Kip McGrath Education Centre

Welcome to Kip McGrath Education Centres AYLESBURY

Students who need extra help with literacy, numeracy and 11+ can benefit greatly from the world - renowned Kip McGrath programme. We also take pride in stretching the more academically able students.

The personalised programmes of study, which are aligned to the National Curriculum, are designed to give students the motivation to succeed. Progress is at the students' own pace so they are never overwhelmed. We emphasise the positive aspects of learning to every student. Failure is eliminated. Students try when they attend because achievement is there for all of them. This achievement is not only rewarding, it is fun and personal!

We provide a safe and focused learning environment, using exclusive curriculum resources. Students are not taught by phone, video or internet but by fully qualified and experienced classroom teachers.

From the moment students walk into our centres there are clear messages given to them; this is a place where I can learn and this is a place where it is fun to learn.

As a parent you know your child better than anyone else and, something is niggling in the back of your mind. Things just aren't going right at school. Perhaps you've spoken to the teachers and they have tried to put your mind at rest. But still something isn't right. Your son or daughter isn't happy, isn't doing well enough, and you know it's up to you to help.

That's where we come in.

We offer a completely free, no-obligation educational assessment and consultation for you and your child. Problems with reading and writing or numbers are very common and almost always respond to carefully tailored help such as we can offer. Alternatively it might be 11+ preparation or support for the child struggling to cope with GCSE in Maths or English that's needed. Whatever stage your child is at, we can help.

There are no present goals for your child to conform to. Each student has their very own, personally designed programme to follow. This programme is carefully adjusted as they make progress, to meet their exact needs at all times. As their confidence increases, their ability to learn will grow. Before long, you will be breathing a sigh of relief.

As a parent you care about your child's future, and you know their experiences at school can make all the difference to their happiness and success in later life.

We offer help when things aren't going so well.

Nine times out of ten it is lack of confidence which lies at the root of a child's failure to make good progress at school. Lack of confidence shows up as reluctance to go to school, apparently "going backwards" instead of forwards, or even being bullied or aggressive or simply miserable.

Our fully Qualified Teachers provide caring, reassuring and supportive tuition, which brings immediate improvement and lasting results across the board.

Each 80 minute lesson is made up of a variety of carefully planned oral, written and computer activities. The teacher first explains each concept, then, practice on paper and with the computer ensures the concept is properly understood and learnt. A careful balance of both achievable and challenging learning activities makes sure that your child experiences only success, which in turn builds confidence and concentration as well as independence, leading towards a love of learning.
