Kip Mcgrath Franchise Education Centre For Sale

Business description

The first Kip McGrath Education Centre was established in Australia in 1976 and in the 31 years since then the Kip McGrath name and excellent reputation has developed into a world wide franchise business with over 400 centres in operation in 18 different countries. The location of this centre which is offered for sale due to the vendor’s retirement is in the West Midlands and has been established since 2003. The Centre tutors students aged 5 to 16 in English, Reading, Spelling and Maths. Sessions take place with extensive written material and supported by computer based programs.
The personalised programs of study, which are aligned to the National Curriculum, are designed to give students the motivation to succeed. Progress is at the students' own pace so they are never overwhelmed and by focusing and emphasising the positive qualities of each student, failure is eliminated. Students work with (not against) the Centre’s tutors because for many a first rule understanding of the subject material is achievable and equally as important, this achievement is not only rewarding but fun too.
A careful balance of challenging and achievable activities ensures that the student experiences only success, which builds confidence and independence and helps develop a love of learning. The Centre caters for both primary and secondary level children of all abilities, including those who are high achievers, underachieving or may have learning difficulties. Each pupil is given an assessment to determine their needs. Parents concerns are discussed and the results of assessments are further discussed confidentially.
There is no pressure brought to bear on the students to perform to pre-set levels and as a result challenges are both realistically achievable and reachable and success is therefore guaranteed. Each 80 minute lesson consists of carefully chosen learning activities, including a mix of written, oral and computer work and Tutors are able to closely monitor each activity to ensure focused, effective learning takes place.
The large and affluent residential area surrounding this educational centre boasts highly regarded Grammar schools. As places within these schools are very much sought after there is a substantial, constant and profitable demand for eleven plus tutorage.
