How To Get The Best From Your Time At Kip McGrath

Get The Best From Kip McGrathOver the years we have noticed that the students and parents that get the most out of Kip McGrath consistently do the same things and we thought that we would list them so that everyone can benefit:

  • ask lots of questions (students and parents),
  • bring in any problems you have from school,
  • attend your weekly lessons and if you can’t, ensure you make it up the next week,
  • give 100% effort while at Kip McGrath and with your homework at home,
  • if your parents help with any homework questions then circle them so we know,
  • bring in your topic timetable for high school maths at the beginning of each year,
  • inform your tutor of upcoming tests or assignments as soon as you know of them,
  • if parents have any concerns, then raise them straight away with the tutor.

The important thing is to keep the lines of communication open between you, your child and us. We are here to help and are always ready to do what is needed to get the best results for you and your child.

Thankyou All Parents Who Came To The Free Lunches

ThankyouThanks so much to all the parents that took time out of your weekend to visit us over the last couple of weeks.

You know… it was just good to get to know you better over a relaxed lunch, and to understand your different situations.

Just hearing how we help you now, and how we can help you and your children even more in the future, made a big difference to us. Stay tuned over the coming weeks and months to see the improvements from your suggestions.
Thanks again… Christine and Ken.
