Maths Grinds Longford

Longford is the smallest county in this part of the country by school count, with roughly eight post-primary schools serving Longford Town, Granard, Edgeworthstown and the surrounding area. A small cohort means a small pool of local tutors, and in maths specifically that pool is very small indeed.

Get in touch

The honest position is that if you want a maths specialist in Longford, the nearest realistic options are Mullingar or Athlone. There is a bus between Longford and Mullingar, but a student finishing school at four, travelling for an hour, doing an hour of maths and travelling back is giving up most of an evening for a single subject. Few families sustain that past a few weeks.

Longford has one genuine advantage here: it is among the best-connected counties in Ireland for broadband, at roughly 96 per cent gigabit fibre coverage, which is higher than much of Dublin. The usual rural objection to online tuition simply does not apply.

The county also has a lower rate of third-level progression than the national average, which makes the Higher Level decision load-bearing. Holding Higher Level maths and banking the 25 bonus points changes which courses are reachable, and for a lot of Longford students that is the single decision the Leaving Cert turns on.
