Why these grinds work

Two teachers. One subject. The whole course.

Maths grinds at Revise are taught by two working teachers. Carl Lynch has been teaching Leaving Cert Maths since 1992 — over thirty years in the classroom — and has run Revise since 2007. Gerry Walsh has twelve years of teaching experience and takes the 3rd Year weekly grinds, plus the 6th Year Ordinary group at the Christmas course.

The schedule is simple: one grind per week, every week, for 34 weeks of the school year. No gaps. No padding. Every topic on the syllabus covered before the exam — and the ones that come up most often, covered twice.

Every grind runs live each week. Can't make it in — a match, an away game, a late finish? Join the same grind live from home. And every grind is recorded, so anyone out sick can watch it back the same week. No-one falls behind.

September schedule

When each year meets.

Each year has its own dedicated class. All grinds are in Kilkenny, running inside the evening study window so students can stay in the building. Book your year below — it takes you straight to enrolment.

How booking works

Tap Book on your year. You'll go to secure Stripe checkout to pay for the term — about two minutes. Straight after, you'll get your free Mathslive notes and an email confirming your class access. Once you're set up you'll get every live class, weekly reminders, and the recordings.

Important — sign up with the student's own email, not a parent's. That email is how the student gets into class and the recordings. If a parent's email is used by mistake, the class access ends up in the wrong inbox.

Extra grinds added when it matters

An extra grind a week when the exams get close.

In the final six weeks before the exams, every group steps up to an extra grind a week — 3rd, 5th and both 6th Year. And the 6th Years get two more on top: one grind before Paper 1 and one before Paper 2, the weekend each paper falls. No extra cost — all included.

Included with every grind

Every grind comes with Mathslive, free.

Every Revise grinds student gets free access to Mathslive.ie, our complete online Maths platform — and it follows the grind exactly. Every topic taught in class is written up online too: full notes, worked examples, flashcards and exam-question practice.

So a student can revise the week's grind at home, go back over a hard topic the night before a test, and lean on it right up to the State exams. It's the grind on demand — free for as long as you're with us.

Frequently asked

A few things parents and students ask.

What if my child misses a grind?

Every grind is recorded. Students can watch back the same week — laptop, tablet, phone, however they want to. No-one falls behind because of a school trip or a sick day.

Can students join after September?

Yes — a student can start at any point in the year. Every grind already covered is recorded, so a late starter watches them back and catches up quickly. Get in touch and we'll work out the cost for the part of the year that's left.

Can the grind be combined with Evening Study?

Yes. The grind runs inside the evening study window, so students stay in the building. Combining the two is what the Study + Grinds options are designed for.

What does "the whole course covered" actually mean?

Every chapter on the State Examinations Commission syllabus, taught in class, before the exam. Not "we'll see what we get to." We cover it all — and the high-frequency topics get extra time.
