“Children are getting ‘lost’ in the large class sizes at school,” says Julie Glass, director of Pietermaritzburg North Kip McGrath Education Centre.
With up to 40 learners in a class, it is not possible for teachers to give the individual attention required to each and every child in his/her class. Kip McGrath Education Centres provide assistance to learners who are finding certain academic concepts challenging in a non-threatening environment. They cater for learners who just don’t understand; learners who are frustrated, have given up and have a low self-esteem.
“We offer an objective, professional assessment and academic advice – for free! An individualised, remedial programme is designed to cater for each child to correct his/her specific problems. The tutoring is a “back to basics” rotational system with individual attention and personal care given by qualified teachers. Computer, written activities and regular feedback of child’s progress form an important part of the programme,” explains Julie.
Kip McGrath makes it easy for children to learn!
The Kip McGrath system is a resounding success in Australia (where it originated over 40 years ago), New Zealand and United Kingdom, as well as in South Africa.
The programme has been adapted to comply with the South African Education systems – CAPS, IEB and Cambridge. There are now more than 60 centres in South Africa.
“We are committed to helping each child enrolled at the centre to achieve the best that he/she can,” concludes Julie.
