The experts at Kip McGrath Howick know what it takes to empower young learners to succeed as they mature into focused and educated adults.
Director Theresa Bosch is an experienced education professional, having held senior roles at Baradene College and Saint Kentigern College, two of the country’s best secondary schools.
She says Kip McGrath Howick, located in Moore Street, has a legacy of more than 40 years in educational support and serves as a “beacon of hope and excellence” for students striving to reach their full academic potential.
It provides personalised tutoring that caters to each student’s unique needs by offering tailored programs in mathematics, English, reading, and comprehension.
“Our experienced and passionate tutors use proven methods and innovative tools to help students from primary to secondary school levels,” Theresa says.
“Every student who comes here does an assessment. Then based on that we load those activities into our customised lesson plan, and that means you’re targeting the learning gap.
“When that learning moves into long-term memory, when they get reassessed that knowledge should be embedded so they can then pass that activity or assessment. That makes it easy for us to plot their progress for parents.”
Kip McGrath Howick’s tutors are experts in their respective fields.
They provide a supportive and encouraging learning environment and work closely with students to build their confidence and academic skills.
“We incorporate a variety of interactive tools and resources to make learning engaging and effective,” Theresa explains.
“From digital platforms to hands-on activities, our approach ensures students remain motivated and interested.
“Parents are kept in the loop with regular progress reports and feedback sessions. This transparency helps in tracking the student’s improvement and making necessary adjustments to their learning plan.”
Kip McGrath Howick fully understands the importance of education to the Chinese community. About 25 per cent of its current students are Asian Kiwis.
“We’re committed to providing a supportive and culturally sensitive environment,” Theresa says.
“We recognise the high academic standards and aspirations within the Chinese community and strive to meet these expectations through our rigorous and comprehensive tutoring programs.
“Our centre is equipped to support students who may be transitioning from different educational systems or who require additional help with language proficiency.”
Theresa knows that Kip McGrath works as she’s seen it transform so many of her students’ lives.
“I had a mum not too long ago. She said, ‘Theresa, you have changed my child’s life forever’.
“I said ‘no, it’s not me, it’s the programme, the tutors, everything that works together’.”
