No, they are small group grinds. If a student needs extra support, I organise a one-to-one session with them.

No, students must sign up for the term. Weekly grind classes are not stand-alone classes and knowledge of the material taught in the previous class will be required each week. If a student misses a week, a recording of the grind can be sent to the student.

Gillian’s approach makes the Leaving Cert English syllabus accessible to all students by providing them with a straight-forward method for learning the course material and most important of all, equipping them with a method/formula for writing their answers. Students thrive when they are given a method to apply to exam answers, be that Shakespeare, Poetry or Paper 1 essays. Her students’ results are testament to this successful approach.
