Niamh helped me with my 14 year old girl with her Maths. She was not necessarily struggling with ability, but she suffered from anxiety and had missed a lot of school. As we know Maths is based on building blocks, and she had missed quite a few blocks on the way.
What immediately impressed me about Niamh was how she found a way to communicate with my wayward teen, and gave her enough confidence to loose all fear of the obstacles ahead, she had her on side after the first hour. In fact my kid was looking forward to catching up on her Maths and working with Niamh!
She was 15 in the Feb and in her junior cert year. She had 20 percent attendance in her Maths classes for a year and a half. Niamh met her at Easter and between Easter and the junior cert, they worked together for 10 hours one to one. My girl sat higher level Maths and got a high C. But better than that, she understood Maths in a new way and developed a passion for it, that will remain with her.
Niamh has a very special way of working with teenagers, and understanding their individual learning styles and what it is they are competent at and what it is they struggle with in the vast landscape that is Maths. I recommend her without hesitation!
