Paddy has been our tutor for the past few weeks an he has been a wonderful help with my daughters progress already. He is organised and scheduled and is so knowledgeable on the subject. Paddy is kind and has a wonderful teaching style. I would highly recommend him as a tutor.

Tríona's feedback about Cian (University History tuition near Kilcullen)

Cian's tutoring has been very helpful and thorough. He has zoned in on what I was anxious about and has been of massive help to me.

Natalie's feedback about Anouchka (Primary History tuition near Kildare)

Anouchka has been a great mentor to my partners daughter in History & French. She designed a study programme for her to be more organised which gave her much more confidence with her studies and exams. She put her at ease from the very first meeting. Would highly recommend!

Lisa's feedback about Cormac (Senior Cycle History tuition near Bray)

Cormac is an excellent history teacher, it is clearly a vocation and not just his job. His enthusiasm and passion for the subject is thankfully rubbing off on my 6th year student who is energised and interested in history following her grinds. Thank you Cormac! LW

Stefan's feedback about Siobhan (Senior Cycle History tuition near Clane)

I was struggling in History and Geography due to the vast amount of information in each, Siobhan helped me focus and understand the course thoroughly. Siobhan also took the time to correct my essays and inform me as to where I could improve. These lessons left me more confident for the leaving cert exams, which I feel I excelled in. I highly recommend Siobhan as a grinds tutor for those looking to achieve a better grade.

Laura's feedback about Cormac (Senior Cycle History tuition near Celbridge)

Cormac is organised, punctual, helpful and knowledgeable and is easy to relate to, we are very happy with the LC history grinds he is currently giving my son.

Louise's feedback about Aoife (Junior Cycle History tuition near Bray)

Wow! I really feel like we struck gold with Aoife. She is super personable, and immediately gives you a sense of comfort. Her manner is calming and approachable and she is a breath of fresh air. I instantly knew she was right for my son who has difficulties in concentration and self confidence. He doesnt even complain about her coming to us. I just wish she taught more subjects! My only criticism is that Aoife doesnt charge enough! I offered to increase her rate because shes so great. I.think that says it all. You will be so happy you found her, trust me

Kevin's feedback about Áine (University History tuition near Cork)

One word to describe Aine as a tutor: excellent. Several reasons why I found her tutoring so useful: Knowledge and expertise: Aine had a deep understanding of history and demonstrated expertise in their field: unsurprising as she has a PHD in this subject. She was well-prepared for each class, provided clear explanations, and is able to answer questions effectively. Passion and enthusiasm: Aine is passionate about her subject and conveys that enthusiasm to their students. I would go as far as saying that her passion is contagious! Communication skills: Aine has excellent communication skills, and makes difficult concepts seem simple. Dedication: Aine is dedicated to her students' success. Personalised approach: Aine takes a personalised approach to teaching, adapting their methods to cater to individual students' strengths and weaknesses. Feedback and assessment: Aine provides regular feedback and assessment on your progress -> highlighting areas of improvement and acknowledging your achievements. Her feedback is always constructive, specific, and motivating, helping you to grow and develop as a third level student. Overall, I could not recommend Aine highly enough. Moreover, her rates are exceptionally reasonable. 10/10. Kevin Ó Tuathaigh, UCC History Student.
