Kip McGrath English, Maths and Science Tutoring - Sheffield South East

Kip McGrath Sheffield South East is a private tutoring centre that supports pupils from 5 to 18. The centre provides tutoring in English, Maths, Reading & Spelling, KS3 & KS4 Science, SATs & GCSEs, A Level Science, Maths & English, Confidence Building, and Entrance Exams. Naz Mahroof is the centre owner and has experience as a Primary School Teacher. All tutors are qualified teachers.

Kip McGrath was founded in 1976 by qualified teachers Kip and Dugnea McGrath in New South Wales, Australia, and has over 50 years of history. It has more than 500 centres worldwide. Small learning groups have no more than five students per session. A free assessment is offered, after which an individual learning plan is developed for each pupil. Lessons use a mixture of 1:1 teaching, the latest technology, and traditional pencil and paper methods. Kip McGrath centres are Ofsted Registered.

Small group sessions of no more than four pupils are a recurring feature at this Darnall centre, where GCSE maths students describe working steadily towards target grades under weekly hour-long lessons. Several parents single out tutor Mr Mahmood for lifting a child's predicted grade by more than one level over a single academic year, while others describe similar jumps ahead of Year 6 SATs.

Naz, who leads the team, is mentioned repeatedly for a welcoming introduction that explains how groups are structured around pupils working towards a shared goal, and for staying in touch with families as courses progress. English tuition sits alongside maths and science, with some families describing several years of continuous attendance from Year 5 through to Year 11 across siblings. A recurring thread in the reviews is confidence: pupils who arrived anxious about exams are described as growing steadier and more willing to attempt difficult questions as sessions continue.

Communication with parents, including updates outside of lesson time, comes up often, as does the sense that staff take a personal interest in each child's progress rather than treating the group as a single unit. The centre sits within Handsworth House on Handsworth Road and serves families across the Darnall and wider south-east Sheffield area.
