About the company

Kip McGrath Aberdeen South provides high levels of maths and English tuition for both primary and secondary school children. Every child is assessed before receiving an individual learning programme focused on their specific needs, with sessions combining one-to-one tuition, bespoke computerised programmes and written activities.

The centre is part of the Kip McGrath Education Centres franchise, which began in 1976 when qualified teachers Kip and Dugnea McGrath opened the first centre in New South Wales, Australia.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Individually tailored teaching and the confidence it rebuilds are what parents return to most often when describing this Aberdeen tutoring centre. Families write about children attending for support with mathematics and English, frequently across many months or more than a year, and the recurring point is how lessons planned around each pupil's own needs and level produced steady academic improvement. Reviewers repeatedly mention weekly feedback, structured homework and a points-and-prizes scheme that kept younger learners motivated, along with an initial assessment that helped a nervous child feel welcome and at ease.

The named staff member Dani or Daniell is singled out regularly as approachable and willing to discuss any concern, and the wider teaching team is described as enthusiastic, knowledgeable and thoroughly organised. Accounts note pupils moving up to National 5 level work, sharper reading and spelling strategies, and enough regained confidence to catch up at school, with one child winning a national writing competition. Parents value the partnership approach, the way the course format is adapted to each learner, and several say they would come back should further tuition be required.

My daughter (age 11) has been attending here for the last 6 months and her confidence has improved so much, it's been amazing to see. Thanks so much to Dani, for instilling confidence and bringing her up to scratch on her maths knowledge. We'll be happy to return in the near future should she need further tuition. Thanks again 🙏

My daughter attended a class, once a week for 9 months (for help with math) and came on leaps and bounds within such a short space of time. The support from Dani was incredible and I never felt like I was wasting her time with questions. I would recommend to other parents without hesitation.

My Son (9y) has attended for over a year with support for Maths and English. The level of support offered is incredible and tailored individually - the teaching is conducted with such care and patience and my Son thrived in this setting. Weekly tutoring was undertaken with feedback provided as and when required. Homework allocation is brilliant and Danni is always available to discuss any concerns. It is definitely a partnership approach and the results are exceptional. Without a doubt monies well spent and I'd recommend highly.

My son started lessons at Kip McGrath to help with his reading. Daniell and her team have really helped him with his reading/spelling strategies. They also operate a points system which can be used toward a prize they select from the cabinet, which really motivated my son. The staff are very approachable and feedback is given every week. I would recommend Kip McGrath Aberdeen South.

My daughter (9 years) has made excellent progress since joining Kip McGrath over 2 years ago. She had a thorough assessment to establish her learning needs and was made to feel very welcome and at ease. She has come on in leaps and bounds and we are delighted to see how her confidence has grown. She now feels that she has more than caught up at school but has assured us that if she were to find herself struggling again, she will have no hesitation in returning. I would most certainly recommend Daniell & fellow colleagues to any parent seeking additional support for their child.

Excellent tuition centre with fully qualified teachers at hand. They make sure to understand each child fully and tailor their tuition accordingly. Not a one size fits all centre like many others.

We previously tried two other popular tutoring centers for our son and we were not happy with his progress. He is currently 7 years old and has been attending Kip McGrath for over a year now and there has been a vast improvement academically particularly with his independent learning. I can not recommend Kip McGrath enough. I have never seen such a high level of professionalism, enthusiasm and kindness from any business. The team at Kip really do care. After every session, you are made aware of what a child has learnt, their progress and very importantly; things you can work on at home. It's been such a positive experience, I am kept up to date with everything even before I need to ask. I am happy that my son is supported by highly qualified teachers and he is tutored in line with the school curriculum and this is why I feel Kip is different from the rest. I have a 7 year old who is very happy to go in twice a week and that in itself speaks volumes. A big thanks to the amazing team at Kip! You all are simply the best!
