Our programmes are all about putting your child first. We take the time to build solid foundations so they really understand what they're learning and feel confident tackling tasks on their own.
Bring them back to the basics
A study by the UCL Centre for Longitudinal Studies found that half of teenagers who did not pass GCSE English and maths were not meeting expected levels in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), suggesting that early language development is crucial for later academic success. We start out tutoring by bringing your child back to the root of their difficulties.
How do our free assessments work

Every lesson is planned with care and compassion to make your child feel like a SUPERSTAR!

Does Tutoring Work?
Absolutely, but don’t just take our word for it.
Take it from Julie, a Kip McGrath parent, who shared:
"My daughter attended Kip McGrath for help specifically with her division. It was quickly assessed to be a lack of understanding of pie graphs and fractions which she had fallen behind in Year 3."
This story highlights one of Kip McGrath’s strengths: identifying the root cause of academic issues, not just addressing surface-level symptoms. Once those foundational gaps are filled, children often progress rapidly and their confidence soars."
