Over 45 years on... and still making a difference.

Kip McGrath has an international reputation as a trusted and innovative provider of quality supplementary English and maths education.

At Kip McGrath, we steadfastly believe that every child deserves the right to read, write and calculate well enough to choose their future. Using great programmes, individually customised learning programmes, motivated and skilled teachers; we are making a tremendous difference in the world today.

Kip McGrath was founded in Maitland, NSW Australia in 1976 by Kip and Dugnea McGrath with the sole purpose of building a brighter future for children who were struggling with their education. Their ideology was simply that, “every child can learn, they just need to be taught properly.”

The first tuition centre was in the family garage, where Kip and Dugnea would tutor local children who needed help with their literacy and numeracy. Kip developed a remediation learning system, based on assessing the child to identify the gaps in their learning. From this assessment, a personalised programme is devised to meet the child’s learning needs.
