About Kip McGrath Leyland

At Kip McGrath Leyland, we provide professional English and maths tutoring for children aged 6 to 16 across Leyland and the wider local area, including Farington, and families close to Lostock Hall, Penwortham and Bamber Bridge. 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 in primary and secondary education. Ian understands that children come to tutoring for many different reasons. Some need help catching up, some need stretching, and others need their confidence rebuilding after finding school difficult. Whatever the starting point, our aim is to help every child feel more secure, capable and positive about learning.

At Kip McGrath Leyland, every child begins with a free assessment so that we can understand their strengths, gaps and next steps. From there, we create an individual learning programme tailored to their needs. Lessons combine expert guidance from qualified teachers, carefully chosen written activities and Kip McGrath’s proven learning software. This balanced approach allows children to receive focused support while also developing independence and confidence.

Parents looking for Leyland tutoring often want more than extra worksheets or homework help. They want to know that their child is being taught properly, encouraged carefully and supported by people who understand how children learn. Ian and his team work hard to provide a calm, caring and structured environment where pupils can make progress at the right pace.

We offer both in-centre and online tuition, giving families flexibility while still keeping lessons structured, personal and focused.

Please get in touch to book a free assessment and find out how we can support your child.

Ian Ford

Meet our Centre Manager,
Ian Ford

Ian Ford is the Centre Director for Kip McGrath Leyland and Kip McGrath Horwich. He has a BA in Education and over 15 years’ experience working across both primary and secondary education. Having taught children at different stages of their school journey, Ian understands how quickly gaps in learning can affect a child’s confidence, motivation and progress. Ian’s approach is built around the belief that confidence is often the starting point for better learning. Many children arrive at Kip McGrath feeling unsure, behind or anxious about schoolwork. Ian believes that with the right support, clear teaching and encouragement, children can begin to see themselves differently — not as pupils who “can’t do it”, but as learners who are capable of making progress. As a teacher and centre director, Ian works closely with his team to make sure pupils are supported as individuals. He is passionate about creating centres where children feel safe to ask questions, make mistakes and build skills step by step. His aim is not only to improve academic performance, but also to help children become more independent, resilient and positive about learning. Parents can feel confident choosing Ian’s centres because they are led by someone who understands education from the classroom, the tutoring environment and the parent’s perspective. Whether a child needs help catching up, stretching further or preparing for SATs, 11+ exams or GCSEs, Ian’s focus is always on finding the right support for that individual child.
