Other Academic Subjects in Ireland
Lessons or coaching in an academic subject that is not on the standard school curriculum — classical studies, philosophy, economics, politics, theology, or a language not offered at the local school — usually run over weeks or months rather than as a one-off session. A student preparing for a university module, a Leaving Certificate subject studied outside school, or an adult returning to a subject after years away needs steady teaching rather than a single cram. Tutors in this category work online or in person, one to one or in small groups, and the shape of the arrangement matters as much as the subject itself. Post your task and describe what you need: the subject, the level, the exam or goal, and the days that suit you. On this Other academic subjects page you can open listed profiles by Irish county and write to the provider from there. Your task stays open for 30 days. Providers registered in this category can see it. Posting a task on ShamFix costs nothing today.
What shapes the price of other academic subjects
- What a tutor charges for this kind of teaching depends on several things, and you should ask about each before you agree to anything.
- The first is whether the price is per lesson or per block: a block of ten lessons is usually quoted at a lower rate per hour than a single lesson, but you are committing to the full block.
- The second is format.
- Online teaching removes travel and room costs, and it usually suits a subject taught mainly through discussion and reading.
- In-person teaching in a city like Dublin, Cork, or Galway may carry a higher rate because of travel and room hire, while a tutor in a smaller county may charge less.
