The Super Generation has a team of highly professional facilitators who are passionate about supporting young people on their learning and life journey. Our facilitators are profiled below.

With a background in psychology and as a qualified psychotherapist, Ciara has taken part in research focused on enhancing the emotional wellbeing and safeguarding behaviours of second-level students in Ireland. She has worked one-on-one with students, addressing challenges such as study skills, school-related stress, relationships, mental health, and exam pressure. Passionate about student development, Ciara is dedicated to equipping young people with the tools they need to achieve their academic and personal goals, fostering a positive and supportive school culture.

Caoimhe is currently pursuing an undergraduate degree in psychology at UL. Caoimhe has a particular interest in research, social interaction and the development of humans throughout life.

As a Research Assistant within Super Generation Caoimhe is combining theory and practice in order to improve student’s experiences within the academic environment. Caoimhe's contributions focus on researching and interacting with students and educators to examine and improve the school experience. Caoimhe's background in psychology provides insight into how important wellbeing and development is towards student academic outcomes.

Since 2013, Ger has been an integral part of The Super Generation team, contributing to the delivery of impactful seminar content. Currently pursuing a PhD in Philosophy at UCD, Ger recognises the crucial role of self-discipline and work ethic in achieving academic success. His focus is on empowering students to unlock their potential and reach their goals in all areas of life. Driven by a deep belief in the transformative power of education, Ger is passionate about helping students to cultivate the right mindset. He has seen how raising awareness of this can lead to meaningful change. For Ger, teaching is a collaborative effort, where he gains as much from his students and colleagues as they do from him.

In 2022, Ciaran joined the Super Generation team, having previously served on the front line of policing for 32 years as a Crime Scene Investigator (CSI) with An Garda Síochána. With a unique backstory as a CSI and a natural ability to connect with people on an individual and group level, Ciaran delivers presentations and seminars that engage, entertain, and fascinate his audience.

His outstanding skills were recognised when he was invited to speak at the prestigious TEDx Tralee 2022 conference on October 6th. His talk, titled ‘Life Lessons From Dealing With Death’, chronicles his journey from a childhood fear of death to joining a job that exposed him to it on such a large scale over his 32 years of policing, and the valuable life lessons he learned from this experience.

In 2024, Brendan joined Super generation and has a wealth of experience of working with teenagers

having previously spent over a decade teaching Science and Maths to secondary school students.

Brendan has observed closely the unique challenges and obstacles faced by learners and believes

passionately that all students can maximise their unique potential if they develop the correct study

methods. He has observed closely the link between self-efficacy and positive career progression and

firmly believes fundamentally that student develop self-belief in tandem with learning effective

study skills to maximise individual progression.
