If Your Teen Hates Maths, This 3-Step Formula Will Help

    I’ve been travelling all over the country delivering seminars and working with students – hence the delay with this week’s Monday Motivation. But this is worth waiting for!

    Last week on my coaching programme I noticed something interesting.

    When I looked through the accountability forms from my coaching students, nearly one in three said the subject they’re struggling with most is Maths.

    This hit home!

    When I was doing the Leaving Cert, the subject I wrestled with most was also Maths.

    In fact, it is estimated up to one third of Irish secondary students get grinds in Maths.

    Of course they award 25 extra points in maths in the CAO so there is huge incentive for students to push themselves to study Higher Maths.

    That’s why I created this week’s video:
    🎥 My 3-Step Formula to Help Your Teen Go Up 4 Grades in Maths
    (Watch time: 6 mins 27 secs)

    video preview

    In the video, I share:

    • The story of a student who turned his Maths results around quickly
    • My big “Maths hack” for building confidence and results
    • A simple daily process your teen can start using straight away

    Back when i was doing the Leaving Cert there was no such thing as study skills — and neurodiversity wasn’t even a word in schools.

    Thankfully today, things have changed.

    With the right awareness, mindset, and method, any teen can improve their Maths (even if they think as I did that “I am no good at Maths”).

    My goal is simple:
    To help you help your teen build confidence and motivation in school.

    Maybe this video coaching newsletter can help.!
