Anywhere in Ireland

Maths grinds, without the 40-minute drive.

Live classes twice a week, taught by Irish maths teachers from the State Examinations Commission marking schemes. It does not matter how far you live from a big town, there is no travel, and every lesson is recorded so a missed week costs nothing.

Seven days free. No card required.

Where you live stopped being the constraint

For most of the history of grinds in this country, the choice a family had was decided by geography. If you lived near a big town you had grind schools and a pick of teachers. If you did not, you had whoever was within driving distance, on whatever evening they were free, and you spent an hour in the car for every hour of teaching.

That hour matters more than it sounds. Two grinds a week with a 30-minute round trip is two extra hours gone from a week that is already full, and it is the reason a lot of arrangements quietly collapse in February. Not because the teaching was wrong, but because the logistics were.

Online removes the travel entirely, and with it the limit on how far away you can live. A student in Letterkenny, Skibbereen or Tallaght joins the same class at the same time, taught by the same person. The comparison worth making is no longer “who is available near us” but “is this actually good teaching”, which is a much better question to be choosing on.

What online is better at, and what it is not

Better online

  • Nothing is lost. Every lesson is recorded and indexed by topic, so the whole year is still there in April when it matters. A room you drove to leaves nothing behind.
  • Questions outlive the class. A discussion board means a question at nine on a Tuesday gets an answer, rather than waiting a week to be forgotten.
  • Written work travels. A photographed mock paper is marked and returned without anyone driving anywhere.

Better in a room

  • One difficulty, specific to one student. A teacher sitting beside a student, changing direction mid-sentence, is something no group class can quite match, ours included.
  • A student who will not engage. If the real problem is that no work is happening, another hour a week does not fix it, online or otherwise, and we would rather say so before a direct debit than after.

The seven-day trial exists because this is not a decision anyone should make from a marketing page. Sit in the class, watch a recording, and see which of the two columns above describes your situation.

Questions about learning online

Do we need to live near Dublin?

No. Every lesson is live online, so there is no travel and no limit on how far away you can live. A student in Donegal, Kerry or Wicklow gets exactly the same class at exactly the same time as one in Dublin.

What do we actually need to take part?

A broadband connection, any laptop, tablet or phone, and a pen and paper. There is nothing to install; lessons open in the browser from a link on the dashboard. Cameras stay off unless a student wants them on.

Is an online class really as good as sitting in a room?

For teaching the syllabus properly across a year, with every lesson recorded and searchable afterwards, online is straightforwardly better than a room you have to drive to. What a room does better is read the person in front of it, so classes here are kept small and questions are the point of being there rather than an interruption to it.

What if the lesson time clashes with training or another grind?

The recording is in the library the same evening, indexed by topic rather than by date. Students who miss a live lesson watch it back and ask their questions on the discussion board. Nothing is lost.

Are the teachers Irish, teaching the Irish course?

Yes. Every one of our maths teachers sat the Leaving Certificate here, and lessons are worked from the State Examinations Commission marking schemes rather than from a generic international syllabus.

Which counties do you cover?

All of them. Online means the only requirement is a broadband connection and being available at the class time, which is set in Irish time.
