Marton Centre Details
About Us
Marton Kip McGrath Education Centre is owned by Heather Tickner. It was one of the first centres established in New Zealand when it opened in 1993. Heather purchased the franchise in 2007 and operates from fabulous premises on Broadway.
The centre is open for after school tuition on Mondays and Thursdays.
Heather is a primary school teacher, with 20 years experience. Teaching multi-level classes in various country schools has provided her with a wealth of skills and experience necessary to recognise the individual needs of the wide range of students who seek tuition at Kip McGrath, Marton. Heather has a teenage son and daughter so has first-hand understanding of the issues that secondary school students and their parents are facing. |

Heather believes in the importance of learning in a safe, friendly & stimulating environment.
It is hugely satisfying to hear so many positive remarks from students and their parents when they walk in. We are fortunate to have such a spacious and private centre.
A warm welcome is assured! |
