8 week Intensive Leaving Cert 2025 Higher Level Maths Preparation Course – Dún Laoghaire
When and where will the course take place?
The Course will take place for 8 weeks on Saturday mornings from 10am to 12pm at Lexicon Library in Meeting Room 2 on level 5.
The Course will start on Saturday 12th April and run to June 7th 2025.
We will break for one week for Easter Saturday 19th April. On Bank Holiday Weekends May 3rd and 31st the library is closed. On May 3rd and 31st the course will take place in Royal Marine Hotel Dún Laoghaire.
Will the course be Exam Focused?
Yes – highly exam focused. This course is tailored for Leaving Cert Higher Level Maths Students 2025. Dara, the tutor has 8 years of experience preparing classes and individual students to excel in their Leaving Cert Maths Exam. He is expert in distilling the Leaving Cert Maths course into learnable Key Notes, explained through worked examples. This Key Notes booklet will be provided as a take home resource as part of the course. This is a succinct, clear and proven resource and it is very achievable to learn this inside out within 10 weeks.
Past Papers Questions are how we will learn this material. Dara has selected a representative portfolio of past papers questions. In each class we will work through 8-10 questions. We will discuss a question, understand the hints within a question, set a strategy, and enact the strategy to solve the question. Any of the more difficult techniques are demonstrated first, before students get a chance to practice independently. Guided, structured problem solving is the foundation of this course.
How will the course be split up between Topics and Papers?
The course will be split as the paper is split. We will work through full exam papers, going quicker through easier questions and really drilling into the more challenging topics. 1st hour is devoted to Paper 1, short break and second hour is devoted to Paper 2. If we find students are more comfortable with Paper 1 (this can often be the case) we may spend 5-10 mins longer per week on Paper 2.
We will particularly focus on the low, medium, and high-medium hanging fruit. Niche questions which were in the hardest 5% of material in a given year will not have time wasted upon them given the likelihood of them appearing again is slim. They will however be included in the 5 years worth of worked examples which students will receive for their independent study.
Saturday May 31st will be fully devoted to Paper 1. While Saturday June 7th will be fully devoted to Paper 2.
