BrendanFrom mark (5/5): (Senior Cycle Maths) Brendan is an excellant tutor who took the time to understand my daughters needs tehn built her confidence and led to her moving from fearing mathes to finding it once of her favourite subjects. Thank you Brendan
From Ella (/5): (Junior Cycle Maths)
From Sinead (/5): (University Physics) Brendan is an excellent tutor for my daughter. She had never studied physics before and needed to learn the basics for an engineering course in ucd. She has found Brendan to be extremely knowledgeable, patient, and very good at explaining complex subjects. All grinds are carried out online, and they work very well for her. 100% recommend Brendan.
From Luke (/5): (University Maths) Exceptional Experience!
it was a pleasure working with Brendan and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the invaluable support and guidance he provided. From the moment we began our sessions, it was evident that he possesses not only a deep understanding of Calculus and Probability but also a genuine passion for helping students succeed!
Would highly recommend him and look forward to working with him in the future.

From Anne marie (/5): (Junior Cycle Maths) Brendan has a creative and visual approach to teaching maths. As a student, I find it makes it easier to understand maths through a different perspective. I would not hesitate to recommend Brendan, especially to other homeschooled students who need some help with maths.

From Megan (/5): (Senior Cycle Maths) Absolutely brilliant such a nice man.
From Bernadette (/5): (University Physics) Would highly recommend Brendan.

From Sandra (/5): (Junior Cycle Maths) My daughter in doing her Jr Cycle this year Higher maths. She has been struggling the past two years with grades very low. Failing all class exams.
We got in contact with Brendan 2 weeks before her mocks and with only two hours of grinds she actually passed her mocks. Brendan has been amazing. His way of teaching has helped her so much and her confidence has grown. She looks forward to meeting up with Brendan everyweek. His lessons are so enjoyable you actually get lost in time.
I highly recommend you put your trust in Brendan and let him work his magic. You won't look back.

From Joan (/5): (Senior Cycle Physics) My daughter's words after her first session with Brendan were… " oh my God oh my God can i please go 3 times a week " i think that sums it up pretty well.
From Garreth (/5): (University Maths) had a great first meeting with Brendan, broke down and explained the topic clearly. I would highly recommend Brendan.
From Theresa (/5): (Junior Cycle Maths) We are still doing weekly lessons with Brendan. My daughter has found new confidence in her ability to applly herself in Math and she is enjoying it. Brendan seems to have an approach that is really clicking. He is definitely passionate in this subject and i just may be contagious. Thank you Brendan
From Jeffrey (/5): (Junior Cycle Maths) Very understanding, great connection with the student and teaches in a very practical way.
From Alex (/5): (University Physics) Brendan was very helpful and he gave generously of his time, as lessons always went on well over the hour.I would recommend him.
From Nicola (/5): (University Maths) Excellent teacher who takes time to study the curriculum and specific needs of the student. He simplifies the steps to aid understanding
From Mark (/5): (University Physics) Excellent!
From Fatmir (/5): (University Physics) Brendan is an excellent tutor. I found him excellent and very helpful.
I give him 10 out of 10.

From John (/5): (University Maths) I couldn't recommend Brendan highly enough!
From Alexandra (/5): (University Physics) Had one physics grind with Brendan so far, but I'm definitely going back for more, he is brilliant, clears everything up and speaks clearly and makes it all seem so easy and simple. Highly recommend Brendan.
From Michelle (/5): (Senior Cycle Maths)
From Conor (/5): (Senior Cycle Maths) Brendan is well organized and targets the session to the student needs, which he delivers in a pragmatic and calm manner.

From Alison (/5): (University Physics) Excellent tutor.
From James (/5): (University Maths) Brendan is a great tutor. He broke down trigonometry in a way that I’d never seen before. He made it interesting and fun to learn. He explained how to do the questions and more importantly why we used certain formulas and where the formula came from.
From John (/5): (University Maths) very good tutor, explains the material very well and at a pace that suits you, highly recommend this tutor.

From Tomas (/5): (University Maths) Great tutor,
From Orla (/5): (Junior Cycle Maths) I think Lucia has finally found someone who is as interested in getting the maths right as she is. She gets great enjoyment out of understanding what's happening rather than just following a set of rules for no reason. She loves going to her grinds.

From Emma (/5): (Senior Cycle Maths) Hi Brendan, it is so far so good from us as you probably know by the fact that we keep coming back. You are the lifeline preventing Emma from drowning in a difficult subject.
Kind Regards,
Tracy Morris

From Anne (/5): (Junior Cycle Maths) Complete brilliance. Takes the complicated and makes it simple. We highly recommend Brendan. He always gives extra time, and is really interested in the student doing well. My daughter ,senior cycle, and my son, junior cycle, say he takes a different approach and breaks it down so you have no doubt about where to go. Excellent tutor, we highly recommend him, flexible to meet anytime too…
From Aaron (/5): (Primary Maths)
From Jessica (/5): (Senior Cycle Maths) Couldn't have had better help. I learn't more in a couple of lessons than I ever have in school. I could not recommend Brendan enough. He had an excellent way of explaining things and I came out with a confidence for maths that I never thought I'd have!
From Alan (/5): (University Maths) I couldn't rate Brendan highly enough. I am extremely happy with the results and would strongly recommend him for tuition at any level. His knowledge and method of explanation are second to none.
Thanks to Brendan I have achieved and now understand more than I ever thought was possible in such a short space of time. He is genuinely dedicated to achieving the best possible results for you and goes above and beyond his obligations to reach that goal.

From Paul (/5): (University Maths) Great tutor. Would strongly recommend brendan. Easy to talk to and never cancelled or let me down.
From Karl (/5): (Junior Cycle Maths) The most important thing that Brendan has given my son is a confidence that he can understand maths. His enthusiasm and obvious interest in the subject is obvious and brings the subject to life (not something I would have thought possible with a subject such as maths). My son thinks he is "so cool"!
From Cormac (/5): (University Maths) Brendan is excellent teacher and brilliant to get on with.
From Michael (/5): (University Maths) very good and understanding, big help to me! thanks
From Belinda (/5): (Senior Cycle Physics) I gained much more confidence answering past paper questions. Brendan was very good at explaining things and I felt much more secure in my mathematical understanding.
From William (/5): (University Maths) Was very helpful explaining problems and situations with questions relating to applied mechanics. Made a mock exam for me which was extremely helpful. Overall very nice Man and very helful
From Stephan (/5): (Senior Cycle Physics) Brendan is a brilliant tutor. I came to him with absolutely no background in physics and not having looked at maths for 18 years, and a short time to study for the GAMSAT (graduate entry to medicine test, which includes physics as about 20% of the science section). He has been able to make a huge amount of information perfectly clear to me in that very short amount of time, showing great patience whenever I failed to understand something or needed background maths explained to me before I could begin to comprehend a physics concept. He also rose splendidly to the challenge of doing tutorials over Skype, since I live too far from him to physically see him on a regular basis.
I would recommend Brendan most heartily to anyone who is having difficulties with physics, needs to learn physics very fast from scratch, or wants to perfect their understanding of physics, especially in the context of a very important exam studied for under time constraints. Further, he had not previously been familiar with the GAMSAT, but has gone to some effort to research their testing level, range, question structure, and individual idiosyncracies in order to do his best for me.
