What is Boost?
Boost is a teaching and study aid that is free for teachers.
It's currently available in three subjects:
Boost your class' performance
Help each student keep up with the speed of the class:
- If you or one of your students have been missing, you can set Boost material to help them catch up
- If a student hasn't taken complete notes, Boost material can subsidise that to help them fully revise
Help your students study efficiently
With such a large curriculum to get through, it's important your students study as efficiently as possible.
- Boost fills their knowledge gaps quickly; everything they need is in one place
- The bite-sized, subtopic videos mean they don't have to sit through long videos to find a concept
Help students with all learning styles
Since students have different learning styles, Boost includes many interactive features, and is designed to help students who:
- Experience a high affective filter in group environments or are easily distracted
- Don't always feel comfortable letting other people know when they don't understand something

FAQs
Any Boost add-on lasts for the duration of the school year (until July 1st).
No, you can buy a Boost subject add-on without having to buy Plus or Premium. While we recommend you do so that you get the best chance possible to study with the best resources, it is not necessary, and you can stay on Basic while having a Boost add-on.
Currently, Boost is available in the following subjects and levels:
- Leaving Cert Biology, higher level only
- Leaving Cert Maths, higher and ordinary level

We'll be adding more subjects soon so stay tuned. Don't hesitate to get in touch via info@studyclix.ie to let us know which subjects you'd like to see Boost in the most.
The main difference is the price. Boost for each available subject only costs €49.99, and you get access for the school year. A grind costs roughly the same but for each session, of which you might have many throughout the year.
Boost offers in-depth explanations of topics & concepts, tests your knowledge and provides insider tips and advice on how to succeed - much like a grind! The only thing Boost doesn't offer is an in-person experience where you can chat one-to-one with a tutor, but we've put a lot of effort into our videos to make it feel like the teacher is right there with you, teaching you all you need to know.
We asked our users to recommend the best teachers in their school who positively impacted their learning. We also contacted state examiners for the Leaving & Junior Cycle exams. We then asked these teachers to create Boost content for us. They are highly knowledgeable and well-trained in their respective subjects. Check out their bios here to find out more about the individual teachers and their qualifications.
Definitely! The structure and content of Boost is based on the science of learning. This means we've laid the content out in such a way as to optimise how you learn and ensure you stay engaged while studying.
The content is all bite-sized so it never feels daunting - just click on your first lesson and we'll take it from there!
We sure do - all mandatory experiments are covered in detail, ensuring you have all the knowledge you need on the day of the exam, and that you understand it too!
You can indeed. Look out for this symbol on any of the notes to print them out:
Boost is more effective than a revision book thanks to the interactivity element. Our videos help to keep you engaged and create a feeling of being in a tutor's lesson. Boost also has test-yourself tools which track your learning and help to keep you on the path to success.
Absolutely. Boost works across all devices and browsers, so you can use Boost wherever it's most convenient for you.
