About Us
Welcome to Kip McGrath Pakuranga
....where your child works on their own individualised programme to meet their specific needs guided by a hand-picked, fully qualified New Zealand Curriculum based teacher.
WHO WE ARE
Our names are Lawrence and Debra-Kim Croggon and we opened our Pakuranga Centre in May 2006.
We are delighted to be able to offer programmes to improve confidence and competence for all ages from pre-schoolers right through to university.
Valuing the importance of education and having a genuine interest in helping students to succeed, we are delighted with the results our students achieve and are very proud of our centre and the reputation we have quickly built up for superb tuition in a warm, welcoming environment.
Lawrence is a NZ qualified and registered teacher with postgraduate qualifications in Science and Educational Psychology along with 18 years of experience working with children and young adults in the Health and Education sectors while I have extensive experience in the Primary system working as Teacher Support and hold a Trinity College qualification in TESOL.
Lawrence was born and bred in the Pakuranga/Eastern Beach areas attending Elm Park Primary School, Pakuranga Intermediate and Edgewater College. He is thrilled to have the opportunity to direct his expertise back into his own community.
I have lived in the Bucklands Beach area for the past 25 years with our oldest two children attending Bucklands Beach Primary School, Bucklands Beach Intermediate and Macleans College. We have a preschooler who goes to Bucklands Beach Public Kindergarten.
HOW WE WORK
We are both passionate about our centre and are committed to providing all of our students with the best possible individualised programme to cater for their needs whether it be remedial, consolidation, extension, exam preparation, the need to strengthen work habits and study skills, low self-esteem/self efficacy or lack of enthusiasm to learn.
Your child will work on their own customised programme, at their own level, at their own pace in a non-threatening environment. Because each child is working on their own individual programme fear of failure is removed allowing your child to progress without inhibition and therefore experience success. They are able to gain knowledge and develop skills to bridge their learning gaps or extend their learning and the huge boost in their morale and self-esteem, which comes hand-in-hand with their success, is an added bonus which influences all facets of their lives.
Our centre has a bright, relaxed and supportive feel which our students of all ages enjoy and respond positively to and we have a great team of very dedicated and caring tutors who are all fully qualified teachers with a wealth of experience in the New Zealand Curriculum.
So whether your child is struggling to keep up or bursting to race ahead we can make a real difference.
It is never too late nor too early.
Call us now and find out how we, Pakuranga Kip McGrath, can make a huge difference in your child's life now and help set them up for the future.
