Kip McGrath Tauranga is an English and maths tutoring centre on Level 1 of Fraser Cove Shopping Centre, 251 Fraser Street, Tauranga South. It teaches primary and secondary students from Year 1 to Year 13. Each 60-minute session gives one-on-one attention from a tutor, with written and computer-based activities in a small group setting. The centre is owned by a qualified teacher who has owned a Kip McGrath centre since 2010. Kip McGrath was founded in Australia in 1976, and the website says it has more than 65 locations across New Zealand, plus an online tutoring platform.
The free assessment is obligation-free and carried out by a qualified teacher. The results decide the level a child starts at, and a tailored programme follows. Students meet their tutor every week and get regular reports. Assessment times on the booking form run from 8am to 8pm. One parent quoted on the website says a grandchild who was behind at school is now doing well, with her confidence back. Another says their daughter's fear of maths has gone and she now answers questions in class.
