Congratulations to the over 70,000 students who got their Leaving Cert results today!! There's nothing that you can't achieve going forward!!!

This day will always be a day of great memories for me, as my record from 2023 of being the youngest person to ever sit a Leaving Cert exam (maths) remains for at least another year!! (I did it in 6th class in national school, and was just 12 years old!!). Look at the squirty little head on me in this RTE clip from 3 years ago!!! 😂

But I'm only going into TY, don't have any points, and yet I've already used Education in the most positive way ever to start my own successful business, and to run a national advocacy campaign that has received over €30million of Government funding to date!!

So my message to everyone today is that IT'S NOT WHAT YOU GOT - IT'S HOW YOU USE IT!!!!

I hope the students have the best night ever, and please stay safe!!! 💗

MY MATHS GRINDS ARE OFFICIALLY BACK!!!!

People who follow this page since 2022 will know that I hold a unique record, that I'm the only person in Ireland's history to sit Junior Cycle & Leaving Cert exams (maths) while still in national school, scoring 97% both times, with the Junior Cycle result being live on The Late Late Show !!!

I started giving online one-to-one maths grinds two years ago through my CRO registered business, and I've been hugely successful since!!

Now that I'm starting Transition Year, I'll have more slots available, so please take a look at my website www.caradarmody.ie if you're looking for something different!!

In my opinion, one of the main reasons that children find maths difficult is a belief that they'll "never use this in real life" - I change that outlook IMMEDIATELY!! They may also suffer from a lack of confidence or focus.

90% of parents who booked me last year said that they did so because they truly believed that I'm a hugely positive & influential person, and they wanted their son/daughter to be listening to someone who could directly relate to any issues that might be holding them back. They also wanted me to sprinkle some of my 'positivity magic' on them!! 😊

Once I encourage the student to see maths in a different light, we then encourage parents to put systems in place so that they need to pay the minimum necessary for grinds, to make the child self sufficient, thereby keeping money in your pocket!!

I cover from 1st class in national school, all the way up to Leaving Cert Ordinary level.

So please feel free to check out the maths page on my website, email [email protected] or call 086-8980104 - Maybe this could be the turning point for your amazing son or daughter!! Cara ###x

So it's less than 2 weeks until my Transition Year begins, and boy have I some year planned!! I'm now going to have way more time to expand my own business!!

I'm one of the few teenagers in Ireland who owns their own CRO registered business, and the greatest privilege of my life has been to take my Motivational Speaking business into corporations, banks, universities, schools, and disability-related events.

Two of my international highlights to date have been to address the EU in Brussels a few weeks ago, and to be Colin Farrell's keynote speaker at his Foundation's inaugural gala in Chicago. I'm also truly humbled to be Ireland's youngest ever MC of a major event.

My incredible speeches are all designed to inspire others to do amazing things, by using my huge achievements in advocacy & education to show how all obstacles can be overcome!!

And I always reveal the secrets of how I sat a Leaving Cert maths exam while still in national school, and how I obtained over €30million of funding from the Government for children with special needs!! The behind the scenes stories & gossip always get amazing laughs!!

So all information can be obtained on my website www.caradarmody.ie or feel free to contact us at [email protected] or 086-8980104.

One of my besties & I are just home from Day 1 of the Athletics Development Programme in Rockwell College, and I'm absolutely wrecked!!

And we've just had a mad idea where we signed up for The 2 Johnnies women's mini marathon in Cahir at 5pm on Saturday the 19th September!!! 💪🏃‍♀️

There must be an easier way to keep fit, like pressing buttons on the remote control!!! 🤣

Just came home from spending the day with one of my besties to find out that I'M GOING TO THE KATIE TAYLOR FIGHT ON SEPT 5TH!!!!!!
I can't believe it!!!
Biggest thanks to the best parents in the world, who said that this is a treat for all I do for others!! Thank you Mum & Dad!!!! 🩷

What a hectic day of thrill-seeking at Tramore amusement park!!! And then we capped it off with the biggest goujons ever at the Majestic Hotel!!

But I was amazed at how quiet it was generally down there, especially with such beautiful weather!! Is this a sign of the cost-of-living biting hard??? Hmmm!!!

Absolutely thrilled to get through my latest running sprint session!! It's never easy to do 20 x 200 metres, but it's even harder in this heat!! 🌞 So for anyone wondering where I get the toughness & stamina to do 50-hour protests, there's your answer!! 😊

And best wishes to the Irish athletes running in tonight's European Championships finals!!!

Co. Tipperary at it's most beautiful!! - heading towards Kilsheelan's bridge by the river Suir on my 30km cycle today!! It really feels like Heaven!! Hope everyone enjoys the incredible weather!!!! 🌞
