Student and parent feedback
Here at Kip McGrath Brentwood, we love to teach, but it’s the feedback and results which really make it worthwhile. Hearing positive feedback and ‘glowing reports’ truly inspires us to keep delivering and improving every day. We want to thank every last one of our incredible parents and students for making Kip McGrath what it is today – we couldn’t have done it without you.
”The Kip McGrath team are clearly focused and have the child's learning at the heart of Kip's objective. The children are encouraged and developed in a structured yet calm and relaxed environment. They utilise written, visual and audio/IT packages to support their learning. This allows the children to experience different learning styles and helps develop confidence in all those areas. Kip supports the Primary Curriculum by setting and securing the foundational skills that once secured are then developed. Each child is treated as an individual and has a programme of development that is assessed, re-evaluated and changed as needed. The Kip McGrath team also consider the anxieties of parents in an ever-changing educational environment and can support and reassure them on their child's development. A superb concept.

”Highly recommended for 11+ tuition, infant school help and even lessons to improve English and maths at senior school. Very well organised and friendly. Excellent resources including online 11+ tests to access at home. Summer school enjoyed by 3 children, 6 years, 10 years and 12 years. My children have all improved and enjoy it!

”I would like to say thank you to Bridgette & team. Bridgette has been so kind, friendly, patient & encouraging. My daughter Darcey (age 3) has just completed the 10-week Get Ready for School programme. Her confidence to start to hold a pen, recognise numbers, sound out phonic sounds is amazing. Would highly recommend to anyone Kip McGrath Shenfield. Looking forward to her starting the follow-up course.

”Kip McGrath is simply the best education centre! Both my girls Leah and Lucy Hunter have attended the centre for over 2 years and have come on leaps and bounds! The teachers offer great support, are caring and make the lessons fun. The work has helped support their curriculum at school which in turn has helped them succeed in English and maths. They are in the top sets. I would recommend Kip McGrath to any parent and think it is the best business in Brentwood!
Rebecca Hunter

”As immigrants who have been in the UK for only three years, we are incredibly grateful for the support our son received at Kip McGrath Tuition Brentwood. Our son attended for just one year, but thanks to the excellent tutoring, especially from Lucy, his English improved significantly. This played a crucial role in his success in the 11+ examination, where he achieved very good results. We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to Lucy and the entire team at Kip McGrath for their dedication and effective teaching methods. Their support has made a real difference in our son's academic journey. We highly recommend their services to other families.

”My son has been attending KIP for the past 9 months and we are so pleased with he’s progress. He gets a warm welcome every week from the receptionist Donna as she opens the door and both of his teachers have given him the confidence he needed to answer questions in the classroom & recently scored 98% in a maths SATS mock test - when he started he was working below average so for us this is priceless. Thank you KIP.

”Kip McGrath team, I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you for helping Daniel so much with his Maths, his confidence has gone up so much since he has been attending Kip. We have never seen him so enthusiastic about doing school work. I feel the atmosphere that is created at your Centre can only help to relax and encourage the children. We feel so much more relaxed about Daniel’s transition to Summer School now, not only have you helped him you have helped us too. Many thanks for all your hard work.
Claire & Colin Chapman
”Our daughter's school does not offer any help in relation to 11plus exams, so we thought we'd start her early with Kip to give her a sporting chance. We also thought that some help with her general maths and English understanding would be useful. Kip McGrath not only offers these services at an extremely high and professional level but they manage to deliver the sessions in such an imaginative and interesting way which helps retain our daughter's attention. The teachers are so enthusiastic that this rubs off on the children. It certainly has with our daughter. She loves playing 'schools' at home and teaching us all about factors, multiples, fractions, percentages, decimals, logical thinking and MORE!!! She loves going and is thriving at school.
Denise L
”My son really enjoys his time at Kip and can't wait until his next lesson. I am pleased with his progress and the fact that it has ignited his desire to learn. The tutors/teachers always give feedback and are flexible to engage your child encouraging them to reach their full potential.
Janine C
”Just wanted to say, MANY THANKS, I owe you a massive thank you for believing I had a chance to pass the 11+. I did pass and got into Chelmsford which was my dream. Thank you for all the support you gave me.
Kenza
”I have improved, not only academically: I am now able to remember directions and routes to places I go to all the time, which I struggled with before, and I am more confident in speaking. I don’t stumble over my words anymore and it is amazing how 2 weeks has completely changed the rest of my life.
Hayley M
”THANK YOU - Dear Kip McGrath team, I will be starting my medicine degree in September at UCL, and I don't think it would be right for me not to share the news with you, as the journey started during my period at Kip McGrath in preparation for my 11+. Thank you so much for your support, I'm really grateful.
Paula Jeboda
”I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the superb work done within the centre. Claire has enhanced her writing skills and her understanding of literary texts. The confidence gained is tremendous and I really appreciate the quality of teaching. Claire's work with Anne has been exceptionally good and I am sure that all this extra work will lead to Claire securing GCSE passes in both English Language and English Literature. Perhaps more importantly, Claire has developed a keen interest in writing which will be of benefit to her always. Once again thank you for providing such a valuable help to parents and their children.
Sharron White
”My daughter attended 11+ tuition at Kip under the guidance of Lauren. With so many tutoring options available, choosing the right one wasn’t easy, but selecting Kip turned out to be the best decision we made. Our daughter’s results were exceptional—she secured a place at CCHS and achieved an impressive score on the CSSE, giving her the option to choose any grammar school. The staff at Kip were outstanding, and Lauren is an incredible teacher. I would highly recommend Kip.
Olivia Y
”We cannot recommend Kip McGrath Brentwood enough. The support they give to the children is wonderful, they use great resources and manage to keep it all fun and exciting. My son’s tutor, Evelyn, is absolutely incredible. We also found admin staff to be super helpful and friendly and the owner of the school was very helpful in guiding us and giving advice at the time of assessment (at the start of the process). My son has enjoyed his tutoring classes and also some great workshops during holidays. Excellent school!
Heidi A

Rebecca M
”The event exceeded my expectations of what kind of information would be included. The manager was so welcoming and made me feel like it was a casual yet informative chat with a another mum. She made me feel at ease, knowing I wasn't the only one with all these emotions. As a parent you want the best for your child but without the overwhelming pressure life brings. I'm so excited for both my children to start their journey with KIP.

”"Kip McGrath Education has been an exceptional learning centre for my daughter. As she prepares for her grammar school exams, we sought a supportive educational environment to boost her confidence in maths and English. The classes have truly exceeded our expectations.
Krishna M
The most impressive aspect of Kip McGrath is their well-structured approach to learning. Each class is carefully designed to address individual student needs, and what sets them apart is their commitment to communication. After every session, we receive detailed feedback about her progress, which helps us understand her strengths and areas that need improvement.
My daughter herself has become increasingly enthusiastic about her learning journey. Her confidence in maths and English has noticeably grown, and she looks forward to her classes with genuine excitement. The personalized attention and engaging teaching methods have transformed her approach to studying.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Kip McGrath Education to other parents seeking a comprehensive and supportive learning environment. Their dedication to student development is remarkable, and the results speak for themselves.
For parents considering additional academic support for their children, Kip McGrath is an excellent choice that combines professional teaching with a nurturing educational approach."
