Every year, thousands of Irish students sit LC Business. Most of them are paying €40–60 an hour for grind teachers. Homeschool students are starting from scratch with a textbook that reads like a regulatory filing.
The structured knowledge is out there. The problem is accessing it — clearly, sequentially, at a pace that fits your life — without spending a fortune.
That's what Gradd fixes. Not a quiz app. Not a document library. An actual tutor, teaching the actual course, from the actual start.
One month of weekly grinds at €50/hour = €200+. That's per subject. Per month. Most homeschool families are paying for multiple subjects.
They tell you what's on the syllabus. They don't explain it, check your understanding, or prepare you to write for the marking scheme.
No teacher setting the pace. No class to keep up with. No one to notice when something hasn't clicked. You're on your own — until now.
SEC marking schemes reward a particular answer structure. Most students only discover this when they see their results. Gradd builds it in from Session 1.
Gradd delivers the full LC Business curriculum through a conversational AI tutor who knows the SEC syllabus, marks your answers, and never lets you move on until you're ready.
Gradd's AI tutor — Aoife — teaches in a specific sequence. Unit 1 first, then 2, then 3. You don't unlock Unit 4 until the checkpoints are passed. Curriculum first, chat second.
Every answer Aoife models uses the SRP structure (State → Relevance → Point) that SEC markers reward. Students see marking-scheme language from their very first session — not the week before the exam.
One month of Gradd costs less than a single grind session. It delivers more curriculum hours, more exam practice, and more progress tracking than any weekly grind teacher can offer.
No prior Business knowledge needed. Gradd takes students from scratch through all six units to full exam readiness.
5th year just starting Unit 1. 6th year mid-way through. Or exam-prep mode in the final months. Aoife calibrates the rest.
Aoife teaches every chapter of the SEC syllabus with marking-scheme language baked in. Each lesson covers Section A (short questions), Section B (ABQ), and Section C (long question) approaches as appropriate.
Every weak area is flagged and drilled before you move forward. You always know where you are in the syllabus and what needs work before the SEC sits you in June.
The complete SEC Leaving Certificate Business syllabus — Higher and Ordinary Level. 155+ structured AI sessions across 10–12 months at 4 sessions per week.
Stakeholders, consumers, employment law, industrial relations, WRC, and IBEC. The foundation everything else builds on.
Business planning, forms of business ownership, expansion, and government enterprise agencies. ABQ-heavy unit.
HRM, motivation theories, leadership styles, management functions, and organisational structure.
The full marketing mix, market research, branding, pricing strategies, and consumer behaviour.
Accounts, ratio analysis, cash flow, sources of finance, and financial planning. The highest-weight unit in the paper.
Business and the economy, government policy, taxation, inflation, employment trends, and the role of state agencies in Ireland.
Globalisation, FDI, EU, IDA, Enterprise Ireland, international marketing, and economic integration.
She teaches in plain English, uses Irish companies as examples, and never lets you move on until a concept is properly understood. She marks your answers the way an SEC examiner would.
Gradd isn't a chatbot you ask questions to. It follows the course in order — teaching each topic, checking understanding, correcting mistakes — until the student can answer exam questions properly.
Explanations, examples, check questions — every session uses the same four-stage loop that great teachers use.
Aoife teaches the SRP structure (State, Relevance, Point) that SEC examiners reward, and adjusts depth for HL vs OL.
AIB, Ryanair, Penneys, the WRC — the same names your examiner expects to see on the day.
Submit your answer. Aoife marks it against the SEC framework, identifies exactly where marks were lost, and shows you how to fix it.
Every session is logged. Weak areas are flagged and revisited. You always know exactly where you stand.
Saturday morning. Sunday night. Three weeks before the exam. Aoife shows up. No scheduling, no waiting.

Leaving Cert Business is the highest-uptake business subject in the country. Wherever you're sitting it from, however you're studying it — Gradd meets you where you are.
Your school doesn't run LC Business, but you want to sit it. CAO points add up — every subject counts. Gradd delivers the full SEC syllabus independently, so you can sit it as an external candidate or in your own time.
You're doing Leaving Cert at home, with parental supervision. You need a structured curriculum that takes you from beginner to SEC-ready without a teacher in the room. Gradd delivers the full syllabus, lesson by lesson, with exam technique built in.
You sat the exam and need a stronger result. You don't need to repeat the year — you need targeted revision on the specific chapters that cost you marks. Aoife pinpoints those weaknesses, drills them, and walks you back in confident.
Grinds in Ireland cost €40–60 per hour. A year of weekly grinds is €1,500–2,400. Gradd is €24.99 per month — a year of 24/7 tutoring for less than what a single month of grinds would cost. Same SEC syllabus. Same exam preparation. Different price point.
One honest comparison. Judge for yourself.
