We offer expert tuition…and more than that, we bring happiness.
There is great relief, pleasure and enjoyment that comes from mastering a formerly difficult study topic.
We love empowering our students and making them happy!
Our formula is simple:
Experienced, caring teachers + excellent resources + personalised lesson planning + one-to-one online teaching = happiness!


Quality tuition
Achieve Centres for Education NZ, or ACE for short (formerly Kip McGrath Glenfield) offers one-to-one online tuition.
Since 1998, our highly experienced teachers have successfully helped hundreds of Y1-Y13 Glenfield, North Shore, Auckland (and beyond) students achieve in the areas of Maths, English, Spelling, Writing, Reading and Science through high-quality personalised tuition to the NZ Curriculum.
(Note: We also have a limited number of in-centre sessions available for Year 1-9 students in our Hobsonville tutor room – email acetutornz@gmail.com to find out more)
What makes our service so effective?
Our teaching is personalised and very relational. We specialise in helping unwilling mathematicians, readers and writers decide that learning is well worth the effort.
We offer excellent academic support and coaching. We get very excited about a great times-table score, or a superb essay, or a new reading level reached.
We genuinely care about our students and their families; we know our students’ parents, grandparents, siblings, nannies, and aunties by name! Our online and in-person lesson spaces are happy places of belonging, welcome, success, and celebration of learning.

How it works:
We provide 40 minute, one to one, face-to face weekly online sessions after school and during the day. In these sessions your child or teen can have help with their online or written school work and/or access to our huge range of resources. The resources we select for them remain available at all times – not just during their lessons. If your child wishes to spend extra time working in their lesson space, they can, and we’ll look at their work in their next lesson.
We use a special online learning platform that lets us talk face to face, share screens, snapshot written work, and write directly onto learning tasks together with your child or teen. It’s focused, intensive, and it works!
For Years 1-9 we reassess after every 15 weeks (approx) and record the results in your child’s lesson space.
For Years 10-13, school results reflect our input and support.
We’re here to help your child to ‘flourish in confidence and ability.’
