About Ronan Scott

Hey! I’m Ronan and I am from a small town called Sligo. If you are ever in Ireland, check it out and make sure to go for a surf.  I have been teaching English as an additional language since 2013.

I began my English teaching career in Norway and have worked in countries like the Czech Republic, Spain, Ireland, and now Canada.   I completed my Master of Arts in Education in 2021 and feel what I have learned in the past two years of studying combined with my prior experience of teaching English has equipped me with more than enough skills to create a solid learning platform in every class I have. For me, having a community of learners is essential and that is why I always want to help create a classroom community and help foster independent learning.  

When I’m not teaching, you might catch me up some mountains, or sipping coffee by a lake, or maybe just wandering trying to find a secluded camp spot for a night.
