Group sessions
Groups of 6 to 18 students meet on a fixed weekly schedule. Participants bring their own budgeting situations, which creates comparison points that a solo lesson cannot replicate.
One subject, studied (seriously)
Sysyzoi focuses entirely on monthly budgeting — how money moves in and out over a 30-day cycle, where decisions compound, and where most households lose ground without noticing.
The platform runs both group sessions and private lessons, so a learner can choose based on what they actually need. Group formats work well when the goal is comparing approaches across different income situations. Private lessons are more useful when someone has a specific debt structure or spending pattern they want to work through in detail.
Instructors adapt the curriculum after the first session — not from a template, but based on what the learner shares about their current financial picture.
- Sessions run fully online, accessible from any county in Ireland with a stable connection
- Learning paths are revised every 3 sessions based on measurable progress, not assumptions
- No prerequisite knowledge — the starting point is wherever the learner currently is
Where students come from — and how sessions work
Geography stops being a barrier when the curriculum is built for remote delivery from the start.
Private lessons
One-to-one sessions run for 55 minutes each. The instructor spends the first 8 minutes reviewing what changed since the previous meeting before introducing new material.
Adaptive paths
After every 3 sessions, the instructor reviews the learner's progress notes and adjusts the next set of topics. This prevents covering ground the learner has already understood.
Live interaction
Questions go into a shared thread visible to the instructor between sessions. Responses arrive within 24 hours on weekdays, keeping momentum between scheduled meetings.

The instructors behind the curriculum
Each instructor holds a background in personal finance education and has worked with learners at different income levels.

Lead InstructorAoife has been teaching household budgeting for 9 years, working previously with community financial literacy programmes in Connacht. She designed the group session format used on this platform.
