Maths Grinds Cork

Cork is the largest county in Ireland and its students are spread thin. A student in Castletownbere is three hours from Cork city, which has historically meant that access to a specialist maths tutor depended entirely on where you lived.

That is the problem online tuition actually solves here. West Cork, the Beara peninsula and the north of the county have the same Higher Level syllabus and the same CAO deadlines as the city, with a fraction of the local options. Distance stops being a factor when the session happens at the kitchen table.

In the city and the suburbs the picture is different. Schools around Douglas, Bishopstown and Ballincollig send a lot of students to UCC and MTU, and engineering and science courses there carry maths requirements that make Higher Level non-negotiable. Students come looking for help holding the level rather than for a top grade.

Cork students sit the same papers as everyone else, but the county's size means the starting point varies more than most. The first session is always about finding out where that point actually is.
