Kip McGrath Greystanes English and Maths Tutoring

Day 25 📍 Belmont, WA 🐭💙

WOW… I’ve made it all the way to Western Australia! ✈️ My little paws have certainly covered some kilometres on this tour!
Today I visited Belmont, where I met Tracy and Josh.

Tracy seems to know absolutely EVERYONE here! Students, families, tutors… I’m pretty sure if you’ve ever walked past the Belmont centre, Tracy probably knows your name too. 😂 She was so lovely and made me feel right at home.

Then I got to do some maths with Josh — and I don’t think I’ll be forgetting that lesson anytime soon! He helped me work towards my maths goals, but somehow had me laughing the whole time too. Who knew maths could be that funny?! 🧮😂

One thing was very obvious at Belmont — these kids genuinely love being here. There was such a happy energy around the centre, with everyone learning, laughing and getting stuck into their lessons.

I’ve learnt a lot on this trip, but I think Josh has definitely added a few new maths tricks to my toolbox!

Now, I’d better get an early night… apparently tomorrow’s adventure is a BIG one. 👀✈️

Let’s just say this little mouse might need his passport… 🇳🇿😉

Day 24 📍 Launceston, TAS 🐭💙

I’ve made it to Tasmania! And I have to say… the weather has actually been quite lovely! I packed for Launceston like I was heading to the North Pole, so this little mouse may have slightly overprepared. 😂🧣

Today I met Jimmy, David and all the Launie kids, who were VERY excited to meet me. I think I’m starting to become a bit of a celebrity on this tour! 🐭✨

I also got to help Matilda with some of her working out. She had just moved up to the next level and it was her very first lesson working on it — but you wouldn’t have known! She was doing such a great job. 🙌

That’s something I’ve learnt on my travels too. Moving onto something harder can feel a little scary at first, but you don’t have to know how to do everything straight away. You just have to be willing to have a go, work it out and keep learning. 💙
Matilda certainly showed me how it’s done today!

Thanks for such a warm welcome, Launceston — both from the people AND surprisingly, the weather! 😂

Day 21 📍 Lalor, VIC 🐭💙

Today I made my way to Lalor, where I met the lovely Steph and all the wonderful students and families. What a beautiful little community they have here - everyone made this travelling mouse feel right at home! 🥰

I did, however, discover something slightly dangerous… there’s a deli in the same shopping centre.
A DELI. Selling CHEESE. Next door to Kip. 🧀🐭

I’m not saying I’ve found my forever centre… but Steph may need to check my suitcase before I leave. 😂

I also tried something new today — an online lesson! And guess who I got to learn with? Sotaro! 💻🙌

How great is that?! After travelling all over the country visiting Kip centres, today reminded me that you don’t even have to be in the same room to learn together, get support and feel connected.

Another centre, another wonderful Kip community… and potentially another block of cheese for the road. 🧀😉
Thanks for having me, Steph, Sotaro and the Lalor crew!

Day 20 📍 Fairfield, VIC 🐭💙

Day 20 already… I’m becoming quite the well-travelled little mouse! 🚗

Today I arrived at Fairfield, where I met the lovely Miah and immediately felt right at home.

I also made a new friend, Minh, who let me sit in and help with some of his learning. I’m not saying I’m ready to become a Kip tutor just yet… but I think I was pretty helpful! 🐭📚😂

What really stood out to me today was the lovely feeling around the centre. The families were so warm and welcoming, the students were happy to be there, and there was such a positive buzz as everyone got stuck into their learning.

There’s something pretty special about walking into a place where families feel comfortable, students feel supported and everyone seems to know each other. 💙

Thanks for making me feel part of the Fairfield family, Miah, Minh and everyone I met today!

Day 18 📍 Belconnen, ACT 🐭💙

I’ve made it to the ACT! 🚗💨

As soon as I walked through the front door at Belconnen, I spotted the HUGE Kip flag and knew I was in the right place. You really can’t miss it! 😂💙

Today I met Darshika, who might just know everything there is to know about this place. She told me she’s here every day the centre is open — now that’s someone who loves Kip!

Darshika put me straight to work helping her write up the names of all the clever students who correctly answered last week’s riddle:

“What is the name of Mickey Mouse’s dog?” 🐶🤔

Apparently, plenty of Belconnen kids knew the answer! I would have guessed “Monty”… but I’m starting to realise I may need a few Kip lessons myself. 😂

I love seeing all the little things centres do to make learning fun and give students something to look forward to each week. Riddles, challenges, celebrations — there’s always something happening!

Thanks for putting me to work, Darshika. I can see why you love being here every day! 💙

Day 17 📍 Wallsend, NSW 🐭💙

Well, look who I bumped into again… Sonia! Two centres in two days, I’m starting to think she might be following me on this road trip! 😂
Today I visited Wallsend and met Jenni, who gave me a very important job - helping choose this week’s trivia challenge for the students. 🧠

Apparently, trivia is a BIG deal around here. The students look forward to it every week, so there was a lot of pressure on this little mouse to pick some good questions! No pressure, Jenni… 😅

Watching everyone laughing, learning, challenging each other and getting excited about trivia made me realise something I keep seeing on my travels…

Kip is so much more than tutoring. 💙

It’s the little traditions students look forward to, the friendships they make, the tutors who know how to make learning fun and that feeling of walking into a place where you belong.

And if a little friendly trivia competition gets those brains working too… even better! 🏆🧠

Thanks for having me, Wallsend — and good luck with this week’s trivia. I may have snuck in a cheese question or two… 🧀😉
