KIP McGrath, the international tuition provider, is to open a centre in Barbourne Road,Worcester.

The company currently has 220 centres throughout the UK helping students who are having difficulty with their school work or who just want to do better.

"Our tutor programme follows the Kip McGrath teaching method which has been highly successful throughout the world," explained centre director Sarah Khan."We perform a free assessment in maths, reading spelling and writing, which highlights the child's strength and needs. Based on the results of this we then design an individual programme of work."

The programme is aimed at the 6-16 age group and an open day is planned at the centre on Saturday, July 19 from 10am until 4pm to highlight the facilities on offer.
