Level the Playing Field

Access to quality exam preparation should not depend on your postcode, your school, or your family's means. H1Done brings the rigour of a private tutor to every student in Ireland — powered by AI, grounded in real SEC standards.

“With hard work, self-belief, and the right tools, any student from any school should be able to pursue the career they dream of.”

Founded by two brothers who navigated the Leaving Cert from a rural Kerry school without expensive grinds — and went on to careers in medicine and pharmacy using the exact evidence-based methods now embedded in this platform.

🔄

Retrieval Practice

Testing yourself is the single most effective study technique. Outperforms re-reading, highlighting, and summarising.

📅

Spaced Repetition

Distributing study over time dramatically improves long-term retention vs. cramming.

Cepeda et al., 2006
💬

Corrective Feedback

Immediate, specific feedback is among the most powerful influences on learning and achievement.

1-to-1 Tutoring Effect

Bloom's famous finding: personal tutoring produces a two-standard-deviation improvement in outcomes.

Bloom, 1984
🧩

Interleaved Practice

Shuffling problem types during study boosts the ability to discriminate and apply the right method under exam pressure.

Rohrer & Taylor, 2007

Pre-Testing Effect

Attempting questions before learning the material primes the brain and enhances subsequent study.
