Who we are

Kip McGrath Education Centres has been helping students build confidence and achieve their learning goals for decades. With a well-established network of education centres in Australia, New Zealand, and other international locations, we provide professional tutoring in English and maths through qualified teachers and proven learning programs.

Behind every successful Kip McGrath centre is a passionate franchisee, and our Support Office team plays an important role in helping our franchise network thrive.

You’ll have regular conversations with franchisees about their centre performance, opportunities and challenges, helping identify practical actions that can strengthen their business.
