Emma & Patrick

Emma began her teaching career at St. Louis Senior Primary School in Rathmines, where she taught 2nd to 5th class.

In 2019, she co-founded Spellings for Me to address this gap, combining her passion for education with technology to create a truly personalised spelling programme.

Patrick’s experience as a teacher at Bishop Galvin National School in Templeogue, where he taught 3rd to 6th class, led him to understand the importance of tailoring spelling lessons to meet the needs of every student. In 2019, he co-founded Spellings for Me with the goal of creating an interactive spelling curriculum that would help teachers deliver engaging lessons, while supporting students in their individual spelling journeys.
