Wanaka Centre Details
About Us
The Wanaka Centre has been successfully providing after school Maths, English and Science tuition to children who need support with their schoolwork since 2001. The purpose built centre has gone from strength to strength and has justifiably gained a reputation in the local area for providing ‘excellent tutoring'. The centre is conveniently located on Kings Drive, Wanaka’s educational hub.
All the staff at Kip McGrath are highly qualified and experienced in their subject area. The centre has five teaching areas and has a friendly, bright and welcoming feel, which encourages all our students to feel relaxed, motivated and ready to learn. A teaching ratio of 1:4 and individual, personal programmes address the student’s specific needs.
Centre director Nikki Shaw has a reputation for being a motivator, her aim is to get the children to achieve their potential and believe in their ability. An increase of knowledge and the feeling of success results in students gaining in confidence. Out of school Nikki enjoys mountain biking, snow boarding and skiing. |

What We Do
Kip McGrath Education has an internationally trusted name in the field of private tutoring centres and supplementary education, with over 680 franchises in 20 countries.
We are catering for everyone from pre-schoolers to NCEA students. Our centres' tutoring programs offer advanced learning strategies, specialist learning skills for those needing a little extra help and motivation to succeed. Progress is always at the students' own pace and fun is an essential part of our formula.
All Kip McGrath Centres use a tutorial system based on a series of computer programmes, integrated with structured worksheets and textbooks. The programmes have been successful in helping children overcome problems in spelling, reading, writing and Mathematics and Science.

The Centre caters for both primary and secondary level children with a spectrum of abilities. Some of our students are high attainers and we challenge them even further with their schoolwork. Some simply need support, confidence and enthusiasm to learn. Some are those ‘invisible’ students in a class, not poor enough to get extra support and not able enough to get extended. |
All Kip McGrath material is graded so that progress is constant and accelerated. Children catch up as quickly as possible. The programmes are designed to give the children the motivation to succeed with challenging but attainable goals. They work individually at their own pace and failure is eliminated. As they achieve and succeed they find it both rewarding and fun.
Each child is given a free assessment prior to starting, parents concerns are established and the results of the assessments are discussed confidentially.
Following enrolment each student attends the centre once a week for 80 minutes, and follows their own individual programme. We aim to provide a relaxed, friendly and motivating learning environment where children feel comfortable and happy. Progress is carefully monitored and students are regularly re-assessed. Each child learns at their own pace and our aim is to give them the confidence they need to make real progress and achieve their full potential.
