My 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.

July 31, 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.

I used Solomon Grinds for both my children in Senior Cycle in 2022 & 2023. They are small class based grinds and both my children said they got 1:1 attention... read more when needed & were always very happy leaving each session with a clearer understanding on every topic. It was amazing to see their confidence grow each week. Both their results dramatically improved for the LC with fantastic results & I would 100% highly recommend Solomon Grinds. Catriona is very professional & caring and made sure the students were happy leaving every class. A fantastic service from Solomon Grinds, well done?

July 31, 2024My 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.

The teachers are amazing! They helped me with both JC and LC topics. The maths teachers are very patient, and they break down the complicated maths topics into simple explanations... read more that helped me tremendously in my state exams and mocks. The language teachers (French, Romanian Irish and English) are amazing at helping students understand what exactly the examiners are looking for in their answers, all while showing them how to write an answer that is unique from the other answers that the examiners will correct.The business teacher gives great notes, as well as contemporary case studies and examples that students can use in their answers to get more marks. All teachers help students to think outside the box, whilst teaching them what to write in their answers that will get them the most marks in the exams.

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!
