Our Staff

Each member of the Dorset College team is committed to ensuring that you have a successful course and a pleasant stay in Dublin. All of our teachers are University graduates with specialist TEFL qualifications to teach English as a foreign language. Many of our teachers have built up extensive experience over the years teaching both in Ireland and other countries.

Each tutor has been trained to understand the individual learning needs of participants. We prepare our lessons carefully and use a wide variety of materials to make the lessons as student friendly and interesting as possible. In short, we use whatever works in terms of helping the students become effective learners and communicators. Students will develop their communication skills with confidence, always working within a friendly, safe learning environment.

Audio-visual aids are used extensively to augment a multi sensory approach thus building a concrete foundation for further language learning and development. Regular reviews and constructive feedback will be given on a one to one basis along with monthly tests to help students develop specific areas of their communication skills that may need more attention. Normal class size is 12 with a maximum of 15 students per class so that individual needs can be met. Students come from all over the world to learn English at Dorset College.
