A calm room where maths finally clicks
Small class sizes mean real individual attention. Teaching adapts to
how each student learns and the pace they need — going beyond rote
memorisation to genuine understanding and lasting confidence.
Experienced in supporting students with additional needs, including:
DyslexiaAutismADHDIndividual needs
Individual maths grinds
One-to-one sessions built entirely around the one student and the topics they need.
Small group maths grinds
A lower-cost group option that still keeps individual attention on every student.
Paper 1 + Paper 2
Complete syllabus cover with the exam techniques to use it under pressure.
Struggling → confident
Great results for high achievers and for students who find maths hard.
“
Athenry Maths transformed my approach to maths. I went from struggling to confident, my grades improved significantly, and Teresa helped me get my college course. She's so patient and always made me feel relaxed.
Áine McKenna · Leaving Cert student
“
I always thought I was just bad at maths. Teresa broke everything down until it actually made sense, and showed me exactly what the exam was looking for. I jumped two grades from my mocks to the real thing.
Cathal Byrne · Leaving Cert student
“
The difference in our son wasn't just his grades — it was his confidence. Teresa knows the exam inside out and kept us updated the whole way. Worth every cent, and I'd recommend her to any parent.

Book a place or ask a question
Tell Teresa the student's year and level and what you're after — a
place is usually sorted with a quick text or email.
If you can't attend or need to cancel - just let me know 24 hours ahead and there's nothing to pay. With less notice, or if a student doesn't turn up, I charge half the session fee, since that slot is held for them.
