Testimonials
The true test for any organisation is whether its 'customers' feel pleased and confident enough to recommend the services to others. Our 'customers' are parents who pay for the tuition and want to know that their children are benefiting and making progress at school; and students who want to learn and enjoy the process. Here you find out what parents say about us. See how many mention an increase in their child's confidence.
What parents say about us
"Georgia's reading has improved greatly since attending the sessions. She is much more confident and will now attempt to read new and unfamiliar words. She is now attempting to spell new words and finds it much easier to spell out words generally. She can work alone and is much more willing to just 'have a go' at reading or homework." - Georgia’s mother.
"Since Nathan has been working with the annotating with Mark, he seems to have come a long way with his comprehension and he has a bit more confidence." - Nathan’s parents.
"Kip at Chorley has helped Adam tremendously and I would recommend it to everyone. It has restored my faith with good solid teaching! Thanks Kip!!" - Adam’s mother.
"Matthew has been attending Kip McGrath for 3 years now and we can certainly see the benefit. The most crucial improvement has been to his self esteem. He has slowly moved from an 'I can't do it, I'm stupid' to 'I can if I'm shown'. He used to panic when faced with anything new, now he takes it in his stride and accepts he cannot know everything instantly but knows that with time he will learn. I used to worry that he would resent me for sending him to maths on Saturday morning, but he really enjoys going. I asked him why and he replied 'because when I go; I realise that I can do it and I'm not stupid'. That to me is a statement that is worth every penny we have spent. Education is not just about exam results, it's about building self esteem for the future and Kip has certainly made my son believe in himself more than I could have once imagined. Thank you." - Matthew’s mother.
"Ben had his 'Special Needs' assessment on Monday and I am so pleased to say that he has been taken off the register. Thank you for all the hard work you have done with Ben and his maths. We have a long way to go but at least he is getting confident and you should have seen the smile on his face when he read the letter from the Deputy Head!" - Ben’s mother.
"Elizabeth seems to enjoy her Kip McGrath lesson and it has increased her confidence in maths." - Elizabeth’s parents.
"Attending Kip McGrath has clearly helped Gabrielle to develop academically, but the most pleasing aspect has been the big improvement with her confidence. She genuinely enjoys the learning experience and the achievement of success which goes with it." - Gabrielle's parents.
"I found that after a few weeks of maths lessons at Kip McGrath, Daniel had become more confident and more relaxed with learning.

He has improved beyond recognition and will try even the most complicated questions without getting worried." - Daniel's mother.

"Adam's reading has improved considerably as he has become more confident." - Adam's parents.

His self confidence has improved threefold over the last few months and I think that this is having a positive effect on his school work." - Jack's mother.
"Since coming to Kip McGrath, Jack's spelling has improved, along with his confidence in his abilities. The tutors are great and very encouraging. Jack has definitely benefited from the more individual attention he receives." - Jack’s parents.

Indeed at the last parents evening we attended, her teacher was very impressed with how Lucy had improved in aspects of her reading and understanding." - Lucy's parents.
