Hi there, I‘m a post primary teacher for Maths and Applied Maths with more than 10 years of experience in giving grinds with a 100% pass rate so far!

I have taught in the Irish Education system now for 4 years teaching maths mainly but also teaching Computer Studies and Physics.

I usually talk to my students about what they feel to be the area/topic they struggle with the most or which they would like to start with.
If there are any tests/exams available, I ask for pictures to be sent to me before our first session, so I can review the student’s work and pin-point areas that need the most attention. While working on these topics certain habits or typical mistakes usually show and are then addressed.

The most important part for me is to make sure to create a calm and trusting environment in which every student can ask all the questions they might not have dared to ask in school.

I truly believe that everyone is capable of understanding Maths, sometimes it just takes a different approach to what was heard in class, some one-on-one time and a little confidence boost!
