Our classes are online so you don’t have to waste time waiting for the bus on South Mall or trekking up Patrick’s Hill.

With an engaging tutor and a solid plan, your child’s results steadily improve.

“I started online maths grinds because I didn’t want geography to limit potential—whether you’re from the Northside or the Southside of Cork city or anywhere in the County, every student deserves access to top-tier support”

Benefits of Our Cork Classes

No Travelling

Our online classes means no travelling after school! So much time is wasted getting to and from grinds whether you’re walking across the city or stuck in traffic for hours. With us, you can go straight home after school and do the class in comfort.

Personalised Testing

We focus on testing, not lecturing. So it doesn’t matter if you need 625 to get into UCC, or just want to pass. We’ll give you the boost you need by building your confidence before exams and improving your maths capabilities.

Flexible Timing

Live in Bishopstown or on the outskirts of Schull? Our grinds are just a click away. No matter your location, you get access to top-quality teaching. Plus, our classes are recorded too if our class schedule doesn’t suit you.

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.

FAQ’s

How do I contact Breakthrough Maths?

Email: info@btmaths.com 
or WhatsApp us.

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

Do you teach 2 topics per week?

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.

How do unlimited classes work?

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.

TJ, Our Founder

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 had an amazing journey. We have gone from 8 students per week in Glanmire to over 3,000 students online across Ireland. 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.
