Dear Parent or Carer

You might be unaware of the fact that in theUK almost anybody and his friend can callthemselves a “Tutor”.

You might be shocked to find that:• Tutors do not have to be qualified• Tutors do not have to be teachers• Tutors do not even have to be CRB checked!

When you consider private tuition for yourchild, it is therefore very important to ensureyou get a qualified, experienced teacherwho are fully vetted and insured.

The Kip McGrath Centres are one of the onlyPrivate Tuition Providers that exclusively usesqualified, experienced and fully vettedteachers.

As tuition are not subject to any regulations orcode of practice in the UK, we opted to beincluded on the Voluntary OFSTED Register,with all that this entails.

If you find the information in this Prospectususeful, please give us a call today and book aFREE Diagnostic Educational Assessment foryour child on (01268) 556700.
