A disciplined, supervised study environment and focused revision for Junior and Leaving Cert students, in Kilkenny since 2007.
"The maths grinds are second to none, and the notes are as good if not better than anything you'll find on Studyclix."
Most students don't fail because they can't learn — they fail because the environment around them won't let them. Phones, distraction, noise, no one to ask, no rhythm to the week. Revise was built to fix exactly that.
Supervised evening study. Expert grinds in the same building. A calm, structured place where the only thing on the table is the work in front of you. Run by Carl Lynch — a working Maths teacher, teaching since 1992 — in centres parents can see and trust.
Two things we promise: quality and time. And every student taking Maths grinds gets Mathslive, our full online maths platform, free.
Same clock. Not the same evening.

| Working alone | → | A room full of students all doing the same thing |
The work was never the problem. The room was.
Revise isn't run from an office. It's run by a man who has been teaching Leaving Cert Maths in a Kilkenny classroom since 1992, and who is still in that classroom every day.
He started Revise in 2007 because he kept seeing the same thing every September: students who could absolutely do the work, going home to an evening that made it impossible. So he built a room where it was possible — and then he taught in it himself.
He still does. Every Maths grind at the Ormonde is taught by Carl or by Gerry Walsh. Not by a graduate on a rota. Not by a video.
"I'm not here to be their friend. I'm here to get them the grade — and they know the difference."
Each programme runs on its own rhythm. They work alone, and they work better together.
Supervised evening study, Monday to Thursday, for 5th and 6th Year students. Structured study blocks, phones for school use only, a real room of students all doing their own work. Choose 2, 3 or 4 nights a week — pay per term or by monthly instalment.

I have Carl to thank for helping me get through LC higher level maths this year. Very worthwhile grinds for anyone who feels like they need things repeated a few times before it clicks. It was very appreciated how the grinds were never rushed. Great exam techniques and best approaches to questions were offered. Thank you!
I highly recommend Revise.ie. My daughter does maths grinds with Carl, which are brilliant. She found the Christmas revision course invaluable and is already looking forward to the Easter course, which says it all. She also loves the study classes — studying surrounded by others makes it a lot easier. Don't hesitate. Do it now to give your child the best chance of success.
Our daughter attended the LC revision course in TUS Athlone at Easter. She picked three subjects and was very happy with her experience throughout. Fingers crossed for the LC.
