Parents have more choices than ever when their child needs some extra help.

Private tutors.

Tuition centres.

Apps.

Online programmes.

AI.

So how do you know what's right for your child?

There's no single answer.

Some children may only need occasional help with one topic.

Some need consistent support.

Some need gaps identifying before anyone can really know where to start.

And some know the work but need somebody to help rebuild their confidence.

So rather than asking:

“Which type of tutoring is best?”

I'd start with:

“What does my child actually need?”

At Kip McGrath Hull East, that's why we assess before recommending a programme.

Because the support should fit the child.

Not the other way around.

If you're trying to work out what would suit your child, you're very welcome to message us and have a chat.

Right, something a little less serious today... 😂

If you could go back to school tomorrow and had to sit ONE lesson again, which one are you choosing?

And more importantly...

Which lesson are you absolutely refusing to walk into? 😂

Maths?

English?

Science?

PE?

History?

I have a feeling some subjects are about to get a lot more love than others...

And yes, Monty is judging your answers. 😂

AI came up a LOT at the Kip conference this year.

And it's a fascinating conversation.

Because children now have access to tools that can answer questions, explain maths problems and help with homework in seconds.

And used properly, technology can be incredibly useful.

But here's the bit I keep coming back to...

Does it know the child?

Does it notice that they actually know how to do the question but don't have the confidence to attempt it?

Does it recognise that today's maths problem isn't really the problem, and there's a gap from earlier learning that's causing the difficulty?

Does it notice the little hesitation before they answer?

Or know when to stop, explain something differently and try another way?

Technology is going to continue changing education.

We shouldn't be frightened of that.

But for me, it makes good teaching more important, not less.

At Kip, technology can support the learning.

The teacher understands the child.

And I think that difference matters.

Is tutoring actually worth it?

It's a fair question.

And the answer isn't:

“Every child needs a tutor.”

They don't.

But when a child has gaps in their understanding, is struggling to keep up or has started losing confidence, the right support can make a big difference.

And that's an important distinction.

Tutoring shouldn't simply mean giving a child more work.

If they're already struggling, more of the same thing isn't necessarily going to solve the problem.

We need to understand why they're struggling first.

Sometimes it's something they're learning now.

Sometimes the real gap started much earlier.

And sometimes they actually know far more than they think they do, but their confidence has disappeared.

That's why we assess first.

If you're wondering whether tutoring would actually benefit your child, you're welcome to ask us.

We'll always be honest about what we think.

One of the questions parents often have before contacting us is:

“What actually happens at the assessment?”

So let's take some of the mystery out of it.

Your child doesn't need to prepare for it.

We're not expecting them to know everything.

And there isn't a pass or fail.

The whole point is to understand your child.

What are they already confident with?

Where might there be gaps?

What's making something harder than it needs to be?

And where would we start if they came to us for support?

It also gives us a chance to talk to you about what you've been noticing at home.

Afterwards, we can explain what we've found and what we'd recommend.

So if the assessment itself has been the thing making you hesitate, please don't worry.

You're always welcome to message us first and ask anything you'd like to know. ❤️

Sometimes there isn't a big moment when you suddenly think:

“My child needs a tutor.”

It's usually much smaller.

Homework starts taking longer.

They ask for more help than they used to.

They avoid reading aloud.

They understand something one day and seem completely lost with it the next.

Or you start hearing...

“I can't do it.”

They might still be doing “okay” at school.

But you know your child, and sometimes you can just tell something isn't quite clicking.

That doesn't necessarily mean they're hugely behind.

Sometimes there's simply a gap somewhere that's making everything coming afterwards harder than it needs to be.

And finding that gap is often the first step.

If this sounds familiar, you're very welcome to message us for a chat. ❤️

150 lessons a week. 💙

Seeing that written down at the Kip McGrath 50th Anniversary Conference was actually quite a moment for me.

When you're busy running the centre, teaching, talking to parents and doing everything else that comes with it, you don't really stop and think about the number.

But around 150 lessons are now taking place at Hull East every week.

And it's not really the number that makes me proud.

It's what sits behind it.

Children who've walked through our doors believing they're “rubbish at maths”.

Children who've lost confidence.

Parents who've worried that their child is falling behind.

And all those little moments when something finally clicks and you see that confidence start to come back.

I've been part of Kip for eight years now and I'm incredibly proud of what we've built here at Hull East.

So, even though the introvert in me hates the limelight, I was pleased to collect this certificate on behalf of the amazing team and the families we work with 💙

They've been back at school for a couple of weeks now.

So how are things really going?

Maybe everything's settled beautifully.

Or maybe you're starting to notice little things.

Homework is taking much longer than you expected.

They're avoiding reading.

You're hearing “I'm rubbish at maths.”

Or their confidence just doesn't seem quite the same.

It doesn't automatically mean there's a big problem.

But you know your child.

And sometimes you get that little feeling that something isn't quite clicking.

That's one of the reasons we offer a free assessment at Kip.

Not to label them.

Not to compare them with anybody else.

Just to understand where they are, what's going well and whether there's anywhere they could use a little extra support.

Sometimes knowing what's actually going on is the reassurance you need. ❤️

Do you know one of the loveliest things about working with children and their families?

When people start telling other parents about you.

We've had times here at Kip McGrath Hull East where we've had our busiest assessment weeks and an influx of new bookings.

And behind every one of those bookings is a parent who's decided they want a little bit of extra support for their child.

That's something we never take for granted.

Because when you're choosing someone to help your child with their learning, you're trusting them with so much more than maths or English.

You're trusting them with their confidence too.

And that's something that really matters to us. ❤️
