Dublin Maths Opiniões 202

I took their Easter grinds and found them far more helpful than whatever my actual Maths teacher is doing. I understand each topic far better after these grinds than I did during the past two years.

Sean’s an unbeatable teacher. Covers every topic comprehensively and thoroughly and always addresses any questions really well

The grinds I'm doing throughout my leaving cert year have been amazing, aswel as the Easter course. Would definitley reccomend

The easter crash course im doing now is great, the expalnations he does is so clear

My son has found the Easter Crash course really helpful, he said that he has a greater understanding of the topics. He also has found the book to be very beneficial, especially in the areas he was unsure of.

Paid last week for a book and apparently they don’t have. Yet they are still selling them. Total con job.
Edited to add: it wasn’t 3 days as Dublin Maths states, I paid over a week ago, they have none in stock and are still selling them. They may laugh at the situation but that is a pure reflection on them. Dread to think what their grinds are like given the lack of responsibility and maturity. Saying nothing of the lack of respect for their customers.
Edited2 to add:
This email quoted is just sent in the last hour! It wasn’t sent until after the review was replied to and I said how dishonest and disrespectful they were. It wasn’t the first email nor the second. Nor is the edited add on information true or accurate.

It is true that I tend to write a review when I am unhappy so you can assume that in between I have many experiences as a consumer that is happy. I doubt I am alone in that.

I have been asked to change my original review which I certainly won’t be doing.
This is my experience and I have waited a full working week only to discover because I emailed them that they have literally no books in stock. Which remains true although until last night, they were still selling them as “low stock”.
I’ll be contacting the consumer commission tomorrow with the information, they will at least take note and maybe this company can learn to treat their customers with respect and not make a pathetic attempt at blackening their review and adding in dishonest information to cover their asses.
I’ll be ignoring any more replies as between email and this….truly dreadful experience. As you can see.

My son started grinds with Dublinmaths.ie five weeks ago and I am very impressed by their tutors and the booking system and admin staff. These are the first grinds I have managed to get him to go to because he finds maths so overwhelming. Highly recommend them.
We've just received the JC HL book and I like how visual it is and simply laid out. Just what we need to take away any fear of maths.

My daughter finds this book easy to follow & less intimidating than the school textbook. It simplifies maths for those who are not confident in this subject and gives clear explanations.

My son is very enthusiastic about his LC HL maths book. He says that the chapters are very informative, easy to understand with great examples given. He started the year feeling rather overwhelmed but between his 1 to 1 maths grins these past 5 weeks, along with the revision book, he is feeling lot more confident. He says that he would highly recommend the book, along with the 1 to 1 classes.

The reason why it works is because the tutors relate to the students. It’s not school. They’re connected and in a safe space.

The book is very helpful, and in my opinion, anything that takes the fear and mental block away from maths is a win.

I was sceptical, but so far have great confidence in the grinds and the book. My son is about 4 weeks in. The sell was a little hard but the organisation of booking the lessons is excellent and the one to ones have only gotten better. I recommend.

My daughter has used both the JC and the LC Maths Made Simple books. She thinks they are really excellent books and go into great description for each section. She finds they simplify and make the chapters in the textbooks so much easier to understand. The material was presented in a more accessible way than the textbooks. All the practice questions were previous Junior or Leaving Cert questions which makes it so much easier to study for the JC or LC as you get given real examples. She would recommend it.

I bought Maths Made Simple for my son and it’s the best investment I’ve ever made for him. He uses a couple of different resources in school but this is by far the most impactful one. It makes maths so simple…I suppose that’s in the name though!!

These books look like they have been written by someone with no background in mathematics education. They try to simplify the entire math's syllabus into short procedural sequences. They are infantile in their composition. The author overstates the relevance and importance of their books through their mass advertising campaigns on TikTok and Facebook. Closer inspection reveals the books are nothing more than a summary of text books that the students already have. There are no new insights.

In fact some of the information is just plainly wrong. For example, in the Algebra section of the JC HL book, the author states that

"When you move something from one side of an equation to another, it changes sign".

This is patently wrong, anybody with a decent basic knowledge of algebra is aware of this. This type of instruction causes more harm than good in the long term of a student's mathematics education.

Another statement,

"A quadratic contains three terms", is also wrong, a quadratic can contain one, two or three terms but the author does not seem to have that level of knowledge.

One of the books 'Top Tips' for JC HL students is that the top of a fraction is called 'the numerator' and the bottom 'the denominator'. Seriously? This is what students learn in primary school and is just a standard definition. How is it a 'Top Tip'?

The exercises are badly sequenced in terms of scaffolding and in a number of instances are also just straight lifts from text books.

The author has gone on a cynical hard sell on TikTok to young students who are quite impressionable and influenced by advertising. The author claims all a student will need is the material from these books. This is a deceitful statement. The books may be used as a revision tool, but even then, they are disjointed and do not cover the relevant material in any form of conceptual detail.

On one FB advert, the author tries to pull the wool over the eyes of the public by showing a couple of examples of text books where the mathematical symbols are quite confusing. The reason they are confusing is that the author is using university maths text books instead of secondary school text books. This is also deceitful.

Do not waste your hard earned €80 on any of these books, they are basically a con job. This is a huge amount of money for what is essentially a rehash of standard text book material and exercises and a very simplistic view of mathematics learning. I have no idea why the reviews so far have been so positive, perhaps the author is flooding Trustpilot with positive reviews as part of their hard sell campaign.

Update (01/02/2026) to my original review replying to Dublin Math's reply below.

I am not trying to harm anyone's business. This was an honest, thoughtful review from an experienced mathematics educator with a long history in mathematics education.

The reason Dublin Math's does not have my name as a purchaser is because it was a parent of two JC HL students who approached me saying their children had begged them to buy the JC HL book based on the zealous advertising campaign on TikTok. The parent was wondering whether it was worth the €80. They were essentially badgered into buying this book by their children. I quickly surmised it was not worth €80 and my review highlights some of the reasons why this is.

Dublin Math's replies to my points just highlight the amateur approach they have taken with this book. To insist a Quadratic has three terms by saying sometimes the x-term and/or constant term is zero is actually embarrassing to read as an educator. A quadratic has an x-squared term, that's all it needs as it relates to a quadratic rate of change of a function.

Dublin Math's pathetic response to my review pointing out that their book incorrectly states that something changes signs when moving from one side of an equation to another is again highlighting their lack of knowledge of basic mathematical operations. Consider -3x = 15, x=15/-3, x =-5. The -3 did not change signs.

The rest of their replies to my points were equally pathetic and embarrassing, only highlighting that Dublin Math's are charlatans pretending to be the holy grail of mathematics education.

Buy the book if you wish but realise that in the medium to long term, this book will offer very little to students other than perhaps assisting them in a review of material before exams.

I bought this for my daughter LC higher maths, she loves it, has really helped her revise and make sure everything was covered over all topics

I am very pleased with the Maths Made Simple Junior Cycle Higher Level book that I recently bought for my daughter. Although she is only in second year, and can sometimes find maths classes a bit overwhelming, this book has already made a noticeable difference. Having just started using it after Christmas, she has completed several exercises and is genuinely enjoying the material. The clear explanations and well-structured exercises seem to support her learning and boost her confidence. I also appreciate the option for an introductory one-to-one call, which adds valuable support. Overall, I would highly recommend this book to other parents and students looking for extra help with Junior Cycle Maths.

I purchased the HL LC book for my son and he has found it very helpful throughout his exam revision. I would recommend this book and dublinmaths.ie, they have been so pleasant and helpful to deal with.

My son did the Maths Christmas Crash Course with Thibaud and found it great. He said the tutor explained things as often as people requested, and was a really good teacher. He would definitely do another course with him.

Did a Christmas crash course with Eva. It was very usefull for me although at times it was a little slow to get through questions. That said this meant it was very thourough.

Really helpful and great timing during the christmas break in preperation for mocks

Did the Christmas leaving cert crash course with Emma and it was phenomenal. I have done one other course with Dublin maths and I couldn’t recommend them more. Emma has a great way of explaining things and does the class at a very good pace
