The right tutor, not just any tutor
Compare tutors properly before you book: what they teach, how they teach, what they charge and what other students said.
Search your way
Filter by subject, Leaving Cert or Junior Cycle, level, county and price. Every profile shows the tutor's experience, subjects and hourly rate.

Get matchedVetting we check by hand
We approve every tutor before their profile goes live and read each Garda vetting disclosure ourselves before the badge appears.
Reviews from real lessons
Only students who have finished a lesson with a tutor can review them, and tutors can reply.
Free intro lessons
Some tutors offer a free intro lesson, so you can see if you click before you pay. Look for it on their profile.
Online or in person
Most grinds happen online, from anywhere in Ireland. Some tutors also teach in person in their area.
Ask before you book
Send a tutor a question first. Messages stay inside GrindSpot, so nobody needs your phone number.
Additional needs support
Tutors with experience of dyslexia, ADHD, autism and other needs carry a badge on their profile.
Additional needs & SENGroup lessons
Some tutors run small group lessons for the same subject, at a lower price per student. You'll find them on the tutor's profile.
Under 16? A parent or guardian signs consent online before you can book or message a tutor. It takes them two minutes.
A classroom built for grinds
No Zoom links, no apps to download. You join from your lesson page on GrindSpot, in your browser.
Video classroom
Our own private video room, just you and your tutor. It opens in your browser at lesson time.
Shared whiteboard
Draw graphs, work through equations and sketch diagrams together, live, on the same board.
Lesson files beside the video
Your tutor shares worksheets and PDFs that open right next to the call, and you can answer a PDF in place.
Your work, all in one place
Everything from your grinds stays on your GrindSpot page for the whole year, subject by subject.
Homework
Answer on GrindSpot, or do it on paper and upload a photo. Your tutor marks it and hands it back with feedback.
Notes and feedback
The notes your tutor writes after lessons and their feedback on your work, kept by subject so you can look back before the exam.
