THE KIP DIFFERENCE
We’re one of the largest providers of tutoring delivered by qualified teachers globally. We teach over
one million lessons annually. For over 45 years we have tutored students using explicit instruction
that works. Kip Umhlanga was opened in 2006 and Kip Bluff was by Tracy-Lee Galloway. Here, we
have averaged 150 students every week and every student receives a tailored learning programme.
A parent will typically come to us unsure of ‘why’ their child is struggling in class or which areas they
are struggling with and so we conduct a free learning assessment with a qualified teacher. This helps
us, and the parent, identify any gaps in the student’s learning as well as any strengths they may
have. We then set goals with the student and tailor our curriculum to help the student catch up, and
keep up in class.
Quality lessons are at the core of what we do. All of our lessons are carefully planned and delivered
face-to-face with the same tutor each week, either in one of our centres or via our purpose-built
online tutoring platform.
Unlike self-led online lessons, the benefit of live, face-to-face online lessons is that they allow our
professional tutors to interact and teach in real time. Every minute of every lesson is focused on achieving the student’s goal.
In line with our method, all of our lessons are a fun and interactive experience – whether they’re in
grade R or grade 12. During each lesson, the teacher tracks and monitors a student’s progress
against their goals, adjusting the level and focus where necessary.
Unlike a standard tutoring session, our lessons run in small groups providing a highly supportive and
individualised environment whilst fostering independent learning and building self-confidence. In each
lesson, a student also receives one-on-one tutoring. This is made possible through our unique
system of teaching, where students move from task to task in10-minute slots. Our tutors are actively
involved and a step ahead of each student at each stage.
Students are provided with on-the-spot feedback, badges of achievement and rewards for recognition
through their learning programme to boost their self-esteem. Parents and guardians are also updated
every step of the way so they can see how their child is progressing.
We’re not homework help or test prep providers. We solely help children who are struggling in class
and falling behind. Because all of our tutors are qualified teachers, they know how to properly plan,
teach and progress students. Our tutors also know how to make learning fun, so students embrace it.
Most importantly, what makes us stand out from others is that we genuinely care about our students
and the work we do. We’re committed to helping students reach their highest potential, throughout
their schooling and beyond.
