Finding Christmas presents that balance fun with education isn’t always easy. You want presents that have some educational value but that children are still excited to open and receive on Christmas morning. We’ve pulled together some great ideas for educational gifts for kids that strike that balance, turning playtime into learning time whilst still being fun!

At Kip McGrath, we’ve always believed that every child deserves the chance to thrive at school and beyond. For almost fifty years, our centres have supported families by offering tutoring that is accessible, effective and confidence building. Now, we’re excited to bring those conversations to life in a new way with the launch of our podcast, TutorEd.

Developing strong number skills during early years can predict later success not just in mathematics but across learning as a whole. Where a student starts in maths sets the trajectory. By giving children a firm foundation in basic concepts right away, we set them up to build confidence and success in later topics.

Today marks an exciting new chapter in our organisation’s journey as we warmly welcome our new Global CEO, Melinda Smith. We are delighted to have her join us and lead our company into its next era of growth, innovation and shared success.

Being a tutor lets you dynamically use your teaching skills, see students improve quickly, and enjoy a flexible schedule with competitive pay.

One of the most effective ways to close learning gaps is through tutoring. Unlike a busy classroom where the teacher must split attention among many pupils, tutoring offers focused support tailored to your child’s needs.

It might surprise you, but feeling stuck on a maths problem is totally normal and often it can actually be a good thing because it means you’re tackling something challenging. Even the most famous and brilliant mathematicians spent years on difficult problems, being stuck is part of the learning process.

In this ultimate guide to tutoring, we’ll explore everything parents and students need to know about tutoring, from its benefits and structure to choosing the right tutor and most importantly ensuring your child’s safety.
