Hi, I’m Alan – I Teach Leaving Cert Maths in Tullow
I’m Alan Loane, founder of the Centre for Mathematical Development here in Tullow. I’m a fully qualified secondary school teacher with over 10 years of experience teaching maths at post-primary level. I hold a degree in Pure Mathematics from Trinity College Dublin, and I’m registered with the Teaching Council. In addition, I currently teach in a post-primary school. Over the years, I’ve taught in a wide range of settings – from fee-paying to DEIS schools – which has given me valuable insight into how different students learn and how to bring out the best in each one. My goal is simple: to help students build real understanding, grow in confidence, and see results that last.
Why Choose The Centre Of Mathematical Development
I believe small group learning naturally offers the ideal balance between individual support and collaborative engagement. That’s why all maths tuition at the Centre for Mathematical Development is in-person only—no Zoom, no screens. This approach avoids one-on-one isolation, as students often learn more effectively when they can engage with their peers. To ensure every student receives quality attention, each class is kept small, which provides a structured and supportive environment with clear goals and consistent progress tracking.
It’s common for many students to feel overwhelmed by maths, often being told it’s too difficult or that they simply need to “put in more effort.” However, with the right explanation and support, every student can improve. Ultimately, my aim is to build confidence in students while delivering real results.
Leaving Cert Maths in Tullow – What to Expect
Clear Breakdown Of Key Exam Topics
My maths tutoring focuses on breaking down key exam topics into manageable, easy-to-understand parts. I help students build a strong foundation by explaining concepts clearly and step by step. This targeted approach boosts confidence and ensures they’re well-prepared for Junior and Leaving Cert exams.
A Strong Grasp Of Problem-Solving Techniques
I place a strong emphasis on developing effective problem-solving techniques in my tutoring sessions. These skills help students approach unfamiliar questions with confidence and logic. By practicing a variety of strategies, students learn to think critically and apply their knowledge more flexibly in exams.
Regular Practice With Past Paper Questions
Regular practice with past paper questions forms a key part of my teaching approach. It helps students become familiar with exam formats, question styles, and time management, which in turn builds confidence and improves performance under exam conditions.
Expert Feedback On What They’re Doing Well
Expert feedback on what someone is doing well highlights their strengths and reinforces effective techniques or practices they’re already applying. By acknowledging progress and competence, this feedback builds confidence and helps the individual understand which aspects of their performance are successful. Moreover, this kind of feedback encourages continued growth by showing that their current efforts are on the right track.
Classes Planned Around The Leaving Cert Curriculum
Each class—whether focused on Algebra and Functions, Geometry and Trigonometry, Calculus, Probability and Statistics, or Exam Technique and Time Management—is interactive, practical, and specifically tailored to meet the needs and level of the students in the group.
FAQ - The Centre For Mathematical Developments
What makes your maths tuition different from other services in Tullow?
At the Centre for Mathematical Development, we focus on small group in-person tuition rather than one-on-one sessions or online teaching. This deliberate choice creates an interactive and collaborative environment where students can receive focused attention and benefit from learning alongside their peers. With more than 10 years of teaching experience and a well-structured approach, we tailor our classes to meet the unique needs of each student. As a result, we aim to build a deeper understanding of the material and the confidence needed to succeed in exams.
Will my child still receive individual attention, even in a small group setting?
Yes! We deliberately keep class sizes small so each student gets the attention they need. At the same time, the group environment fosters collaborative learning, allowing students to engage with one another and reinforce their understanding. We monitor every student’s progress closely, and regular progress tracking ensures they receive the right level of support. In addition, I’m present at every class, offering individual feedback to help each student improve. Consequently, each student benefits from a tailored approach that supports their growth both individually and as part of the group.
How can I tell if my child is ready to begin Leaving Cert or Junior Cert maths tuition?
If your child is preparing for the Leaving Cert (Higher or Ordinary level) or the Junior Cert, they will benefit greatly from our tailored approach. Whether they struggle with key concepts or aim to refine their skills further, our classes break down complex topics into manageable steps. We focus strongly on problem-solving techniques, exam practice, and regular feedback. Since success begins with a strong foundation, we offer Junior Cert support early on, helping students prepare well for future exams.
How do I enroll or check availability for classes?
To enroll or inquire about availability, simply fill out the contact form, and I will get in touch with you shortly. Once you complete your registration, you can easily book your preferred class slot online. Therefore, don’t wait—reserve your spot today to ensure your child starts without delay!
Do you offer online classes or materials?
No, all tuition takes place in person to foster a focused, distraction-free environment. However, to complement the in-class experience, I provide digital resources through Google Classroom. These materials include interactive content, practice exercises, and past exam questions, giving students the flexibility to review lessons and reinforce their learning at home. In this way, they benefit from both structured classroom instruction and the convenience of accessible support outside of class.
