About Us

Burpengary1

The Kip McGrath Education Centre at Burpengary offers professional tutoring to children in Burpengary,  Narangba and Deception Bay.  The Centre was established in 2010 and is owned and operated by Russell and Karen Carter.

Russell and Karen are both dedicated educators each with over twenty-five years teaching experience. They offer a wealth of knowledge and understanding when working with children.  Russell holds a Bachelor of Education Degree and has been a classroom teacher, Small School Principal and Deputy Principal in large suburban schools.  Karen is a highly experienced and respected Senior Teacher having taught in numerous schools throughout Queensland.  They believe all children can learn when taught in a positive, supportive and engaging environment.  Their main aim is to assist children to be happy and confident learners, enabling them to reach their full potential.

Russell and Karen enjoy helping children learn and watching them develop in confidence and ability using the quality Kip McGrath teaching resources and methods in the welcoming atmosphere of their Burpengary Centre.

What We Do

 Burpengary2Kip McGrath Education Centres are Australia's most trusted name in tuition.  At our Burpengary Centre,  we offer 80 minute tutoring sessions in Reading and Comprehension, Spelling,  English and Mathematics from Pre-Prep to Year 12.  Tuition is planned for each individual student weekly and includes a combination of one-on-one instruction with highly qualified and experienced teachers, computer assisted learning and consolidation activities. A small amount of homework is also set. This specifically revises the work done at the student's weekly session and is checked and discussed by the tutor in the next session. All of these strategies help us to  "close the gaps" in your child's learning.

Our centre creates an environment where your child will enjoy learning and be successful at it.  These experiences will give your child the confidence to become a life-long learner.  Your child is individually assessed (at no cost to you) and a unique learning program is tailored to suit their needs. 

Our tutoring sessions will help your child improve by:

  • increasing their motivation & confidence
  • raising their self-esteem & promoting independence
  • improving their academic results
  • reducing stress & giving your child a renewed interest in learning

Our programs are motivating, fun and engaging and cover the following areas:

Prep

  • Get Ready for School - (for children who have not yet started school)

Primary

  • Kip Maths Tutoring - (for students having difficulty in any grade)
  • Kip English Tutoring - (Reading, Comprehension, Spelling and Written Communication)
  • Little Learners - (Year 1 Literacy and Numeracy)

Secondary

  • Kip Maths Tutoring
  • Kip English Tutoring 
Every program in our centre is delivered by qualified, experienced teachers and offers a variety of activities ensuring students are stimulated to learn.  Our  teachers observe and measure the way each child learns and tailor a program to produce maximum results.  Most of our programs can be started at any time throughout the school year. They help children overcome learning obstacles by giving them a much needed boost in confidence.   

We encourage you to contact either Russell or Karen on 3888 2332 for a no obligation free assessment for your child.

This success has flowed onto all of his subjects! FANTASTIC!  My daughter is gaining the confidence of handling Uni assignments BRILLIANT!!

V.  Knight

Our daughter, (year 9) since being enrolled with Kip McGrath Burpengary has not only achieved dramatic results with her end of term report card  but also with her ability to apply herself to her school work.

She no longer dreads maths but instead looks forward to the challenges that are presented and tackles each task with new found pride and confidence.

I wish to thank Russell and Karen for their sincerity and dedication and for providing access to the tools and techniques needed for my child's development.

We have found Kip McGrath Burpengary to be accessible, affordable and approachable. We have recommended Kip McGrath to friends and family and will likely be back for more tuition in future years.

Thanks again,

K.  Kempson
