Arguably the most important exam one does in one’s life – the Leaving Cert, is a challenging exam. Maths grinds with MathsDoctor will increase the chances of excelling in Leaving Cert maths.
Maths grinds with MathsDoctor will certainly increase the chances of excelling in Leaving Cert maths, whether higher or ordinary level. 1-to-1 and group classes are available at both levels whether you’re in Dublin or any part of Ireland.
The focus is to help your child achieve the highest possible grade in Leaving Cert maths. A big part of this is done by doing (and getting them to do) exam questions. The more exam questions a student does before the Leaving Cert, the better they’ll do in the Leaving Cert. Here is a sample video of how the lessons normally work:
With 1-to1 classes, lessons are tailored to suit the student but with group classes, I follow a set schedule. It varies slightly from year to year but generally it follows the following schedule (not an exhaustive list)
From a technical perspective, the only bit of software one needs to have installed in order to do online grinds with MathsDoctor is Skype. You don’t even need a camera! The tutor and student can hear each other through the voice aspect of Skype and the student can see everything the tutor writes on the virtual whiteboard, the link to which is sent to the student at the beginning of the lesson. Do check out the short video above to see what it’s like.
The group classes work in a very similar way to the 1-to1 lessons from a technical perspective. Each student needs to have Skype installed and the link to the virtual classroom is sent to each person. No details of others in the classroom are sent to anyone to protect everyone’s privacy and again, you don’t need a camera! Everyone can hear and see what the teacher is writing on the whiteboard. Do check out the short video above to see what it’s like.

Hearing success stories from previous clients always warms my heart. Here are just some of the many success stories previous clients have happily written for me

Hello, I’m MathsDoctor, a physics degree holder with 18 years of experience tutoring and teaching maths, applied maths, and physics. I’ve helped thousands of students throughout Ireland with these subjects, from primary to university levels, in both individual and group settings. My A1 (now H1) in Leaving Cert maths shows I know what’s required for top grades.
Maths captured my interest early on—I was tackling fractions by age 6 or 7 and loved its real-world connections. Early mastery simplifies things later, but maths can be learned at any point with effort.
For many, maths is a tough subject, but each student has their own strengths. With grinds and commitment, they can address weaknesses and boost confidence. I work to create an encouraging, upbeat atmosphere to make learning maths engaging and effective.
Of course, the earlier you start with grinds, the bigger the difference they’ll make but as they say, better late than never! While it is advisable to start as early as possible, it is still possible for a student to make an enormous amount of progress within a short period of time.
Yes, I offer both. The vast majority of people are doing it online with me from all over Ireland, but I do offer in-person. To enquire further about in-person, contact us through the Contact page.
As many as you want! (Provided there is availability).
I can’t give specific advice without knowing more – but you will get bonus points for doing Leaving Cert higher level maths as long as you achieve at least H6 in the exam. It’s always an incentive to do higher level, but whether or not you should do it depends on your circumstances.
The priority is making sure you stay on top of what you’re covering at the moment in maths in school, so we focus on that. If that is going okay, I normally cover a topic you’ve had difficulty with before, which you’ll usually decide upon.
Certainly, as long as you can concentrate well and put the work in, in between grinds. It’s so important to do the work I set, to maximise the benefit you’ll get.
