English Tutoring

Kip McGrath provides tuition for students in English between the ages of 5-17; from Kindergarten to Year 12.

The curriculum covers all aspects of English that students are expected to learn in school (where English is the first language). The programme is carefully designed so that each student progresses at his/her own pace. A student can start anywhere within the Kip McGrath programme at exactly the level suited to his/her current ability and knowledge.

All children are given a FREE initial assessment to identify areas where learning needs to be concentrated. An individual learning programme is tailored for your child based on the assessment results.

Early Reading Intervention:  designed to develop and motivate young readers

Depending on age, children can progress from this programme to the Kip Reading Programme as their reading skills improve.
