About us
The goal of Breakthrough Maths is to help children across the country overcome their fear about mathematics. Instead of teaching kids maths the way it’s always been taught, Breakthrough Maths takes a more progressive approach, helping them develop analytical and problem-solving skills along the way. There’s a lot more to Breakthrough Maths than just courses. Our mission is to broaden our children’s views, thus we place a significant emphasis on teaching them how to define, analyze, and find solutions to complex problems.

About Education in Galway
In the province of Connacht, between the river Lough Corrib and Galway Bay, Galway is the fourth most populous city in the Republic of Ireland as well as the county town of the County Galway. Galway is a major commercial hub on the island of Ireland due to its harbor, and it attracts visitors from all over the world.https://www.universityofgalway.ie/cao/
With a population of 83,456, Galway consists of 27 primary schools and 11 secondary schools. Though the concentration of schools in Galway is not the best when compared to other cities, the good news is that the numbers are increasing. The University of Galway and Atlantic Technological University are the two university premises established in Galway. The University of Galway is famous for social science and Celtic studies, arts, public policy and law, and science and engineering as well. On the other hand, Atlantic Technological University has four schools: the School of Business, the School of Engineering, the School of Science & Computing, and the School of Arts & Tourism. Galway is such a vibrant city that few cities in the world can match it, and 20% of its residents are students, making it a student’s city.https://www.gmit.ie/
Galway is a student’s paradise because everything is so conveniently located and the energy of this city. However, the biggest issue is the sheer number of schools, which restricts a student’s choices. The same is true of college and university life. Given this scarcity of educational opportunities, it is not uncommon for students to seek out support from organizations other than schools. Thankfully, Galway, Ireland, is not excluded from Breakthrough Maths’ reach.https://www.galwaybusinessschool.ie/
Maths Become Easy With Great Tutors
Still Have Questions?
Maths grinds are an after school support to help students understand Maths and excel in their exams. ‘Grinds’ are a unique term used in Ireland. It has the same meaning as ‘tutoring’. Maths grinds can be taught by a qualified teacher or student who excelled in Maths in school. Students from primary, secondary, and third level receive grinds in Ireland.
The Maths Grinds cost €40 per week. The first week is free to try for new students. If students want to continue with grinds, parents pay for the remainder of the term via a Stripe link sent by WhatsApp. For our revision course costs, please check the course page.
Students log in to a Zoom link each week at a set time. Classes consist of a mix of teaching theory and answering exam questions. The tutor shares his/her screen, explains the theory and the group completes exam questions together. The tutor goes through these exam questions with the class, writing down the methods on his/her shared digital whiteboard. All students are engaged, participating and asking questions when needed. All lessons are recorded. Groups are kept to a maximum of 10 students per class.
Yes. We have developed a state examiner designed curriculum for each class/year. We follow as close as possible to what the students are learning in school.
No, we just teach in small groups. However, if students have issues outside of our online grinds, they can use SupportSapp (which is a dedicated WhatsApp group) to ask questions, and we’ll respond with a video on how to solve that problem.
