Bright Futures with Kumon
At Kumon, we aim to help children
of any age and any ability to achieve
beyond expectations and this point
during the school year is the ideal time
to start. With 60 years of experience
and over 4 million students worldwide,
the Kumon Maths and English Programmes
enable students to develop
into confident, independent learners.
Our individualised maths and English
programmes allow students to start
at their own, individually set, starting
point and to progress to an advanced
level, at their own pace. The Kumon
Method of Learning ensures students
maximise their ability and realise their
unlimited potential, whilst also preparing
them for personal and professional
success later in life. We place great
importance on self-learning, encouraging
students to discover how to
solve problems for themselves. As our
students begin to take ownership of
their learning and become independent
learners, they develop invaluable
confidence and self-motivation.
With guidance and support from
the Instructor, Kumon students build
fluency and ability, as well as a love
of learning. This can increase their
enjoyment across a wide range of
subjects at school. The school break
is a great time to find out what your
child can achieve through the Kumon
Programmes, so book a consultation
with your local study centre.
