Better Tuition
Better Tuition is located on Urmston’s main crossroads, opposite the station. We are NOT the Kip McGrath Urmston Tuition Centre.
… is NOT Kip McGrath Urmston
The aim of this page is to clear up some confusion that has been created around Better Tuition. The Better Tuition Centre is Urmston’s leading tuition centre: Paul Syrett and Christine McLaughlin are graduates of elite, Russell Group universities and expert in both primary and secondary education, as well as all aspects of Special Educational Needs. They head up a team of fully qualified teachers who are completely dedicated to helping your child reach their educational goals.
Why do people get confused between Better Tuition and Kip McGrath Urmston?
The Better Tuition Centre is NOT the Kip McGrath Urmston Tuition Centre.
Sometimes our prospective customers confuse us with Kip McGrath Urmston. This is because back in the mists of time (until August 2011) Paul and Christine ran the Kip McGrath Urmston Tuition Centre.
Some confusion arises because Urmston folk have long memories (how many of us still refer to Terry’s rather than the Kulshi or even the Grilled Chilli – or Park Hospital rather than TGH?) and many don’t realise that Paul and Christine no longer run Kip McGrath Urmston. So when they want to recommend the popular tuition service provided by Paul Syrett and Christine McLaughlin, many local people will use the phrase Kip McGrath Urmston.
Is there a connection between Better Tuition and Kip McGrath Urmston?
No. This becomes all the more confusing when you factor in that, although we left the Kip McGrath organisation in a professional and legal manner, the new Kip McGrath Urmston Tuition Centre chose to open just across the road from us. So whilst our healthy student numbers suggest that most people remember to recommend Better Tuition, some get confused. Many have asked us whether Kip McGrath Urmston is a second branch of the Better Tuition Centre. Others have asked us whether Kip McGrath Urmston is an admin office for the Association of Professional Tuition Centres – the umbrella organisation we helped found with a view to raising professional standards in tuition centres.
The answer to both of these questions is a definite no. Kip McGrath Urmston is neither a second branch of Better Tuition, nor is it an admin office of Better Tuition. Kip McGrath Urmston has no connection with Better Tuition and is not eligible for membership of the Association of Professional Tuition Centres. The Better Tuition Centre has no connection with the Kip McGrath Urmston Tuition Centre, although Paul Syrett and Christine McLaughlin used to be franchisees of Kip McGrath and ran their own Kip McGrath Urmston Tuition Centre at 1, Crofts Bank Road, Urmston, M41 0XH, prior to opening their independent tuition centre, Better Tuition, focusing on the UK National Curriculum and GCSE syllabus.
Just remember: Paul Syrett and Christine McLaughlin run the Better Tuition Centre and not (any more) Kip McGrath Urmston.
The Better Tuition is NOT the Kip McGrath Urmston Tuition Centre.
Some more information about the confusion between Kip McGrath Urmston and Better Tuition.
Kip McGrath is an Australian franchised organisation that offers tuition in many countries. Paul Syrett and Christine McLaughlin are former franchisees of Kip McGrath and previously ran Kip McGrath Urmston. Paul and Christine decided to break away from Kip McGrath in August 2011. The Better Tuition Centre opened on the site of the Kip McGrath Urmston Tuition Centre (at 1 Crofts Bank Rd, Urmston, M41 0XH) in August 2011 and we very quickly saw a huge increase in our student numbers. We are not keen at all to associate Better Tuition in any way with Kip McGrath Urmston, however we feel this post is necessary because of the confusion caused by their chosen location.
