About Us

The Kip McGrath Education Centre located in Browns Bay has been providing high quality professional tuition to students in the East Coast Bays area since 1993. During that time we have helped more than 3000 children to achieve their educational potential and develop a life-long love of learning.

The Centre Director, Michael Graham, has over twenty-five years of experience teaching students ranging in age from pre-school to tertiary level. He and the tutors at the centre have the experience and skills to recognise each student’s individual learning needs and to develop courses of study which boost students’ confidence and help them to thrive academically.

 

What We Do

 

As part of the internationally recognised and trusted Kip McGrath Education organisation, we offer individually tailored educational programmes for all levels of student from pre-school to tertiary, whether they are struggling, excelling, or anywhere in between.

Each new student is given a free consultation to establish their level, to discuss the parents’ concerns and to decide the most appropriate course of study.

Each student’s programme is individually planned, and proceeds at the student’s own pace. Studying at Kip McGrath is suitable for all students, from those who need extra help to catch up as well as those needing the challenge of extension work.

All Kip McGrath Centres use a tutorial system based on a series of computer and multi-media programmes integrated with structured worksheets and book exercises. Students work with their tutor in small groups and progress using carefully graded material. In this way students gain confidence by reaching challenging but attainable goals. Sessions run for eighty minutes (sixty minutes for seniors), once or twice a week. Students’ progress is assessed regularly and parents are given regular feedback.
