Sometimes children need a helping hand when it comes to learning maths or English. And the Kip McGrath Education Centres in Dundee, Angus and Fife are ready to help.
Founder Kip McGrath understood that every child learns differently and developed a methodology to help children to catch up and keep up in the core areas of English and maths.
Now, more than 40 years later, Kip McGrath Education Centres continue to tutor primary and secondary students all over the world to help them reach their full potential.
Developed for primary and secondary students
The system is based on how children perform in the free assessment tasks, which means they get placed at the correct level on the programme to learn all the necessary skills in either subject.
Every concept is taught systematically, and the student works through each topic area until they have caught up to their year level. This approach is thorough, structured and successful.
All children are given a FREE initial assessment to determine what year level they’re currently working at and to identify any learning gaps.
An individual learning programme is then created to target exactly what your child needs help with. The programme is carefully designed so that your child progresses at their own pace. Your child starts on the Kip McGrath programme at the level suited to their current ability and knowledge.
Maths tuition
The Kip McGrath maths programme covers all curriculum topics that students are expected to learn in school.
The programme is designed to teach children basic mathematical concepts which will help them understand and learn new concepts so they can catch up at school.
The programme also contains extension modules for when students are ready for more challenging work, and more complex and advanced activities for senior students who want to improve their skills.
In addition, the specialist high school maths teachers help to prepare students for their National 5 and Higher maths exams by addressing the specific curriculum areas that each student needs.
