Our Teaching Approach

We teach students from 8-18 years old. We focus on teaching through testing.

Each class students complete 15 questions. We track their progress and build their profile.

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 GCSE Maths progress. That’s what we deliver for students, from the comfort of their home”

The best Maths help for my child. We did the short crash course before my daughter’s GSCE math Exam, which I feel gave her that extra confidence she needed.

TJ, Our Founder

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.
