Question 1

Which subjects do you cover?

Accepted Answer

Leaving Cert Maths, Junior Cycle Maths (Junior Cert Maths), and Leaving Cert Physics. All three use the same live Zoom teaching and mid-week support, fully online across Ireland. Book a free grind in the subject you need, then enrol monthly if it fits.

Question 2

How is this different from a weekly grind?

Accepted Answer

A typical weekly grind is one hour, then the student is on their own until next week. We add two live Zoom classes, or true 1-to-1, plus a worksheet and solutions, a plan of action you can see, WhatsApp help, quizzes, recordings on paid plans, and a parent dashboard.

Question 3

Is online as good as in-person?

Accepted Answer

Lessons are live on Zoom with a tutor and a whiteboard, not a recorded video course. Students can ask in class and on WhatsApp after. On a paid plan they can also rewatch the cloud recording. Book a free grind first and judge the teaching yourself, with no card details.

Question 4

Is the price per month?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You pay a published monthly rate per student, per subject, from €79 for Group Grinds, which includes two free grinds. There is no registration fee. December and January are three-quarters rate; June to August are unbilled. Mid-terms and Easter are charged at the full monthly rate. No break discount.

Question 5

What if I'm stuck on homework between lessons?

Accepted Answer

WhatsApp support and website tutor messages are available between lessons. Replies usually come in less than 24 hours; if not, within 24-48 hours. You can also use the anonymous group question box, browse the community question bank, or submit lesson preparation before class.

Question 6

Is the first grind really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Book a free grind with no card details and no obligation. Group Grinds includes two free first grinds; 1-to-1 includes one. Every booking includes the free pre-first lesson assessment. After the tutor confirms the slot you get signup links for a free student dashboard and a free parent dashboard: lesson prep, worksheets and solutions, and a post-grind quiz on each complimentary lesson. Recordings and the full paid portal unlock after you enrol. Monthly enrolment opens after your free grind or grinds are complete.

Question 7

What subjects do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Leaving Cert Maths, Junior Cycle Maths, and Leaving Cert Physics. Each subject uses the same three plan formats, support channels, and Parents/Guardians dashboard, fully online across Ireland via Zoom. Transition Year students can join Group Grinds at the level they are taking: Ordinary Level joins the LC OL Maths group (5th and 6th year together), and Higher Level joins the 5th-year LC HL Maths group. Repeat Leaving Cert students join the LC OL Maths group or the 6th-year LC HL Maths group, depending on the level they are taking. The LC OL group includes both 5th and 6th year students. We also offer University Level Grinds. Contact us if you would like an arrangement.

Question 8

What are the three plan formats?

Accepted Answer

Group Grinds (€79, two classes a week with two free first grinds), 1-to-1 (€179, one private lesson a week), and premium 1-to-1 (€359, two private lessons a week). Every plan includes a worksheet and solutions every class, a plan of action (personalised on 1-to-1; each Group Grinds class has its own), class tests throughout, and one exam-year mock. Pay monthly. Leaving Cert and Junior Cycle use the same rates.

Question 9

How is Group Grinds different from 1-to-1?

Accepted Answer

In Group Grinds, students learn together twice a week and share a group plan of action. Transition Year students can join Group Grinds at the level they are taking: Ordinary Level joins the LC OL Maths group (5th and 6th year together), and Higher Level joins the 5th-year LC HL Maths group. Repeat Leaving Cert students join the LC OL Maths group or the 6th-year LC HL Maths group, depending on the level they are taking. The LC OL group includes both 5th and 6th year students. In the 1-to-1 plans, the Zoom session is entirely driven by that student's needs, with a personalised plan of action, and exam-year mocks include personalised tutor marking.

Question 10

How is this different from a typical weekly grind?

Accepted Answer

A typical grind is one hour a week, then little help until the next class. We combine two live Group Grinds or true 1-to-1 with a plan of action you can see, WhatsApp rescue, website tutor messages, anonymous questions, post-grind quizzes, class tests, and a Parents/Guardians dashboard, so students do not stay stuck until the next lesson.

Question 11

Are all lessons online?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every live grind runs on Zoom for students across Ireland. WhatsApp, website tutor messages, question banks, lesson prep, recordings, resources, and the Parents/Guardians dashboard are included on every plan. Only the live weekly session format changes: Group Grinds or 1-to-1.

Question 12

Is the pre-first lesson assessment free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Completely free for anyone interested, alongside the free first grind. It is a required multiple-choice test split into topic sections that maps where a student is falling down in core areas such as algebra, complex numbers, calculus, probability and statistics, so the tutor knows their level before the free first grind. It is not a pass/fail exam. Students can mark N/A on topics they have not covered yet so those questions are not scored as wrong. It cannot be skipped or replaced with a school test.

Question 13

Can Parents/Guardians see progress?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Linked Parents/Guardians accounts have their own dashboard, progress updates, homework, pre-first lesson assessments, engagement statistics, lesson activity, and student questions. They can also WhatsApp the tutor.

Question 14

How does billing work?

Accepted Answer

Simple monthly pricing per student, per subject, priced across the school year. Same rates for Leaving Cert and Junior Cycle: from €79/month for Group Grinds (two classes a week, including two free first grinds), €179 for 1-to-1, or €359 for premium 1-to-1. Join any month. December and January are charged at three-quarters of the standard rate, and there is no bill at all over the summer. Contact us if your dates need a custom quote.

Question 15

Are there any hidden costs?

Accepted Answer

The published monthly price is the full price for that plan and subject: no registration, materials, or platform fee. Worksheets and solutions, WhatsApp, quizzes, class tests, and the parent dashboard are included as listed. One exam-year mock (3rd year, 6th year, Repeat) is included on every plan; personalised tutor marking is the 1-to-1 extra. You only pay extra if you enrol another subject or another child, each at the same published rates.

Question 16

How does monthly pricing work?

Accepted Answer

Each plan has a fixed monthly rate per student, per subject, priced across the school year. Billing renews on the 1st of every month. If you join later in a month, your first payment covers the remaining weeks only: full price in week 1, three-quarters in week 2, half in week 3, and one-quarter from week 4. After that, the full monthly rate applies from the next 1st. You can leave month to month; there is no long-term contract.

Question 17

Can I pay for the whole school year at once?

Accepted Answer

No. Enrolment is monthly so you can join any month and leave month to month, with no long-term contract. December and January stay at three-quarters of the standard rate, and June, July, and August are unbilled.

Question 18

How do I pay, and when does portal access start?

Accepted Answer

You pay on Stripe’s hosted checkout; card details never touch our website, and we hold no Stripe API keys. Stripe confirms the payment to us over a signed notification, so the portal usually unlocks within a minute or two and a confirmation email follows. Nobody has to approve it by hand.

Question 19

What about Christmas and the summer?

Accepted Answer

December and January are the only reduced months - charged at three-quarters of the standard rate because we close for Christmas (20 Dec 2026 – 3 Jan 2027). June, July, and August are not billed at all. After summer, restarting is entirely the parent's choice from their dashboard.

Question 20

Do lessons run during mid-term breaks?

Accepted Answer

There is no mid-term or Easter discount. Months are charged at the full monthly rate when lessons run. Group Grinds that continue through mid-terms and Easter: JC 3rd Year Higher Level, LC Higher Level 6th Year (including Repeat HL in that room), and the LC Ordinary Level group. Group Grinds that pause: 5th Year Higher Level (and TY in that room), and 1st or 2nd year groups when offered. All 1-to-1 plans continue through mid-terms and Easter.

Question 21

What is included in each plan?

Accepted Answer

Every lesson is one hour. Group Grinds (€79/month): two group classes per week, with two free first grinds. 1-to-1 (€179/month): one private lesson per week. Premium 1-to-1 (€359/month): two private lessons per week. Every plan includes a worksheet and solutions every class, a free pre-first lesson assessment, a plan of action (personalised on 1-to-1; each Group Grinds class has its own), WhatsApp rescue, quizzes, and class tests throughout. One exam-year mock is included in 3rd year, 6th year, and Repeat. 1-to-1 students send workings on WhatsApp for personalised marking; groups self-mark and go through it in the next classes. Leaving Cert and Junior Cycle use the same rates.

Question 22

Do Group Grinds and 1-to-1 both get a plan of action?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every plan includes a plan of action parents can see. On 1-to-1 it is written for that student. Each Group Grinds class has one shared plan for the group. Follow it from the parent dashboard alongside quizzes and lesson notes.

Question 23

How does support work?

Accepted Answer

Students can use WhatsApp support for homework rescue (send a photo of your working) and message their tutor on the website (replies usually under 24 hours, otherwise within 24-48 hours), ask anonymously in group lessons, browse question banks, complete post-grind quizzes, and submit lesson preparation. Linked parents and guardians have their own dashboard for progress, homework, and tutor feedback.

Question 24

What subjects are available?

Accepted Answer

We offer Leaving Cert Maths, Junior Cycle Maths, and Leaving Cert Physics. Published group times currently cover selected Maths years and levels. Transition Year students can join Group Grinds at the level they are taking: Ordinary Level joins the LC OL Maths group (5th and 6th year together), and Higher Level joins the 5th-year LC HL Maths group. Repeat Leaving Cert students join the LC OL Maths group or the 6th-year LC HL Maths group, depending on the level they are taking. The LC OL group includes both 5th and 6th year students. Other years, levels, and subjects can register interest for a group, or book 1-to-1. We also offer University Level Grinds. Contact us if you would like an arrangement.

Question 25

How are groups formed?

Accepted Answer

Students are grouped by subject, year, and level so everyone in the room is working on similar material. Transition Year students can join Group Grinds at the level they are taking: Ordinary Level joins the LC OL Maths group (5th and 6th year together), and Higher Level joins the 5th-year LC HL Maths group. Repeat Leaving Cert students join the LC OL Maths group or the 6th-year LC HL Maths group, depending on the level they are taking. The LC OL group includes both 5th and 6th year students. Published times are listed on the pricing page and on each Group Grinds class page. If a group is not running for a year, level, or subject yet, you can register interest. If a group is not the right fit, we will discuss moving to a 1-to-1 plan.

Question 26

What if a student misses a lesson?

Accepted Answer

Life happens. If a student cannot attend, let us know in advance where possible. We will help them catch up through lesson materials, support channels, and guidance on what to review before the next session. One-to-one students can often reschedule with more flexibility.

Question 27

Are prices per subject? What about multiple children?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every price on this page is for one student enrolled in one subject (for example, Leaving Cert Maths or LC Physics, not both together). Leaving Cert and Junior Cycle use the same rates. Enrolling two or more children, or more than one subject for the same student, uses the same standard rate for each enrolment. There is no separate family discount. Contact us if you need help setting up more than one enrolment.

Question 28

What if we only need grinds for part of the year?

Accepted Answer

Monthly plans have no long-term contract. Cancel from the parent dashboard and access continues until the end of the current billing period.

Question 29

Who will be teaching my child?

Accepted Answer

Eóghan Murphy leads Maths and Physics tutoring at Next Level Learning. You work directly with your tutor, not a rotating roster of unfamiliar faces.

Question 30

What qualifications do your tutors have?

Accepted Answer

Our tutors hold relevant third-level qualifications and specialise in the subjects they teach. Eóghan Murphy graduated from UCD with a BSc in Theoretical Physics, earning a 1.1 (first class honours), and achieved a H1 in Leaving Cert Higher Level Maths. You can open his degree certificate PDF on this page to verify those credentials.

Question 31

Can students ask questions outside of lessons?

Accepted Answer

Yes. That is central to how we work. WhatsApp support and website messages are available between lessons. Replies usually come in less than 24 hours; if not, within 24-48 hours. Students can also use anonymous questions in group lessons and browse question banks between lessons so they do not stay stuck until the next class.

Question 32

Do you teach both Higher and Ordinary Level?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Students are grouped by level and pace so everyone in the room is working on appropriate material, whether Higher or Ordinary Level Maths, or LC Physics.

Question 33

Accepted Answer

Yes. All lessons run live on Zoom for students across Ireland. You get the same interactive tutoring, whiteboard, and between-lesson support from home.

Question 35

How do you track grade improvements?

Accepted Answer

We track mock exam scores and final exam results (voluntarily reported by students). Our tutors identify weak areas and focus on these. All verified student reviews.

Question 36

What if my child is starting from a low grade?

Accepted Answer

Many of our strongest student stories start from H5 or below. Our tutors identify weak areas and focus on these, so improvement is targeted rather than overwhelming.

Question 37

Can parents and guardians see real progress, not just grades?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The parent and guardian dashboard shows homework completion, free pre-first lesson assessment results, progress updates, engagement statistics, and questions asked, giving a fuller picture than a single mock score. Tutors also identify weak areas and focus lessons on these.

Question 38

How long before we see improvement?

Accepted Answer

Most students notice increased confidence within 4–6 weeks. Measurable grade improvements typically appear in mocks after 2–3 months of consistent engagement.

Question 39

Do you guarantee a specific grade?
