The short answer
Leaving Cert grinds are one-to-one lessons for 5th and 6th Years, Higher or Ordinary Level, focused on the exact syllabus and papers your child will sit. A grinds tutor closes the gaps, drills real exam questions, and builds a study plan around the mocks in February and the exams in June.
Sound familiar?
When Leaving Cert pressure starts to build
The points target feels far away
The CAO course they want has a number on it, and one subject is dragging the average down.
HL or drop to OL?
The level decision changes the points on offer; it deserves better evidence than one bad test.
The mocks were a wake-up call
February results land hard, but they are data, and there is still time to act on them.
6th Year moves fast
Teachers are racing to finish the course; one-to-one goes back for whatever was missed.
The exam plan
Mocks in February, the Leaving Cert in June
The senior cycle has fixed landmarks. Grinds work best when every lesson knows which one it's building towards.
September
Foundations and coverage
Gaps get closed while the course is still being taught, not after.
February
The mocks
A dress rehearsal that becomes data: exactly where the marks are leaking.
June
The Leaving Cert
Exam technique and timing drilled on real past papers, under the clock.
Between the mocks and June is the highest-leverage stretch of the whole cycle: the results say exactly what to fix, and there is still time to fix it. In Junior Cycle instead? Start earlier with Junior Cert grinds.

Five-lesson promise
The risk is ours, not yours.
Our 5-Lesson Peace of Mind Guarantee
We know how important the right tutor match is. If it doesn't feel right, we'll find your child another tutor and you won't pay for that lesson. If you're not satisfied with their progress after five lessons, we'll refund every cent you paid for them.
Read our full guarantee
The right tutor can make all the difference, not only to your child's results, but also to their confidence, understanding and ability to tackle their schoolwork independently. For you, that means the reassurance of knowing your child is supported, making progress and moving in the right direction. That's the transformation we want your child to experience, and we're prepared to stand behind it.
First, your child's tutor should feel like the right fit. If your child doesn't feel comfortable, understood and excited to continue after their lesson, simply tell us. We'll find them a better-matched tutor, and you won't pay a cent for that lesson.
Once your child has found the right match, give us five lessons to help them make meaningful progress. If, after those five lessons, you're not satisfied with the change you're seeing, let us know and we'll refund every cent you paid for them.
Our 97% customer success rate gives us the confidence to make this promise. But if your child is among the 3% who don't get the results you hoped for, we wouldn't feel right keeping your money.
No awkward conversations. No hoops to jump through. The risk is ours, not yours.
Questions parents ask
How much do Leaving Cert grinds cost?
Rates depend on the tutor's experience and how often you book; you'll see exact prices for matched tutors before committing. No sign-up fees, no long contracts.
Do you cover Higher and Ordinary Level?
Yes, both, in every major subject. Tutors also help with the HL or OL call itself, using paper performance rather than panic, because the level decision changes the CAO points on offer.
Can grinds help between the mocks and the Leaving Cert?
Yes, and it is one of the most effective windows: the mocks show exactly where marks are leaking, and a tutor turns that into a focused plan of syllabus repair and exam technique for the months to June.
I searched "leaving cert grinds near me". Do you have tutors in my area?
Our grinds are online, which means every student in Ireland gets the same tutor pool, usually a far better match than whoever happens to be local.
My child is still in Junior Cycle. Do you do Junior Cert grinds?
Yes, we have a dedicated Junior Cert grinds page. Starting in Junior Cycle is the cheapest time to fix the gaps that would otherwise cost points at the Leaving Cert.
