The Wicklow Way Tutorials Project was established in November 1999. In the past decade we have facilitated a vast array of Educational Exchange & Consultancy Projects. Integral to the project is the development of a range of dedicated language study programmes for individuals and small groups. The founder and Director of the project – Patricia Minton – is a university lecturer specialsing in European Cultural Studies & Modern Languages. Patricia is currently a teaching practice supervisor in modern languages for the Postgraduate Diploma in Education (TCD) whilst completing research towards a doctoral degree.
Languages currently available include French, Italian, Spanish, English (ESL) and Japanese. Programmes include individual tuition and/or group tuition for beginners/improvers and group tuition and/or individual tuition for Junior & Leaving Certificate preparation. Individual tuition is available on Wednesday afternoons/evenings. Small group tuition (maximum 8 students per group) for Junior Certificate & Leaving Certificate is available in two-hour sessions on Saturday mornings during the school year. Hourly tuition at other times is by arrangement. The project specialises in the provision of a range of modern languages and as such provides a 4-week Intensive study programme in English for International learners during the month of July each year with students accommodated in the village of Ashford in Co. Wicklow.
