Does my child need tutoring? By Julie Daniels, Kip McGrath Education Centre Willetton
P
arents often ask the questions, “Does my child need extra help to keep up at school?” “How do I know if my child is coping?” “What can I do?” The answer to these questions can be found at your local Kip McGrath Centre. Your child will be assessed to find out how he/she is coping and whether extra help is needed. Kip McGrath will then provide an individualised learning programme particularly suited to your child’s needs. For parents who find it too difficult to get their children to a centre there is now the option of Online Tutoring. This opens up a whole new world of opportunities for children to be tutored at home with a qualified, caring teacher taking the lesson in real time. Kip McGrath’s multi-million dollar advances in technology allow children to access the proven methods of tuition only previously available in-centre. All you need is an up to date computer and an internet connection. At Kip McGrath students work on individually designed programs with computer and manual activities to revise and consolidate their learning. They learn how to learn as well as what to learn.
Homework tasks are specifically designed to revise and consolidate the teaching and learning which takes place during sessions. Early intervention and development of confidence are the keys to getting on top of any issues that your child may be having with learning. By identifying areas needing attention, individualising programs, using quality resources and professional tutors, Kip McGrath centres are able to help students move forward with their learning. All students can learn given the right teaching and tutors at Kip McGrath Centres pride themselves on assessing, devising programs and quality teaching to give students the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Tailored Tuition

relationships with schools. In fact we have many teachers’ children attending! Classroom teachers know we will collaborate with them to ensure the needs of all children are being met.
These programs are innovative, groundbreaking and DIFFERENT.
The teachers at ICE find that some children need very visual methods, some need more structured spelling or comprehension and some children even need a lot of assistance to switch on their imaginations. The advantages of TAILORED TUITION model are that every child gets exactly the learning menu they need. “We prepare an engaging learning buffet of maths and literacy,” explained Victoria, “and then the children have their individual learning menu”.
Victoria Carlton explained, “We are not trying to compete in the mass tuition market. Our teaching is about tailoring our lessons and methods to suit children so we are NOT one size fits all. We are more like a “boutique” approach where your child can be assessed, put on a plan written and tailored for them and given work appropriate to their learning stage. We look at learning styles, promote creativity and believe ALL kids are smart- it is up to us to bring this out! Our lessons are very engaging with the latest in educational toys, literature and carefully chosen internet programs. Parents are a big part of our programs. We give free counselling and meet with parents regularly. All children receive individualised assessments at the end of each term.” When asked about relationships with schools Victoria added, “We enjoy excellent
