What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Kip McGrath Tutoring Centre in Didsbury, on Burton Road, has been used by some families for multiple children across several years, with reviewers crediting Arash and Rebecca for building confidence in Maths at different stages, from SATs preparation through to support for a home-educated teenager working towards further exams.

Something reviewers return to is the friendly, nurturing atmosphere reviewers say sets the centre apart from other tutoring they tried beforehand, alongside individual care that continues outside scheduled sessions when a child needs extra help. Online assessment and teaching are mentioned as part of the centre's approach, with one parent describing a full report following an initial online assessment that set clear learning objectives before lessons began.

Several reviewers describe children arriving with little self-belief and behind where they wanted to be academically, who went on to reach a good standard, attributing the change to patient, encouraging teaching combined with a sensible amount of technology in lessons. The centre is open on weekday afternoons and early evenings, from two o'clock through to around half past seven, with a Saturday morning session and no opening on Sundays. Multiple families mention returning to the centre for siblings after a positive experience with an older child.

My Son has progressed so much in his communication and writing skills since he has been coming here. He has a great relationship with the Tutors and has told me he enjoys coming. Thank you

I’ve used Kip McGrath (Didsbury) for three of my children over the past four years, and I honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else. We tried other tutors and tuition centres, but this is the place where my children felt the most comfortable thanks to the friendly, nurturing atmosphere. Arash and his team are genuinely caring, patient and encouraging. They’ve helped build real confidence in Maths for each of my children. We’ve used Kip McGrath at different stages - for SATs support, when they were struggling and needed a confidence boost, and also for my teenager who is home educated and working towards GCSE Maths. I'd highly recommend to any parent looking for supportive, professional and effective tuition.

Both of my children have been going to KIP in Didsbury for a few years, I’d highly recommend Arash and his team. They’ve given comfort, support and confidence in a subject they were both struggling in.

Kip Mcgrath in Didsbury really engaged my child in maths. Their sessions were fun and informative and she found them very helpful in supporting her improved maths ability.

I cannot recommend Arash and Rebecca enough. My son has been with them for nearly 2 years. After having low confidence and a low academic score, Harrison is now at a very good standard and has gained so much confidence. Thanks to Arash and Rebecca he is now thriving and enjoys his learning. The best thing about Didsbury Kip is the learning environment has the right balance of learning with fun learning. And if you are considering them please look no further. I've recommended friends too who now go there and they are equally happy with how they bring their children on. Thank you for everything .

I came in for an assessment and was really impressed. I used to be a tutor and a teacher so I know good quality when I see it! Tutors were really upbeat and attentive to my daughter’s needs. Just that one session noticeably improved her confidence. She came out saying how much she liked the session, but unfortunately she got won over by the bigger centre we visited, with its very computerised, gamified approach. The other centre seems good too, but my first choice would definitely have been Kip McGrath! (NB there was also a balanced use of technology with Kip McGrath, but it was much more tutor-lead than computer-lead)
