Project Maths Tuition and Intensive Courses at the South East Learning Centre

THE South East Learning Centre specializes in helping students of all abilities in Junior and Leaving Cert subjects. It is the only centre of its kind in Wexford Town and was established in 2004 by mathematician Kevin Breen. Its primary goal is to improve their students’ understanding, skills and ultimately their performance in examinations. A combination of small class size, attention to detail and an appreciation of subjects are key to achieving this.

The South East Learning Centre offers expert tuition in Mathematics, Irish, Chemistry, Biology, French, German, Accounting and Business Studies. All subjects are taught at all levels ranging from secondary 1st Year to 6th year. Mathematics is also taught at Third Level. Students typically attend once a week per subject and the class duration is one hour.

Experience shows that students who struggle in maths typically have one or more gaps in their knowledge of that subject. The majority of students who have issues with maths invariably point the finger at algebra as their stumbling block. Algebra underpins all aspects of maths and contains the rules for “doing maths”. Without sound algebraic skills, otherwise able students will not be able to answer maths questions put to them. The South East Learning Centre maths classes place algebra and logical problem solving methods firmly at the heart of the learning process.

Maths and Irish intensive courses are held in April and May. Both Leaving and Junior Cert maths intensive courses are split over two days covering Paper 1 and Paper 2 respectively. Caution! Intensive courses are not a silver bullet and have been known to have a distressing effect on students who leave everything until the last minute. Students who want assistance with any of our subjects are advised to seek help earlier rather than later. The South East Learning Centre is located at 3 Mary Street, Wexford Town. Classes take place from 4:30 to 9:30pm weekdays and all day Saturdays. It is owned and run by Kevin Breen. Kevin has over 26 years teaching maths at both second and third level in Ireland and Japan. Kevin holds a bachelor’s degree in maths and physics from Trinity College, Dublin, a master’s degree in applied mathematical science from Dublin City University, is a member of the Institute Of Physics of Ireland and is a fluent Japanese speaker.
