Product Details
Irish

Our Irish Paper One book is authored by the exceptionally experienced Máire Ní Cheallaigh, Irish teacher from the Institute of Education. Máire has a particular interest in debates and spent more than 20 years preparing students to participate in Gael Linn debates. 

Maths

McAndrew Books is proud to be adding a maths book course to our range of products, launching early next week. Written by the exceptionally charismatic and experienced Brian Scully, the booklet will guide students through the hardest aspects of LC maths. For teachers in particular, the included videos are a masterclass in how to explain complex topics understandably and clearly.

Accounting

The theory aspects of the Accounting paper in the Leaving Cert are often poorly answered. It is important to understand that often, the difference between someone achieving an H1 and an H2 is their understanding of Accounting Theory.

This book takes the theory elements of the accounting course, which can account for up to 10% of the exam, and combines them together in one easy to follow guidebook. In essence, this book is a “one stop shop” for the theory elements of the accounting course, thereby saving students the task of locating this information throughout their textbook.

She has also worked with the State Exam Commission, correcting both Junior and Leaving Cert English.

McAndrew Books is proud to present the very first step-by-step guide to the Economics research project. With "walk through" clips throughout, this guide is designed to give your Economics project a solid foundation and a framework to follow. Maeve and Rob are experienced economics teachers, and they understand the challenges that come with structuring and organising your work, especially when you're aiming to meet specific marking criteria.

Chemistry

The Leaving Certificate Chemistry syllabus is a long and challenging course. It is quite normal for students to feel a little lost and overwhelmed. The goal of this book is to break down and isolate the concepts into easily learnable definitions.

Biology

She has been teaching Biology at the Institute of Education, since 2013, has worked with the State Examinations Commission for several years, and has authored mock papers for Examcraft from 2017- 2021.
