Find a Study Coach for Leaving Cert Students
Your child works hard. This teaches them how to study.
HowToStudy.ie connects Leaving Cert students with coaches who teach the skills that make grinds unnecessary — structure, retention, and real exam confidence.
All coaches are Garda-vetted, interviewed by us, and trained on our study-skills toolkit.

Why Parents Use the Platform
Not Grinds
Grinds go through subject content. Coaches on this platform teach students how to actually learn — planning, retention, exam technique. Skills that work across every subject, for every exam.
Coaches Who Get It
Two types of coach, one platform. Qualified Irish teachers who know the curriculum inside out, and recent top-scoring graduates who know exactly what got them there. You choose the fit.
Structured and Measurable
Every block of sessions has a clear structure. Scores are tracked. Parents get a debrief. You'll see the difference — not just hear about it.
Dublin and Online
Find a coach available in person in Dublin or online anywhere in Ireland.

Once your child knows how to study, AI tools like NotebookLM and Claude become genuinely powerful. Coaches show students how to use them as active study tools — not shortcuts. Learn more →
