At Kip McGrath Tweed Heads we plan and implement English and math programs which are individually tailored to the needs of each student, offering remediation, consolidation & extension learning in numeracy and literacy from Foundation through to Year 10. Reluctantly selling as owner has a newborn and is wanting the time to raise a family. Since taking over in 2018, we have seen steady growth in online & in centre tuition & established a great reputation in the local area. There is always a demand for tutoring as students fall behind & parents want to provide the best opportunities for their child. Our centre is located in an affluent area with families who can afford private tuition. The business has capacity to grow to 200 centre lessons a week with unlimited growth opportunities for online lessons. There is potential to open up other satellite centres as Territory covers a wide area.
