Kumon is the country's leading supplementary education provider, with four million students worldwide and a record of excellence in maths and English. Whatever your child's age or ability, we can help them to excel in these subjects, develop their capacity for learning independently and boost their confidence in all areas of life.Kumon's unique method of learning focuses on each child as an individual, providing them with transferable study skills and ensuring they progress at a level that is right for them. Students attend the local East Malling centre once or twice a week for around half an hour, and have daily worksheets to take away so they can keep up with their studies at home. At the centre, the Instructor will observe each student working and monitor their progress, setting new work as appropriate and encouraging the child to take ownership of their learning.Your child will start at a level they are comfortable with, consolidating familiar topics before moving on to something new. Once they have filled in any gaps and mastered the topic, the Instructor will set new and eventually unfamiliar work, challenging the student to learn for themselves. The essence of this support is guidance rather than explanation, helping students to apply what they have already learned to solve work they have never seen before.As well as building speed and accuracy, our maths and English programmes develop abilities such as concentration and independent learning, time management and problem-solving: abilities which will prepare students for the future. Through working at their own pace over a period of time, children are given the self-assurance to reach their potential both at school and throughout life.
