Study Home

Study Home is in Carlow at Clayton Court on Staplestown Road, and it welcomes students from Carlow town. Its premises are on the map, so you can plan the journey before you go. Ask the centre whether it can also support students in nearby towns before you book.

A Leaving Cert tutor should have a qualification in the subject they teach and enough recent experience with the Leaving Certificate syllabus. Ask whether the tutor is Garda vetted, since that is the check to look for when a tutor works with young people. Check that the tutor teaches the exact subject and level your child is studying.

Ask what each session covers, how long it lasts and which subjects and levels the tutor can teach. It is usual in Ireland for a tutor to agree goals with the student and family at the start, so you can ask how progress will be tracked. Find out too whether materials are provided.

You can book Study Home by phone or through its website, and Locufy also has a page for the centre where you can send a request. When you get in touch, say which subject and level the student is studying, how often they would like lessons, and whether they prefer in-person or online sessions.

Ask what the centre charges up front, if anything, and how much notice it needs to cancel or move a lesson. It is usual in Ireland for tutoring providers to set out their cancellation terms before lessons begin, so you can ask to see them in writing. Check whether a missed session is still charged and whether you can make it up.
