutor.
My son enjoys their lessons together and feels the mentoring has been very useful for strategy, timing and planning in upcoming exams, not just in English but transferrable to other subjects too. He has also helped his confidence.
I have no hesitation recommending Matty and suggest you book him fast whilst he has spaces available and his rate is so reasonable!- Otto's writing is deft, crisp, and well-developed. He has an impressive vocabulary and has an excellent command over his sentences. Just needs to improve on working to the clock.See the response Matty :

Recommendations

My son likes the advice he is getting from Matty. We happy that we chose him for tutoring.
Matty was great at helping me with an English assignment. He gave great instructions on how I could improve the over all writing and grammar. I would highly recommend matty to anyone hoping to get help!
I have worked with Matty for several years in the teaching sphere and so I can attest to his qualities as a tutor. Having met and talked to a number of his students (of all ages) I can happily say that they have all found him to be very knowledgeable helpful and fun to work with.
I was lucky to have Matty as my tutor during my undergraduate degree in English. He was so knowledgeable, taking a really friendly yet informative approach to teaching. He really fostered in me a love of literature, specifically early-medieval literature and Old English linguistics, and equipped me for my future studies!
I cannot recommend Matty enough. Five stars!!! All I have is praise and gratitude for him for helping me to understand and review an English assignment I had for college . Matty took time to listen and find out what I needed and was so super in helping me. He didn't judge my writing when it was not up to standard but just helped me to get the understand and he is amazing at English. So I would recommend him to any level of English from leaving cert to PhD level. He is just so talented.
