About Us
Our teaching philosophy
While our style may be relaxed. we take our responsibilities to you and your children seriously.
We realise how precious children are, and that our service is a significant cost item in any household budget.
It is our aim to provide excellent tuition that makes a positive impact on achievement and self esteem.
We employ qualified and experienced teachers to teach new concepts, to praise and to motivate, to give high quality feedback immediately, and to build a trusting, working rapport with our students.
Our computer programmes provide the drill and repetition that is essential for building long term memory and fluency. The children find the programmes easy to use and enjoy the smiley faces that show they have answered correctly.

Our Tutors
The members of our tutoring team are all trained primary and secondary teachers. They bring a wealth of teaching and worldly experience to our centre.
In addition they receive specific training about the Kip McGrath resources and in delivering the Kip McGrath programmes.
They are caring professionals doing their best for your child.
Joy Ramsey
Has a primary teaching background with classroom teaching interrupted by raising a family.
Joy has been particularly good at working with our older boys on English programmes, perhaps because she has teenage sons of her own. Her acting experience also comes in handy and provides us all with entertaining distractions.
