So, as is tradition, I speed ran all the questions in paper 1 for both levels last night. Not a frame perfect pixel perfect run but I got all the questions done with one or two small slips. Anyway, you can search for them on my YouTube channel. I might do the JC on Sunday....

Want to show your thanks? You can buy me a coffee! 🙂 There is a wonderful open source Calculus book online from the Openstax website called (funny enough) “Calculus Volume 1”. To be honest this compares very well with paid Calculus books out there. And in typical style to other Calculus books the solutions are...

Okay, so I’ve now done Paper 2, the only question I’m not happy with is 10b. I think what I did might be wrong but also I feel the question wasn’t clear anyway, I think the rest of the paper is fine. The paper had a nice bit of easy Trigonometry in it and the...

Stephen is an absolute gentleman and master of his craft. He helped me achieve the level required in maths to start my degree course in electronic engineering having been away from education for 25 years. I can't thank him enough and would recommended him to anyone looking for help with maths.

Stephen is one of the best teachers I have ever encountered. His patience, encouraging nature and ability to motivate has yet to be matched by anyone else. I was part of the 2021 leaving cert class and yes, it was a hard hard year all around. I started feeling buried in my maths work and all the tests we had weekly but Stephen helped me manage everything I needed to get done, either study for tests, complete my homework or explain maths problems I've always had a difficulty with. I could not reccomend his grinds more. Stephen puts so much of himself into helping his students and actually cares to see them improve and become more confident in their maths skills. I could have never done it without him. 1000/10 would reccomend so if you're thinking about it, I'd take up his grinds classes again in a heartbeat :))
