About the lesson

Hello! I am a Masters qualified and experienced university & post-primary teacher and private tutor specializing in leaving certificate math at all levels and Junior Cycle math and Science. Also university calculus, linear algebra, organic chemistry, pharmacy, biochem. I teach SEN students also. I am Passionate about building confidence, improving results, and supporting students of all abilities through patient, structured, and exam-focused lessons. SEN, dyslexia, and dyscalculia support available. Free first lesson included.

I specialize in helping learners understand key concepts, strengthen weak areas, and develop the confidence to apply their knowledge effectively in exams and classwork. I also have experience supporting students with dyslexia, dyscalculia, special educational needs, and learning difficulties by adapting lessons to suit each student’s individual learning style.

My approach is patient, supportive, interactive, and highly structured, with a strong focus on building confidence and developing a growth mindset. I believe every student can succeed with the right support and guidance. I work closely with students to identify gaps in understanding, focus on core basics first, and gradually build towards more difficult topics with confidence.

Lessons are engaging, personalized, and exam-focused. I provide detailed notes, presentations, interactive visuals, regular tests, revision reviews, and exam paper strategies to help students maximize their results. I also offer free support between classes so students can ask questions whenever they need extra help.

I also tutor third level differential and integral calculus, linear algebra, experimental physics, organic chemistry, pharmacology, pharmacy tech, biochemistry and I am a Thesis support mentor. My students come from UCD, Maynooth, UL, SETU, ATU, Galway. Students reviews available.

My students and parents consistently praise my patience, understanding, and ability to explain difficult concepts clearly. I have helped many students achieve major improvements in both grades and confidence, including multiple H1 achievers in Leaving Certificate Math, chemistry and biology and students moving from failing grades to results far beyond expectations.

Free first class/consultation available

I had the good fortune to source Orla online and she has certainly exceeded expectations. My daughter has dyslexia and experienced other interruptions with her education, struggling to achieve good grades. Orla has completely reversed my daughter's self-esteem and confidence with maths and biology. Her approach to teaching my daughter is a perfect match and this is reinforced with great resources to enhance the learning process. Orla comes with a high recommendation.

Orla has been supporting our son with Maths for the Junior Cert. He has dyscalulia and ADHD so has always found learning Maths difficult. Orla has adapted her teaching style to help keep him focused and engaged and breaks down the lessons to make them easier to understand. He likes working with Orla and responds well to her tuition which makes it even easier.
