Guidance Appointments (For Second-Level Students)

Empty classroom with rows of wooden desks and chairs, green walls, and windows letting in natural light.

Helping students from Transition Year through Leaving Certificate make confident, well- informed choices about their subjects, courses and future careers.

Choosing the right subjects and planning for college can sometimes feel overwhelming for both students and parents. With the right support, it becomes an exciting opportunity to discover strengths, explore interests, and open up future possibilities.

I provide one-to-one educational guidance to young people and their parents. Together, we explore who the student is, their interests, learning style, values and goals and connect these to real subjects, study paths and careers.

A free consultation call is available before arranging a session, providing an opportunity to discuss individual needs and ensure the best approach.
Sessions are held in my D18 office, and parents are invited to join towards the end.

  • Helping students choose Leaving Certificate subjects with clarity and confidence.

    For Transition Year students deciding on their Leaving Cert subjects, this session helps them explore their strengths, interests and goals through a mix of discussion and assessment activities chosen to suit their needs.


    Together, we look at:

    • Personal interests, learning styles and future goals

    • Subjects needed for particular college or career pathways

    • How subject choices connect to entry requirements and future opportunities

    Students leave with direction, confidence and a clear understanding of how their subject choices shape their next steps.

  • For 5th and 6th year students preparing for their next step to university, PLC, apprenticeship and another routes.

    We review results, explore interests and create a personalised shortlist of courses.

    Students leave with insight into their best-fit options and a clear understanding of how application systems work.

  • For students who have already attended a session and want further support.

    Sometimes, extra clarity or reassurance makes all the difference. In this session, we build on previous work, refine goals and address any new questions from CAO order of preference to subject challenges, college offers, or motivation.

    The session is completely tailored to what the student needs most at this stage.


    To arrange a follow-up, please get in touch, mentioning when you last attended and what you would like help with.
