Teaching Approach

We teach students from 3rd class to 6th year. We focus on teaching through testing.

Each class students complete 15 questions. We track their progress and text you their results.

With an engaging tutor and a solid plan, your childs results steadily improve.

“Picture a class that moves at your pace, fits your schedule and shows your progress. That’s what we deliver for students, from the comfort of their home”

About Our Classes

Online Classes

Our online classes let students learn from home. No boring Zoom lectures – this is an immersive class where students complete up to 15 questions a class.

Class Testing

We focus on testing, not lecturing. With live results, our tutors pinpoint where your child struggles and gives extra attention where its needed.

1-1 Style

In our live classes, its just your child and the teacher – no distractions, no judgement. Your child can ask questions freely and we monitor their progress closely.

Progress Reports

After each class, you will get a text with your students results so that you can see their progress each week. We will track how many classes they attend and how much they are improving each week.

Sharon Savaille

The best Maths grinds for my child. We did the short crash course before my daughter’s junior cert papers, which I feel gave her that extra confidence she needed.

Aindrea Kelly

Would recommend for anyone who needs help with Maths. Very impressed with the service. Great that the classes are online and recorded in case you can’t attend a class.

I really struggled with Maths in school. I hated being lectured to. I was lost in class.

In 2020, I set up Breakthrough Maths to help others solve the problems I had experienced.

We have had an amzing journey. We have gone from 8 students per week to over 2,000. We have featured on the Irish Times, on The Pat Kenny show and even the 2 Johnny’s.

Maths is a skill. With practice, it becomes easier and easier to understand. A relatable, engaging tutor is what makes a difference.
