Introducing Breakthrough Maths

“Picture a class that moves at your pace, fits your schedule and shows your progress. That’s what we deliver, from the comfort of home”

How It Works

No Travel

Our online classes means no travelling after school! So much time is wasted getting to and from grinds. With Breakthrough Maths, you can do the class from the comfort of home.

Testing

We focus on testing, not lecturing. It’s all about active practice in class. It allows us to measure tangible outcomes for each student.

x4 Weekly Grinds

Breakthrough Maths students receive x4 Maths grinds each week.

We will cover x2 Maths topics each week. We get a lot more covered in our program. It’s comprehensive!

Choosing Tutors

We have selected tutors based on their ability to be engaging.

Keeping a child focussed for 50 to 55 minutes is the first step.

We ensure our tutors come from Maths backgrounds in college and that they enjoy teaching Maths. That commitment and consistency in class is really important.

“A boring teacher, is a bad teacher. It’s about engaging students and encouraging them to try, fail and try again “

or WhatsApp us.

We have a team working from 9am-9pm, 7 days a week.

What’s covered in class?

We cover 2 different topics each week, and students choose which ones to focus on.

Every Sunday, you’ll receive a text with the week’s plan. One topic will be more advanced, and we’ll clearly indicate which one. This method ensures we cater to students of all abilities.

Class structure?

A big benefit of our classes is the fact you can join any of the 4 classes we have on, Mon-Thursday. And everything is recorded too.

For example, for 3rd year students, class is at 6:30pm Mon-Thurs. Join any class, any evening!

The fact that we cover 2 topics per week means that you can really push your learning in Maths.

Pricing?

It’s €99 every 2 weeks, taken 3 times. Your total payment for the 10-Week course is €297. (Just €7.50 per class!)

You receive: 40 live classes, unlimited access to recordings and a bonus 3-day Easter course. For details visit our pricing page.

What’s unique about the grinds?

Our platform tailors to your child. We’ll be with them every step of the way through our live Classes, worksheets and notes, all accessible in the one place. It’s highly personalised.

1-1 grind?

It’s group Maths grinds. Students only interact with and engage with the tutor.

The tutor can interact with everyone in the class and make sure each child is engaged.

Follow the school curriculum?

A specific curriculum is made out for each class/year. We always start with Algebra for our Secondary School students, as this is their biggest challenge. We focus on problem-solving and the basics of numbers for our Primary School students. Our curriculum is made by qualified primary and secondary school teachers and state examiners.

Class duration?

Our classes are 45 to 50 minutes long. 

On Zoom?

Yes, all classes are on Zoom.

Equipment?

All you need is a piece of paper, a pen and ideally a laptop, iPad or phone.

Our Founder, TJ

TJ Hegarty

I really struggled with Maths in school. I hated being lectured to. I was lost in class.

In 2020, I set up Breakthrough Maths to help others solve the problems I had experienced.

We have gone from 8 students per week to over 3,000 per week. We have featured on the Irish Times, on The Pat Kenny show and even the 2 Johnny’s.

Maths is a skill. With practice, it becomes easier and easier to understand. A relatable, engaging tutor is what makes a difference.
