A tutoring centre on Clyde Road in Browns Bay that teaches English and maths to children from Year 1 to Year 13 in small groups. It is part of the Kip McGrath network, which the centre says was founded in 1976 and now has over 65 New Zealand locations and an online tutoring platform.
The centre starts with a free, no-obligation assessment done by a qualified teacher. The results decide the level a child starts at in the programme, and a tailored learning plan follows. The centre says each child meets their tutor every week, and that families receive regular progress reports. Parents on the website describe a child who grew confident with maths, a child whose reading age rose by two years in about six months, and a grandchild who came back to school confident after a test showed where she was struggling.
The centre is at 76 Clyde Road in Browns Bay. Assessment times are booked through the website, from 8am to 8pm. Our pick in Browns Bay for a child who needs catch-up or confidence in English or maths.
