A revision course over the school holidays: live classes in the subjects you choose, and supervised study in every other slot. A full day, 9 to 6.

Christmas: 28–31 December (4 days).
Easter: 29 March – 2 April (5 days).
Ormonde Hotel, Ormonde Street, Kilkenny. Directions
You pay per subject. Christmas starts at €199 (Leaving Cert) or €149 (Junior Cert). Full price list
No-quibble refund. We refund the part you haven't used. No forms, no questions.
The day is split into six slots of 70 minutes, with short breaks and an hour for lunch.
In each slot, several live classes run at the same time in different rooms. A top teacher teaches each one in person, to a group of students doing the same subject and level.
You pick one class per slot, or none. Any slot where you didn't pick a class, you go to the supervised study room and work on your own, in silence, with a supervisor. That's included in the price.
Each class you pick meets every day of the course, with the same teacher and the same group. That's 4 classes at Christmas and 5 at Easter.
Example: a 6th Year who booked English, Higher Maths (A) and Physics at the Ormonde Hotel, Kilkenny.
Every class is taught by a working teacher, hand-picked by Carl. Their names are in the timetable below.
Who teaches. Of the 18 classes in Kilkenny, Carl teaches 4 (Higher Maths A and B) and 9 are taught by Carl's own former students, now teachers themselves. Every other teacher is hand-picked by Carl.
Carl's own record. Carl has taught Leaving Cert Maths since 1992. In his own Leaving Cert class at school, 11 students got a H1 and one got 100%.
Who runs it. Revise is a family business. Carl founded it in Kilkenny in 2007 and has run this course every year since.
Your say. Every student gives us feedback at the end of every course. New subjects, times and topics have come from them.
It takes about two minutes, start to finish. Here's exactly what happens.
Tap the button for the course you want at the bottom of this page. Want both? Book them one after the other.
Each has its own button, so the booking page opens on the right timetable.
You'll see the day as rows, one row per time slot. Tap one class per row, and skip any row you don't want. Skipped rows become supervised study. The price updates as you tap.
Secure card payment through Stripe. You enter the student's name and email there. Nothing else to fill in.
The student and the parent each get an email with the student's pass, which has a QR code. On the first morning, the student shows it at the door and goes to their first class. That's it.
The same timetable runs at Christmas and at Easter, every day of the course.
Higher Maths A and B are two different classes on different topics, and most Higher Level students take both. Teachers for some subjects change between Christmas and Easter.
You pay by the number of subjects (classes) you pick. Supervised study is free in every other slot.
If it isn't right for you, just email info@revise.ie. We refund the part you haven't used. No forms, no questions, no quibble.
You also keep your full 14-day cooling-off right. Read the refund terms
"She found the Christmas revision course invaluable. She is already looking forward to the Easter revision course, which says it all!"
"Great structure to the day, a mix of revision courses and study time. Very sociable way to get some study done. I had one doing the Leaving Cert revision and the other doing Junior Cert. Both felt they got a lot out of it, the day flew…"
"The Christmas and Easter courses are also a really good way to stay in routine and the notes you receive are very valuable."
Both, in one day. The subjects you pick are live classes — a top teacher at the front of the room, teaching a group of students, in person. Every slot where you didn't pick a class, you're in supervised study, working on your own in a quiet room with a supervisor. 9am to 6pm.
No. Pick as many or as few as you like — one subject is fine. Every slot you leave empty is supervised study, at no extra cost.
Yes. A class you book meets once every day of the course, 70 minutes each time, with the same teacher and the same group — 4 classes at Christmas, 5 at Easter. Each day picks up where the last one stopped.
They're two different classes on different topics, not the same class twice — so a Higher Level student can take both and never repeat a minute. Most Higher Level students take both. In Kilkenny each one runs twice a day, so you can fit them around your other subjects.
Working Leaving and Junior Cert teachers, every one hand-picked by Carl Lynch. Of the 18 classes, Carl teaches 4 (Higher Maths) and 9 are taught by his own former students. Every name is in the timetable above.
Your own books, copies and a charged calculator, plus lunch or money for it. Phones are put away during class and study.
After booking, the student gets a pass with a QR code by email. It's scanned at the door, and the parent's copy of the pass shows the check-in times.
Book each one separately — it's the same two-minute booking for both.
Email info@revise.ie and we refund the part you haven't used. No forms, no questions, no quibble. See the refund section above.
An optional extra week of supervised study, 22–26 March (9 to 1 and 2 to 5), the week before the Easter course. You add it when booking the Easter course. It can't be booked on its own.
No — this is the holiday revision course. Revise also runs weekly evening study and weekly Maths grinds in Kilkenny all year; those are booked separately.
Press the button for your course and year. Next you'll tap your classes, then pay by card.
