My 2 teenagers attended Solomon Grinds in Lucan for both JC and LC. I found Caitriona to be extremely professional, patient and caring at all times. Communication was excellent.... read more I found all tutors exceptionally thorough, and really interested in their students. Caitriona was extremely kind and understanding to one of my teenagers, who has additonal needs. She went above and beyond at all times to help him, and offered extra assistence when he encountered any difficulties with a subject. I think you would be very hard pressed to find a grind school that looks after both teenagers wellbeing, and their academics as well as Solomon Grinds. I also found Solomon Grinds to be very fairly priced especially when compared to similar Grinds on offer. I would have absolutely no hesitation in highly recommending Caitriona and Solomon Grinds.

July 31, 2024We have used Solomon for over 7 year's and have found the staff to be excellent across a range of subjects. Our children attended the weekly maths, Irish and business... read more studies classes and also the intensive revision at both junior and leaving cert level. School grades definitely improved when attending Solomon and the pay as you go system was also a winner in the current economic climate. I would highly recommend Solomon to any parent looking to assist their children get through state exams. Classes are well paced and our children really benefitted from the smaller class size.

Solomon Grinds helped a lot for my son and daughter, both who have been attending since 2018. I found out about them through a family friend. It is in a... read more great location and very well accessible from different parts of Dublin and served with public transport as well. Teachers are brilliant and of course Catriona herself thought maths for my son and daughter both. Now my son is in 3rd year Medicine and my daughter is in LC this year. And defo Solomon Grinds helped our children to improve their abilities to understand a lot in French, Sciences, English & Maths. Very well thought and highly recommended and good value for money too!

August 13, 2024My son attended Solomon grinds for Spanish written and Oral, Irish and Maths. He attended the classes from September until just before his Leaving Cert and found the additional learning... read more to be excellent. He was struggling with the Spanish aural exams and the tips the teachers gave him were invaluable and he was able to apply the same tips for the Irish listening exam also. He found the teachers for all subjects to be very helpful and informative. I would highly recommend Solomon grinds and will be bringing my daughter for grinds when her time comes. Catriona is also brilliant and takes a personal interest in the students. Excellent service for an affordable price. Well done and thanks to Catriona and all the team.

Both my girls went to Solomon grinds. My eldest was very weak in Maths and her teacher gave her extra help plus coming up to the exams additional zoom... read more grinds to ensure she would pass her exams. She did really well and got into her preferred course. We also got a text wishing her well and a congratulations text. They really looked after her. My second daughter did Maths, Spanish and Computer Science. Computer Science was not on the grinds list and Solomon grinds secured an excellent teacher and my daughter would not have done so well without Solomon Grinds. All the teachers are excellent, focused and dedicated. The groups were small. I highly recommend Solomon Grinds - On reflection I wish I started bringing them a year or two earlier. Thank you to all the teachers in Solomon Grinds.

August 7, 2024The experience that my son had with Caitríona and Solomon Grinds changed his entire perspective about the upcoming Leaving Cert exam and Maths in general. I watched him grow in... read more confidence with each lesson when things finally started to make sense. The cost was also really competitive compared to private lessons which meant we could start earlier in the year and do 2 classes a week. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get some support with their school work and exams.
