The Irish STEM Institute’s team is made up of Irish Maths and Science teachers and university lecturers who have studied Bachelor degrees, Master degrees and PhDs in leading Irish Universities, namely, Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin, Dublin City University and NUI Maynooth. The team have a wealth of teaching experience having taught Maths and Science subjects at all levels in both schools and universities. Intensive research on international best teaching practices and STEM teaching methodologies was conducted by the team. This has been translated to our revision courses to ensure a stellar learning experience is achieved by our students. The team have first-hand experience at invigilating and correcting both Leaving Certificate and Junior Certificate exam scripts which gives cutting edge insight on ways to improve students’ exam techniques.
What makes us unique is our national and international teaching experience. All team members have taught and managed Maths and Science subjects in leading schools and teaching institutions, globally. This international experience has taught us how best to cater for students who have English as an additional language (EAL). We embed key EAL techniques within our lessons which is beneficial to both native and non-native English speakers due to the complexity of the exam question language. We are passionate about ensuring students progress and are fueled by the passion to educate.
