At Kip McGrath Horwich, we offer high-quality English and maths tutoring for children aged 6 to 16 in Horwich and the surrounding local area, including Westhoughton, Blackrod and Lostock. We support pupils with reading, spelling, writing, comprehension, mathematics, SATs preparation, 11+ preparation and GCSE English and maths.

The centre is led by Ian Ford, an experienced teacher and tutoring director with a BA in Education and over 15 years’ experience across primary and secondary education. Ian’s approach is built around one simple belief: when children feel more confident, they learn more effectively. Many pupils arrive at Kip McGrath because they have gaps in their learning, feel unsure in class, or need extra support before important exams. Our job is to identify what each child needs and help them move forward step by step.

Every child at Kip McGrath Horwich begins with a free assessment, allowing us to understand their current level, learning gaps and areas of strength. We then create an individual learning programme designed specifically for them. Lessons are delivered using a combination of qualified teacher support, traditional teaching methods and Kip McGrath’s specialist learning software.

For families searching for Horwich tutoring, our centre provides a structured, supportive and encouraging environment where children can grow in both skill and confidence. We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we focus on helping each child make steady progress, whether they are catching up, consolidating school learning, preparing for exams or aiming to achieve higher grades.

We offer both in-centre and online tuition, giving families flexibility around busy school, work and family routines.

Please contact Kip McGrath Horwich to book a free assessment and find out how we can support your child.
