Kip McGrath Education Centres were founded by two schoolteachers who made their fortune by helping other students gain an education. A small class of students, that had been formed to provide extra lessons for local students in the small mining village of Maitland, Australia, was the birthplace of Kip McGrath Education Centres. The two teachers, Kip and Dugnea McGrath, provided their students with extra lessons in English and mathematics. They reasoned that these two subjects were the foundations of all other fields that their students would be studying. This led them to provide extra lessons for students of different ages throughout the week. The original centre started in 1964 and is now an international franchise with over 500 centres in 14 different countries and has operated for over 5 decades.
The Kip McGrath Education Centre provides students with extra lessons in the core subjects that will help them succeed in their primary and secondary education. This is why parents bring their children to Kip McGrath Education Centres after school, so they can have the necessary fundamental skillsets. The students of the Kip McGrath Education Centre are given a supportive and comforting atmosphere that allow them to ask any questions that they may have. The lessons are provided in small cohorts so each student receives the attention and help that they need. The students are able to reach their full potential as they study the curriculum at their own pace. Parents of students who attend Kip McGrath Education Centres are able to see their children's improvement and are reassured that their children are progressing well.
The centre provides a franchise business model that allows centres around the world to be operated independently but still provide the same effective education to students. As the founders of the Kip McGrath Education Centre were teachers themselves, the curriculum provided is very pragmatic and considers the needs and wishes of the students. Today, the franchised business model of the Kip McGrath Education Centre provides students with an extra learning opporutunity that they can rely on for their education in the two core subjects that are the foundation of all other subjects. Parents around the world choose the Kip McGrath Education Centre for their children's extra education.
Established
Kip McGrath Education Centres started as a grassroots initiative by two schoolteachers who wanted to provide additional learning opportunities to children. The brainchild of Kip and Dugnea McGrath began as a small after-school program in Maitland, Australia. They started in their own backyard to help raise money for the local public school, offering lessons in English and math, which are fundamental to understanding most other subjects.
What began as a local charity soon became a global organisation. Today, Kip McGrath Education Centres offers its services in 14 different countries and has helped more than 500,000 students. It has been providing extra classes to students between the ages of 4 and 18 for over fifty years. Most of those who attend these classes are primary and secondary school students attending the extra lessons after their regular school hours to get additional insight into specific topics.
These extra classes offer a small-group, personalised, and comprehensive experience that enables students to ask as many questions as they need to truly understand the given topic. This is why children love Kip McGrath Education Centres, as they have a safe space to explore and make mistakes, and parents enjoy seeing the improvement in their child’s progress in the two most important school subjects.
By basing the system on their own experiences as teachers, Kip and Dugnea McGrath created an organisation that values the practical and compassionate aspects of the educational process. It has a worldwide presence but still caters to the specific needs of the community and region. People across the world use the services of Kip McGrath Education Centres, which offer an opportunity to get extra help in English and Math.

Core Educational Methodology
- Qualified Teachers: All lessons are conducted by qualified and experienced schoolteachers instead of at University or by peers
- Free Assessment: Before registering, a full assessment will be carried out so that teachers can pinpoint exactly where a student needs help and create a bespoke learning plan for that student whether they need assistance in reading, spelling, comprehension, or maths
- Lessons are one to one within a small group (average of 4-6) rather than a generic group lesson.
- Lessons may be attended either face to face in a learning centre or by way of a live online classroom

Review
We've been using Kip McGrath Tutoring services for my 15 year old son for the past few months and it has truly made a difference. His grades and confidence have improved significantly. They provide a thoughtful follow-up report after each session to keep me informed about his progress. When it comes to scheduling they are flexible, understanding and helpful. I recommend Kip McGrath for any parent looking for quality academic support!

So grateful to Kip McGrath especially to Mr. Rory, for helping my son overcome his struggles with his Math subject. Last week my son graduated from Senior Highschool with high honors. Without Mr. Rory's help and guidance, my son wouldn't have reached this academic milestone.🎉 …

Kip really helped my son with school and the staff always show hospitality. We have been going to Kip for years and Kip have shown that they really do make a difference. Kip is a no brainer if you really want your child to improve
