Our programmes

One to one is where we see the biggest jumps, because every minute is spent on your child’s gaps and nobody else’s.

How it works

Set up this week

Three steps, and we do most of it. Nothing on any form takes a card.

Step 1

Tell us about them

One short form: their year, their level, and what they are finding hard. It takes about a minute and nothing is charged.

Step 2

We ring you

Within one working day. We set you up with one of our tutors, picked for their year, their level and what they are actually stuck on, and find a time that suits your week.

Step 3

They have the lesson

Sixty minutes, one tutor, one student. If it works you keep the same slot each week. If it does not, you have lost an hour and €27.50.

Our method

How we teach

Four things, in order, every year. Nothing skipped.

01

Foundations first

Every topic from first principles. If the base is shaky, nothing built on top of it holds up in June.

02

Exam fluency

Speed and accuracy under time. Regular practice under the clock until the paper feels routine.

03

Strategic exam thinking

How to read a paper, pick your questions, and squeeze every mark out of the marking scheme.

04

Performance under pressure

Timed papers under exam conditions all year, so the real one in June feels like one more of them rather than the first.

An hour a week

  • One class a week, and that is the product
  • Miss it and you have missed it
  • The pace is set by whoever is fastest in the room
  • A worksheet, sometimes, with answers at the back
  • Nobody is tracking whether your child in particular is getting it
Exceed Maths

An hour that is entirely theirs

  • One tutor, one student, for the whole hour
  • The lesson goes where the gap actually is
  • Nobody moves on because the rest of the room did
  • Their own homework, class test or mock paper
  • Miss a week and we move the slot
  • Tutors who sat the same exam recently

€27.50 for the trial session, then €55 a session, bought as you go. The in person class in Cork is a separate thing at €135 a month, and that is the one that comes with the full online platform.

Questions

Before you start

Where should we start?

A one to one trial session, at €27.50 rather than €55. We use it to see exactly where the gaps are, then every session after that is built around them. Any year group, Ordinary or Higher Level.

What exactly do we get for the money?

On one to one: a tutor to yourself, a regular weekly slot, and a lesson plan built around your child. On Cork: two hours in the room every Saturday morning, plus the full online platform — the concept library, weekly homework with worked video solutions, monthly assessments and the exam boot camp.

Do you teach in person anywhere?

Yes, in Cork. Saturday mornings, 10am to 12pm at UCC, right through to the exams. Places are limited by the size of the room, so it is an application and a quick phone call rather than an instant signup. Everything else we do is online.

What if my child is repeating?

Repeat students are welcome on everything we run. One to one tends to suit them best, because a repeat year is usually about a specific set of topics rather than starting again from the beginning.

What if we miss a class?

Cork students get the full online platform, so a missed Saturday is caught up in your own time rather than lost. On one to one we simply move the slot.

When am I charged, and how many times?

Nothing is charged on any form on this site. One to one is paid per session or per block once a tutor and a time are agreed on the phone. Cork is €135 a month, taken on the same date each month, with the last payment in May.

Can we cancel?

Yes, any time. Email info@exceedmaths.ie and the next payment does not happen. There is no contract and no minimum term. One to one blocks are bought as you go, so there is nothing running to cancel.

Does my child need to be strong at maths already?

No. Most students come to us because it is not going well. The messages above include students who started on a H8 in March and students who had never passed a Higher Level test.

How much do I need to be involved as a parent?

Very little. You will get a call to set things up, and after that the work is between the student and the tutor. If something is not going right, message us and we will sort it.

Ready to start?

Whichever suits. Nothing on any of these forms takes a card.
