About Senan
DCU Biomedical Engineering | 589 LC Points | The Ultimate Maths Turnaround Expert
"Stop trying to memorize Maths. Start thinking like an engineer."
Achieving 589 points in my 2025 Leaving Cert wasn't down to luck—it was down to a complete system overhaul. To be completely honest, I got 34% in my Maths mock exam. I know exactly what it feels like to look at a paper, panic, and feel completely stuck.
But as a current Biomedical Engineering student at DCU, I developed a logical, engineering-based approach to the syllabus that completely turned my grades around, taking me from struggling to top-tier results. Because I sat the exams so recently, I am uniquely tuned into the current exam pressure and SEC marking schemes. I’m not just a tutor; I’m a patient, organised mentor who knows how to bridge the gap between "scraping by" and securing H1/H2 grades.

As an engineer, I don't see Maths as a terrifying list of formulas to memorise—I see it as a toolkit for solving puzzles. Most students struggle because they try to rote-learn Maths like it's history. I teach you how to actually understand it.
Engineering Logic: We break down complex LC and JC topics (like Calculus, Trigonometry, or Algebra) into the "why" and the "how." Once you see the underlying logic, the formulas take care of themselves.
The "Mock-to-H1" Strategy: I share the exact step-by-step problem-solving frameworks, active recall methods, and exam-attack strategies that saved my own Leaving Cert.
Reduced Workload: My approach actually cuts your study time in half. By removing the need for rote learning, you'll spend less time stressing and more time picking up easy marks.

Really easy to understand and very patient. Gave me great advice.
I know Senan through my daughter Sophie, who gets higher level maths grinds with him. He is patient, clear, and very supportive in his teaching. Sophie’s confidence and understanding in maths have improved a lot since starting lessons with him. I would highly recommend Senan to other students.
Before starting lessons with Senan, our son was struggling with maths and lacked confidence. Since starting Irish with him, we've seen a real improvement in both understanding and grades.
My son has been getting grinds off Senan for 3 months now, he has given him loads of confidence in his Irish. Very helpful
