We at JC Tutoring believe that there are a number of benefits both to you and/or your child’s education and learning experience outside the classroom that result from tutoring.
It has been proven to help in the understanding of the subject, allowing the student to thoroughly think a problem through, which will help them in all aspects of life. We also provide a more tailored educational experience that is not found in the classroom, which improves confidence and creates a positive mindset.
Having been part of the only year group to study the entire new junior cycle course, we are well-versed on the subject matter and efficient study techniques of the new curriculum. Although we weren’t given the opportunity to sit the state exams, our in-house exams provided an educational challenge that required much study, while taking into account the school time missed during the global pandemic.
Our services are ideal for primary school students wishing to improve their grades and/or academic confidence, as well as Junior Cycle students, who are gearing up to the state exams and/or need to patch up things missed during the pandemic. Overall, at whatever stage you or your child is at in their academic progress, we are confident that our tutoring services will enhance your or your child’s education.
