I always get asked “why don’t you do other subjects?” And people don’t realise….. …..the amount of work it takes to do one subject really well. We have made over 800 individual videos, tests and homework questions. Just to do that really well. From 1st to 6th year. It’s a huge effort. Sean Donnelly who joined our team a few months ago is a key part of our content team. He studied Maths in Queen's University Belfast and has been tutoring Maths for well over 5 years. We need more Seans - more people who really enjoy making Maths content, tweaking our system and perfecting the student experience. Especially as we scale to the UK 💪🏻

Ireland’s #1 rated Maths grinds | Online lessons powered by our custom teaching platform.
About us
We are re-inventing the Maths class. We have built a custom teaching platform that incorporates live, in class testing to teach secondary school students maths in a personalised way. We’ve designed the perfect maths class, using our technology: ✅ It’s online ✅ It’s engaging for students as they complete 10–15 questions each class. ✅ Progress is tracked and sent to parents ✅ We find the root cause of where students are struggling in Maths, using our data. We turned over €1.2m in 2023/24 and are aiming to fully launch our platform in September 2024, corner the Irish market (circa €5m value) and scale to the US.

Hats off to Ben Sheehan. He stood up in front of 500 students and gave a talk on entrepreneurship as part of a series of talks by the Immersive Software Engineering course. Great stuff from someone still so young and on this journey for a little over 2 years. Good man Ben 👏

Each year, we add incremental improvements to our service ✅ Students being able to access 4 classes/wk ✅ Testing in every single class ✅ Progress reports to parents Our goal is to make the impact that the Khan Academy has had. But for live lessons, with a real tutor. A difficult game, but we kick on 💪🏻 Featured in The Currency this week: https://lnkd.in/eKpX6Wiu

This man has hit the ground running. Well done Bobby Kahn!
Proud to announce my graduation from University College Cork with an Honours BComm Degree from Cork University Business School, majoring in Banking and Finance. My main highlight was my year abroad at the University of Cincinnati Carl H. Lindner College of Business. I recently started as Head of Sales with Breakthrough Maths. Starting nearly two years ago as Business Development Manager, I've had the privilege of watching the company grow as we aim to reach €2 million in revenue this year. A huge thank you to our founder,TJ Hegarty, and to Ben Sheehan for their support, and to the whole Breakthrough Maths team. Here’s to the future—still growing, still learning, still driving on!

Today, we’ve 520 Junior Cycle students doing our grinds. It blows my mind 🤯 Why would you need grinds in 1st or 2nd year? Because Maths is cumulative. Once you start falling behind in Maths, it sticks with you. A stitch in time saves 9. Get the help early! 𝐏𝐒: Oct Midterm is an ideal time to start grinds! Try out free a class👇 https://lnkd.in/ePvtUj4N

‘TJ, where do I start to study for Maths?’ Algebra. It’s the bedrock. Algebra is the foundation base of your house. No foundation, no structure and the house will fall down over time. So, spend as much time as you need practicing: ✅ Algebraic Fractions ✅ Algebraic Division ✅ Factorising Get algebra right, and the results follow!
