Maths Grinds Mallow

With Project Maths beginning to settle, predictable trends are now being identified. We will show you the shortcuts to take full advantage of this. Each student will also receive a full set of notes, with solutions, which will be essential in improving exam grades.

Leaving Cert Higher Level
With 25 extra points being awarded for students sitting Higher Level Maths, we aim to maximise each students results, whether they are aiming for a H6 or a H1!

All our students receive excellent and professional notes. As our tutors are experienced correctors of the State Exams in Leaving Cert Maths, our students will also receive tips of how to avoid common errors, and increase their results.

With Maths being a core subject, most college courses require a minimum of a pass grade to get a place in their course.

Our classes teach every topic from the very basics, the whole way through, so as a result, they are suitable for students aiming for that O6 along with those aiming for an O1!

Our classes are designed to build confidence in each and every student. This confidence will reduce the stress that each student has regarding maths, and the results will then follow.

We aim to break down the language barrier from what is being written on the exam paper and what is being actually asked. As all our tutors are experienced correctors of the State Exams, we will give our students extensive practice and help on the past exam papers.

These grinds will ensure students get the most marks possible in a tricky, no-choice exam. Students will study questions from topics throughout the course, and will go home confident in the material covered.

Physics

Physics Grinds Mallow

In these grinds, we will break down Physics to its fundamentals. It will be shown that the Physics course is not as hard as students seem to think. With Physics being the shortest course of the three sciences, each student will get the course covered extensively with exam questions covered along the way.  The following topics will be covered:

-Light and Sound (Waves)
-Electricity (including
-Electromagnetism)
-Modern Physics
-Particle Physics (Option)
-Heat
-Mechanics
