Kumon

Created in Japan 1954 by Toru Kumon, the Kumon Method stresses self-directed, independent learning. The programme focuses on building childrens' skills in English, Mathematics and other subjects at an individualised and stress free pace.

Students visit the Kumon Centre once a week to complete custom prepared materials at a comfortable pace. After completion, students correct their own work with help from an instructor, who acts more like mentor, thus learning from their own mistakes. Parental involvement is highly encouraged and essential in tracking learning progress.
