Dear Language Enthusiasts and Future Friends,
There’s something magical about the moment when a student first walks through our doors at Avril’s Language Centre. Perhaps it’s the warm Irish welcome, the friendly faces, or the excitement of beginning a new chapter in their language learning journey. Since 2001, we’ve had the privilege of witnessing countless such moments, each one as special as the first.
When I founded Avril’s Language Centre in 2001, I had a vision of creating something different from the typical language school. Having taught English for many years, I understood that true language learning happens when students feel comfortable, supported, and, most importantly, when they’re having fun. This belief has shaped everything we do, from our teaching methods to our carefully selected host families.
What sets us apart isn’t just our teaching expertise – it’s our commitment to treating each student as part of our extended family. When you join us, you’re not just another name on a register; you’re becoming part of a community that celebrates every small victory in your language learning journey.
Our junior summer camps have become somewhat legendary among our international community. For parents considering sending their 12-17 year olds to us, here’s what makes our camps special:
Living with an Irish host family isn’t just about having a place to stay – it’s about experiencing authentic Irish culture first hand. Our host families are chosen not just for their comfortable homes, but for their genuine interest in sharing Irish life with their young guests.
Learning English at Avril’s Language Centre means immersing yourself in Irish culture. Our location provides the perfect backdrop for combining language learning with cultural discovery:
Our teaching approach focuses on practical, real-world English. We believe in:
Learning continues outside our walls through:
What truly sets us apart are the memories our students take home with them. From impromptu singing sessions during break time to tearful goodbyes at the end of courses, these moments become part of their life story. Many of our students return year after year, and nothing makes us prouder than seeing familiar faces back at our door.
At Avril’s Language Centre, we promise:
Every year, we welcome students from across the globe who arrive as strangers and leave as family. Our doors are open to anyone who wants to improve their English while experiencing the warmth of Irish hospitality and the beauty of our culture.
As we continue our journey beyond two decades of teaching, our commitment to personal, quality English language education remains stronger than ever. We may have grown since 2001, but our core values of personal attention, quality teaching, and creating a supportive learning environment remain unchanged.
Whether you’re ready to begin your English learning journey or just have questions about our programme, we’d love to hear from you. Every great adventure begins with a single step – let yours begin with Avril’s Language Centre.
Welcome to our family!
Warm regards, Avril Toner Founder, Avril’s Language Centre
