This is what the notes do

You try it before you see it.

You get the question first. Have a go, then reveal only as much as you need.

Your turn

Solve x² − 5x + 6 = 0

The guide is 6, and it has to add to −5: that's −2 and −3 → x² − 2x − 3x + 6 = 0
Take out what's common: x(x − 2) − 3(x − 2) = 0
Pair of factors: (x − 2)(x − 3) = 0
Set each one to zero: x − 2 = 0 and x − 3 = 0
x = 2, x = 3. The roots ✓

The control panel

It isn't a PDF. It's a control panel.

You say how you found each class as you finish it. Months later you don't have to remember what was hard — the panel knows, and tells you where to go back to.

  1. Finish a classYou've just done it, so you know how it went.
  2. Say how you found itTakes a second. Be honest — that's the point.
  3. The panel remembersEverything you found hard is a place to return to — a revision plan built while you worked.

Before you ask

The things everyone wants to know.

Is the Masterclass just a pile of PDFs?+

No. They're web pages — every example reveals a step at a time, so you try it before you see it. The Cog is the only part meant to be printed.

What if it's not working out?+

Grinds: we refund every week you haven't had. No quibble, no forms. Masterclass: 14 days, full refund — after that the year's notes are yours to keep.

Do I need the grinds as well, or are the notes enough?+

The notes are the full course, in order — they'll carry you a long way alone. The grinds add me: a class each week where questions get asked out loud. Whatever you paid for the notes comes off the grinds, so starting with the Masterclass costs you nothing if you change your mind in January.

Can I ask questions?+

Grinds students: yes — online or in class. I answer it to everyone, because if you're stuck, others are too. Stuck at home? Email me the question. I always come back to you.

The Masterclass on its own doesn't include me answering individual questions — but every worked example reveals a step at a time, so you can get unstuck without needing to ask.

Do I have to do the grinds live?+

No. Every grind is recorded and the recordings are always available, so you go at your own pace and never miss anything.

Are the jokes any good?+

No. My maths jokes are famously bad, and you get one whether you want it or not. You'll groan, and you'll remember the maths anyway. (Sample: why is six afraid of seven? Because seven eight nine.)

For parents

You can see whether it's actually being used.

The worry with anything bought online is that it's opened once and forgotten. You don't have to take anyone's word for it.

What you're actually paying for

  • A full course, in order. Not a library to browse — every topic on the syllabus, so nothing gets skipped.
  • Visible progress. They rate each class as they finish it. One screen shows what's done and what was hard.
  • A teacher, not a platform. One man who knows the course, at the end of a phone — not a support inbox.

Reviews for Revise.ie, where these grinds have run since 2007.

★★★★★

I started the maths grinds when I was struggling with the subject. The clear notes and teaching style are second to none — they left me completely confident going into my exams.

If you want me live as well

The weekly timetable.

If you'd rather have me in the room once a week too, this is when. Every session is recorded, so missing one costs nothing.

Term 1 is 15 weeks, Term 2 is 19 (5th Year 17). The term price is the weekly rate times the weeks — €30 a week for 6th Higher, €20 for everyone else. Nothing rounded up.

Term 2 · 19 weeksWed 6 Jan — Thu 27 May 2027Midterm 15–19 Feb · Easter 22 Mar – 4 Apr

The last six weeks, we go up a gear. From 19 April, 6th Higher goes to three grinds a week; 6th Ordinary and 3rd Year go to two. Then we come back in for the two exam weekends — Saturday and Sunday night before Paper 1, and again before Paper 2. Ten extra grinds, no extra charge.

years teaching Higher Level maths.

I'm Carl Lynch. I've taught maths at St Kieran's College in Kilkenny since 1992, and wrote every word of the Masterclass myself.

It's the same course I teach in a classroom in Kilkenny, built so it works just as well from a kitchen table in Donegal.
