    If their website full of spelling errors is any indication, I wouldn't waste my money - free or not.

    I don't know about this? but i went to their free grinds for English and Economics and found them really helpful!! if you think it won't take time out of your own study i would go , i thought they were great.

    In each of the teacher biographies, it mentions that they are members of their subject association/Teaching Council of Ireland. This means squat. All teachers have to register with the teaching council and any teacher can join a subject association for typically a fee of less than €50 per year. If that's their unique selling point, I'd wonder if there is much more to offer.

    Also many of the books they are claiming these people have published I can't find online. Is the word 'textbook' being used very loosely to mean the ream of photocopied notes you would receive in this centre??

    EDIT: Yes, they are their own book of notes. Not exactly what I would class as a definition of a textbook.


    This kind of thing seems a bit waffly.

    Our teachers measure their own teaching effectiveness
    and efficiency by their students’ growing confidence and exam success.


    Selling your teachers as book authors because they hand out a bundle of notes in class is nothing special. All teachers are book authors by that definition.
