My name is Christopher Murphy. I’m a qualified Maths and Biology teacher with a focus on clarity, structure, and results. I’ve spent the past few years at Alexandra College Dublin, beginning during my teacher training and continuing as a full-time member of staff.

.

I hold a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Maths, Biology and Science Education from UCD, where I also completed a structured elective in Irish. I’ve taught students across all levels and abilities, and I’ve seen the difference the right approach can make, not just in grades, but in confidence and mindset.

.

My love for teaching started long before I stood in front of a classroom. It began in first year of secondary school, when my Irish teacher encouraged me to go to the Gaeltacht. He was the kind of teacher who made learning feel exciting, and I trusted him. I went, and I loved it. I went back every summer, and by Transition Year I was invited to return as a Cinnire (youth leader). I went on to lead for several summers, helping students fall in love with learning, not by forcing it, but by making it enjoyable, real, and alive.

.

That’s still what I aim to do in every class. MurphyGrinds is about more than just content delivery. It’s about giving students the energy, structure and motivation they need to thrive, and making sure they feel supported every step of the way.

.

My lessons are focused, carefully structured, and built on years of classroom experience. But more than that, they’re driven by the same spark that got me into teaching in the first place, to inspire students to learn, and to believe in their ability to succeed.

If you’re looking for a place where lessons are clear, consistent, and motivating, you’ll feel right at home here.
