The ‘Breakthrough’ Approach
We teach students from 2nd class right through to 6th year. Our approach is about teaching through testing.
Students do on average 15 questions in a given Maths class. Students results are tracked each week. We text parents the results directly after the class so you can keep up on your child’s progress.
The grind is led by an engaging, 600+ point tutor. Do a 45-min class each week, complete your worksheet, follow our curriculum plan, and watch your results climb!
“I found Maths hard in school myself. Now, with our technology, we will make it more engaging and easier for your child to learn.”
-TJ Hegarty
Breakthrough Maths Founder
How It Works
Online Classes
Our classes are online. Students can tune in right from home through a link that we send out via WhatsApp. This is not a boring, drawn out Zoom lectures – this is an immersive class where students complete up to 15 questions a class. It’s active learning.
Testing is Truth
We teach through testing. It’s about less lecturing and more practising Maths questions. The tutor and student will be able see their results live. This allows our tutors to see where your child is struggling and spend extra time on that topic.
1-1 Style Class
In our live classes, you can’t see any other students. It’s just you and the teacher. It’s a safe space to make mistakes without judgement. No need to worry about other students. No need to worry about being called upon – the tutor uses the chat to talk to you. You can ask the tutor questions too by unmuting. And if your child is lost in class – we will know, using all the data. We take care of your child right through the lesson.
Progress Reports
After each class, you will get a text with your students results so that you can see their progress each week. Pupils also have access to a dedicated WhatsApp number to support them outside of our grinds. Simply send a picture of whatever you are struggling with and we will reply as quickly as possible with a personalised video tutorial on how to do it.

Reviews
Sharon Savaille
The best Maths grinds for my child. We did the short crash course before my daughter’s junior cert papers, which I feel gave her that extra confidence she needed.
Aindrea Kelly
Would recommend for anyone who needs help with Maths. Very impressed with the service. Great that the classes are online and recorded in case you can’t attend a class.

Yes, it will feel like a 1-1 class. 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.
No, classes are always online.
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.
Our classes are 45 to 50 minutes long.
No. We use our own platform. The link to the class on the platform is sent to you when you sign up.
All you need is a piece of paper, a pen and ideally a laptop or iPad. Phones work, but they are not great.
Founder’s Story
I really struggled with Maths in school. I hated being lectured to – I was lost in class.
I worked hard and achieved 600 points in my own leaving cert by force of will. I started to teach Maths grinds after that while in college.
In 2020, I set up Breakthrough Maths to help others solve the problems I had experienced in school with Maths.
Maths is a skill. Our platform are built off years of research to make learning Maths effective. It’s mymission build something that can impact every student at home in Ireland.
