Minds Matter

Minds Matter is one of Ireland’s leading English exam revision providers, serving the needs of Irish secondary school students who would like additional support in reaching their full potential. Minds Matter helps students learn 'how to study' and gives practical workshops utilising evidence based strategies. Founder, Jenny, has experience working with students with Additional Educational Needs (AEN), students seeking to improve their grades to those striving for H1's. All students are welcome and can benefit from these webinars and courses at Minds Matter: Everyone Learns Differently!

What's happening?

Minds Matter believes that inclusivity is the cornerstone of our company. Here at our revision courses, students will discover a learning environment where every student's unique mind is celebrated. Our webinars and courses are tailored to support all learners, ensuring inclusivity and personalised teaching.

While Ireland has made strides towards supporting neurodivergent students, significant challenges remain. Under-supported by the mainstream school system, AEN students are often left behind, leading to anxiety, depression, and limiting teens' ability to engage at school.

With their large class sizes and hefty price points, even well-regarded 'grind schools' fall short of meeting students' needs. My aim is to make studying and learning more accessible for all.

These courses and webinars aim to support any student who feels they need assistance in their journey. Whether you are aiming for a H1 or to pass the exam. I hope to foster life-long learning skills across numerous subjects.

What do AEN teens need?

I am a huge advocate for students with Additional needs. Students who learn differently need teaching that acknowledges their strengths and tackles their challenges, which may include ADHD, ASD (Autism/Asperger's), Dyslexia, slow processing speeds and poor working memory.

“We were blessed to meet Jenny over the Summer when she taught my daughter for July (Summer) Provision. We have continued to work with Jenny privately as an English grinds teacher after the summer months. My daughter is neurodivergent and has poor working memory. Although she is in the mainstream school system, she has been left behind due to a late diagnosis. Jenny has not only enabled my daughter to approach the English Leaving Cert at a higher level, but her lessons have shown my daughter how to learn, and she can apply these skills to her other subjects. I wish we had found Jenny years ago - she has a gift and can use it. Her Easter Grinds course will be a game changer for many kids and I can’t recommend Jenny highly enough
