The summer holidays may only have just got underway but already parents will be turning their thoughts to the new term, sourcing new uniforms, stationary and sports kits.

Preparations for the return to school are important to every family and to give your child the best start to the new school year you have to think ahead. This is reason why many parents are already considering signing their children up for extra tuition in September with Billericay’s leading tutoring service Kip McGrath Billericay to ensure their child has the best foundations for the coming academic year.

Whether or not your child is embarking on the transition from primary to secondary education or is simply finding a few academic concepts hard to grasp, seeking some extra help and guidance for them can really boost their confidence and ensure the foundations are laid for a successful year at school.

The Kip McGrath Education Centre Billericay is already taking bookings for September from anxious parents who want to make learning easier for their youngsters. During the new school term, sessions will run from 4pm to 5.20pm and 5.30pm until 6.50pm on week days and from 10.15am to 11.35am and from 11.45am to 1.05pm on the weekends. All new pupils joining the programme will receive a free assessment and their first two sessions for free.

Centre director Samantha Magee, a UK-trained fully qualified teacher, said: “It can be quite daunting going to secondary school for the first time. For Year 7 pupils, having extra tuition can give them a confidence boost to get them used to the new curriculum.

“Once pupils reach secondary school, the curriculum changes from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 3 and children sometimes feel overwhelmed by the changes in teaching style, new surroundings and new concepts.

“We will initially assess them to find out which areas of knowledge are weaker than others and then develop a programme to strengthen these so they’re able to progress more effectively and not feel daunted when new ideas are introduced.”

Kip McGrath Billericay – Billericay’s premier tutoring service – provides extra tuition to children aged six to 16 in Maths, English and 11+. Its qualified teachers provide tuition for children who are just starting to read, studying for their 11 plus, SATs and all the way to G.C.S.E level.
