"Tony was a brilliant help for leaving certificate higher level maths and helped me to achieve a H2. He was extremely patient so I felt very comfortable asking him any question that I had, and I had plenty! We covered the leaving cert curriculum at a pace that suited me and my abilities. His teaching style was excellent and the one-on-one sessions really complimented what I was learning in school."

Tony is a wonderful and very dedicated tutor. He was a great help for my son's preparation for his LC exam. His classes are never rushed, he is extremely organised.
From a parent perspective- I could not ask for a better tutor for my son.
By Renata Malone, Parent. Leaving Cert 2022
My son, who is in 5th year, was really struggling with higher level Maths until he started grinds with Tony eight months ago. He is an absolute godsend! He teaches each topic thoroughly and simplifies complex concepts and ideas making it more accessible to the student. He also takes the time to go through exam questions and my son's problem-solving skills and confidence has grown with each lesson. I would highly recommend him as a maths tutor.

Tony has tutored my son in Higher Level leaving Cert Maths. Over 18 months my son has grown in confidence, improved his grades and learnt how to effectively structure his approach and revision. Tony knows the LC course in depth and ensured all of it was covered, however he was always willing to focus on areas that my son felt he needed more help with. Additionally, Tony was always accommodating on the occasions when a tutoring session had to be rescheduled. He was quick to adopt to meet the most effective style of learning for my son and work with him to ensure he understood the topic and worked with real examples and questions to test this. A fantastic tutor who has made a real positive difference

" We found Tony to be a great listener and he clearly shows excellent knowledge of the subject and demonstrates ability to adapt to the students needs by providing excellent guidance on any part of the Leaving Cert Maths Cycle with ease. He offers insightful tips, solutions and answers and makes you want to learn more! He is respectful of the students time and school obligations and tries to work with what suits the student. Always on time and well organised, it is a pleasure working with him." Lara Schmit- 2022

Tony tutored my son for higher level LC maths. He is a well organised and pleasant teacher. He has well structured classes and simplifies the content making learning easy and effective. He remains in contact with the parent throughout providing reminders and offering further tuition which was really helpful. I would highly recommend Tony to any student who wishes to improve their understanding of a very difficult subject.
By John O'Flaherty , Parent of LC student 2022
As a parent with a young 2nd year student who was struggling with his Maths, and was advised at one point that ordinary level might be more suited. I got help from Tony with maths grinds and can honestly say it was the best thing EVER!!! 7 months on and my son is leading in his class at higher level.
Tony simplifies everything for him and has great patience with him.
My son is confident in his maths and looks forward to his exams and his results now.
I will continue to use Tony for the remainder of my sons time in secondary school.
I can’t recommend him enough, Tony has been a godsend for us.
By Sandra Carney, Parent of JC Student 2024
My daughter has been taking higher level maths grinds with Tony for the last few months to help her for Leaving Cert.
She has found them to be extremely helpful and Tony has covered individual topics with her as required. She has benefitted greatly in understanding the subject matter and as a result has much more confidence going into the exam.
Tony is excellent at coming back with suitable times and dates for lessons and answers queries promptly. He is very well organised and is always on time for each lesson.
I am personally so happy he was recommended to me as a maths grind teacher and I would very highly recommend him as a tutor for maths at any level. His patience and knowledge of the subject are impressive.
By Sharon Cawley, Parent of LC Student 2024
I have always struggled with maths, even as an ordinary level student. Tony’s grinds have been a game-changer. They offer a 1 to 1 class where I can get valuable, personalised feedback on topics of my choosing. I always feel comfortable enough to ask questions, and they are always answered in a way so that I truly understand the material.
For my upcoming exams, I can now relax knowing I will do well thanks to Tony's help.
By Ash O'Kane, LC Student 2024
When your kids say 'I wish Tony was my maths teacher in school', as a parent gives me great comfort that this is money well spent. Both my children (2nd year and 3rd year) have been doing grinds with Tony and these sessions allow them to get a better understanding of what they have done in school and ultimately more confidence in their ability.
By Emma Martin, Parent of JC Student 2024
Tony has been tutoring my son in higher level leaving cert maths over the last three years. During this time my son has found Tony a fantastic maths teacher always showing patience and offering guidance and support when needed. This has improved his confidence to tackle complex mathematical equations and in turn we have seen a massive improvement in his grades. We have also found Tony extremely accommodating if my son needed to reschedule a grind. Overall, we have found Tony's dedication and professionalism truely deserving of the highest praise, and we wholeheartedly recommend him as an exceptional maths grind teacher.
By Amanda Lavery, Parent of LC Student 2024
Tony creates a safe and supportive learning environment. He patiently explains the issues and he encourages a student's own work. My daughter felt comfortable asking questions she would struggle to ask at school. He can break down complex maths concepts into easy-to-understand steps. He focuses on the areas that cause the most problems for the student. My daughter feels much more confident now with her abilities.
By Magda Mickalak, Parent of LC Student 2024
Tony is a very kind, patient and dedicated maths tutor. My daughter was struggling with Maths since 2nd year. A friend highly recommended Tony to me and passed on his number. It was the best thing I did ringing Tony as my daughter grew in confidence with her maths studies. She was always so happy after each grind as Tony simplified issues for her that she felt uncomfortable to ask in class. He gave her a great understanding of Maths and she is thriving now. If any parent feels their child needs some extra help in maths, Tony is the man to contact.
By Pamela Heald, Parent of JC Student 2024
I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Tony as an outstanding mathematics tutor. Over the past 4 years, Tony has provided exceptional math tutoring for both my son and my daughter to both Junior and Senior cycles.
Tony has a remarkable ability to simplify complex mathematical concepts, making them accessible and understandable to students of all abilities. Both of my children have seen significant improvements in their confidence and academic performance in mathematics, thanks to Tony’s patient and thorough teaching approach.
Beyond Tony’s excellent subject knowledge, he also demonstrates a genuine interest in his students development.
Tony is always punctual, professional, and Zoom meetings work really well. He has consistently communicated with us regarding our children's progress, ensuring that we were kept up to date and could work together to support their learning.
I have no hesitation in recommending Tony to any parent or student seeking a dedicated and effective math tutor.

I've been with Tony Tynan since December and can definitely say it was a great investment. Tony helped me get the grade I needed for my higher maths mock after I was failing tests prior to his help. He has a great understanding of maths and can explain each chapter thoroughly with different methods to suit your capabilities. He can pinpoint a common mistake you are making or resolve a confusion you have with a topic. Within the hour you get lots of work finished and then are given advice on what to practice. If you are struggling with maths Tony is the way to go.
By Nathan J, Leaving Cert Student 2026
Finding herself in 5th year studying Higher level Math for LC and struggling to understand fully the topics from 'school classes', my daughter sought a grind. Recommended when asked about maths grinds, by Local library and Roe River Bookshop was Tony Tynan. I as a parent made contact. Tony made clear hard work was essential by any student he enrolled.
One year on now in 6th year I can say that having started at a H7 she now reached a H3 in LC mocks paper which is wonderful. That improvement is down to Tony's teaching and my daughter's hard work following his advice for math.
Tony is excellent at explaining something difficult. My daughter as a student believes part of his mission is a 'desire to make maths easier to navigate for students; to remove what's frightening about them.' He has the ability to break down into simpler pieces what at first blush appears very difficult to a student. This is a measure of Tony's excellent communication skills. She has learned to recognize patterns when confronted with a maths question. Tony's professionalism and in-depth knowledge of the higher level LC math course allows him to explain concepts to students, which enables better understanding rather than memorizing. The online grind allows classes to take place wherever a student wishes, adding great flexibility to a family when necessary.
As a parent I noticed my daughter always feeling uplifted with maths after online grind with Tony rather than feeling overwhelmed plodding through maths without this grind. He is a talented person in the field of maths and loves his subject, which comes through in his attitude in trying always to simplify the difficult. I consider Tony an excellent grind teacher and moreover I would say he is like 'having a Maths Coach' being supportive, encouraging and friendly as he goes through a busy taxing course. We couldn't recommend Tony highly enough.
By Pauline Umar, Parent of LC Student 2026
Tony was recommended to me by my friend. Three of my children have had Maths grinds from Tony over the last three and a half years.
As with all children their level of abilities and need were all different and Tony was brilliant in adapting his teaching method for each child.
His calm, easy manner and his method of explaining topics put the children at ease and helped them through. Tony breaks down the topics in an easy to understand manner. He has really helped my eldest two with their leaving cert results and my youngest with the junior cert.
Tony is very helpful and makes the management of the grinds very easy for me with text reminders and he is very easy to contact and deal with.
By Ciara O'Reilly, Parent of LC students 2023 and 2025 and JC student 2025
“Tony is an amazing teacher who helped me achieve my maths goals in the leaving cert. Tony helped me to understand the questions and how to solve them which was a great benefit to me in the leaving cert and now in university where I study science. If it weren't for Tony I don't think I would've been able to do a STEM course. Would highly recommend anyone who struggles with maths to get grinds from Tony”.
By Jack Renaghan , LC student 2018/19
Tony is amazing at what he does !! My son spent 14 months at grinds for HL leaving cert maths. His grade improved from a H4 to obtaining 88% in his leaving cert exam. I would highly recommend Tony. Thank you once again Tony, Sinead and Iarlaith Carroll

Tony is a brilliant maths teacher who is incredible with his students. The results I have achieved with him are phenomenal and his patience is commendable. He also uses several different methods to answer questions instead of forcing you to learn one method. I would highly recommend him for maths grinds.
By Emma McEnneaney, Student Leaving Cert 2021
I would highly recommend Tony for Maths grinds. My son who was in 6th year and struggling with higher level maths attended Tony for one to one grinds. He was extremely happy with Tony and said he simplified everything to make it much easier to understand. My son got H2 in his leaving cert maths thanks to Tony’s help.
By Jacqui O'Connor parent, Leaving Cert 2020
Tony is a fantastic maths teacher. He is pleasant, and provides a relaxed, approachable one to one, personable contact with my son in each session.
In this age of remote impersonalised zoom and video conferencing, the one to one provided was precisely what my son required, where his questions were answered in an affable environment as if both were sitting together as friends.
By Hugh Reilly parent, Leaving Cert 2022
Tony is absolutely fanastic, he has good teaching skills and a good teaching style. My son enjoys his classes with Tony and understands all he has been taught so far. I would recommend Tony 100% for any other students out there who are struggling with maths. Tony is the right choice and the best.

Tony was helping us with maths grinds for two years. In those two years there was never a class cancelled. He was always very punctual and very approachable. He was always very patient, and explanations were easy to understand. It really helped preparing for the Leaving Cert exam. Couldn't recommend him more.
By Laura, Parent of LC Student 2024
Tony Tynan is an excellent maths tutor.
He is very efficient & so prompt at replying to any queries that may arise .
With the grinds done by zoom, you don't even have to leave your home, which is very convenient for our family.
We would highly recommend Tony as a maths tutor.
By Margaret Casey, Parent of LC Student 2024
Tony is a great one to one tutor of Maths. Our son has been receiving grinds for the past year and he has come on leaps and bounds. What our son likes about Tony is that he breaks down the question then he watches you do the question to see what parts you have grasped and what needs to be re-explained. Tony never rushes things and goes at the students pace. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tony as a great maths grind teacher.
By Dermot Leavey, Parent of JC student 2024

By Amanda McEneaney, Parent of LC Student 2026
Tony was a great help to me during my leaving cert maths course at higher level. The one to one grinds were very useful as I could do them via zoom. His patience with any question that I asked was extremely important as it encouraged me to try and understand the course in much greater depth. I can say that my results improved significantly with Tony’s grinds and I would recommend them to anyone who may feel skeptical as they are definitely worth it.

Tony's way of teaching has not only resulted in better exam results for both my teenage children, but also more of a keenness for a subject that was once a thorn in their side so to speak . His approach has enhanced their confidence when it comes to mathematics and they have enjoyed his lessons, and he has great patience . I would highly recommend Tony for any parent who has to find extra help for their children in a welcoming environment on a one to one.

Although we don't currently have a regular time slot with Tony, he fits my Leaving and Junior Cert sons in as often as he can. They keep a note of areas they need some help on and he provides the extra back up they need, giving them that extra bit of confidence with any areas they are not quite sure of."

" After working hard and never seeing results with maths, I came to Tony for help. What was most helpful about these grinds was that the chapters were always taken at pace that accommodated what I was struggling with, making sure I fully understood the topic and could apply the method to any variation of the question, giving me more confidence when I went into the exam and making my results improve by three grades. "

By Karen, Parent
I failed Higher level maths in my Leaving Cert and I was unsure about repeating Higher Level maths again so I went to Tony for maths grinds. With Tony's help I was able to get a higher level C1 (equivalent to H4). He was very helpful and did'nt waste time. He focused on the areas that I was finding difficult, we also went through exam papers together. He made complex equations seem simple by breaking them down.
