GrindsWorld Tutor: Luke Power

My name is Luke and I am currently studying mathematics and economics at Trinity College Dublin. I sat my leaving cert in June 2019 and received 589 points including H1s in Maths, Applied Maths and Physics. I offer private grinds for junior cert and leaving cert students of all levels and abilities in both Maths and Applied Maths, in which I scored 98% and 97% respectively in my leaving cert.

I have been giving private grinds for 1 year now and in this time I have had 2 students, both of which are very happy with the progress they have made in their subjects and the grades they are on track to receive. Also, having sat the leaving cert just last year, I am very accustomed to how the exam is structured, the most effective methods for tackling the more challenging questions and which topics require the most attention.

To start off I ensure that my students have a strong understanding of the fundamental concepts in maths as this is very important for taking on more complex questions. Every grind is completely centred around the needs of the student with a focus put on the topics and ideas the student struggles with the most so as to not waste time. I also use important resources like past exam and mock papers when coming up to exams as an understanding of how the exam is structured and what kind of questions to expect is necessary for performing well in the exams.
