I was nervous today

Breakthrough Maths is sponsoring a huge tournament with England Hockey this weekend.

Really wasn’t sure how we’d be received.

But tbh, it’s been one of my best days.

The welcome, the chats and the craic I had with the parents, coaches and players was unreal.

Today was a huge milestone 🙌

My life, on paper, is weird.

- people shout “that’s the maths fella” when I walk down the street

- 1 million people watch my videos every week

- over 7,000 students improved their maths with us last year


Despite:

- not having a teaching degree

- struggling with maths myself


But that’s why it worked.

I was bored in Maths class. So I designed the kind of lessons I wish I’d had.

I smile reading reviews saying they actually look forward to a Breakthrough Maths class 😊

For me, that’s magic

6 years into Breakthrough Maths

Fierce excited for what’s to come 🙌

God I love this job.

If you haven’t followed ‪@GaeilgeoirGuides‬ yet, you should.

Eamonn is doing Trojan work for spreading the love of Gaeilge around the world.

Spent the day yesterday in the Phoenix Park with him. He’s infectious. Pure love for Irish.

Maths and Irish are similar. People tell themselves stories that that they are “not able”.

I’ve never bought that. Everyone can learn, everyone can try. It’s overcoming that initial mental block. I think enthusiasm is 90% of the battle there.

Teachers like Eamonn inspire.

GRMA 🙏

I really did not expect things to change this much in the 5 years since I started Breakthrough Maths.

The needs of students have changed massively, and no one is really talking about it.

Last year, 1 million children were referred to mental health services in the UK.
That's 1 in 10 kids REFERRED.
It's doubled since COVID.

The education system is under huge pressure. We're seeing the needs of students change.

I talk to parents every day.
They tell me their children are too anxious to go to school, they are dreading homework, and they can't face exams. They say they feel completely lost.

I started Breakthrough Maths when tutoring was just about exams.
Now it's about building confidence more than anything, giving children the support they need to take on the day. That's the truth.

I don't know what the next 5 years will look like, but students have changed, and the system needs to follow suit.

Schools should be student-first.

What would you change?
