Kip McGrath Scarborough offers tailored programs to help pupils unlock their learning potential, so they are happier and more confident at school.

Owners Genevieve Gray and Rowan Steinkamp took over the centre in January 2021 but say Kip McGrath Scarborough has been helping students with English and maths since 2012.

“We have a wonderful team of qualified teachers at Scarborough. Our teachers are passionate about creating learning environments that are effective, and enjoyable,” Genevieve says.

The team understands true academic success goes beyond grades - it’s about boosting self-esteem and fostering a lifelong love of learning.

Their mission is to ensure every student experiences success through positive and engaging learning experiences.

By building strong relationships, crafting personalised programs, and instilling confidence, they create an environment where your child can thrive.

“The initial difference that most parents report is that their children are more confident, and happier going to school,” Rowan says.

“Then there are the quantifiable improvements in reading ability, spelling, comprehension, and maths skills.

“Our key difference is one-on-one teacher support utilising a small group setting that ensures individual attention.

“We blend written and digital activities based on student needs. We only employ qualified teachers. A lot of parents appreciate that we are a brick-and-mortar setting for face-to-face help.”

Globally, Kip McGrath has helped millions of students during the past 45 years.

“Our free 40 to 60-minute assessments identify a child’s strengths as well as any learning gaps. If we can help, it also enables us to start them at the correct level,” Genevieve says.

“Our curriculum has been developed over decades. It’s designed for learning success and is tailored to target a student’s learning gaps, learning style and goals.”

Kip McGrath Scarborough is a proud annual sponsor of the Redcliffe Show Schools Pavilion. Genevieve and Rowan say they love to work with and sponsor local schools and community organisations.

To mark 50 years of empowering young minds, Kip McGrath is offering a free term of its Reading Program for seven-year-olds in Queensland. The program, which runs for one term, is designed to build foundational reading skills.

"We wanted to celebrate in a way that reflects our values," CEO Storm McGrath says. 

"By supporting young learners, we're investing in the future of our communities."
