Self-learning helps students to become more proactive learners
At Kumon, we place great value on the ability to study independently and encourage students to discover how to solve problems for themselves without asking for the answer.
Through doing exercises on their own, students gain confidence in their studies and develop the desire to advance further. Our Kumon Instructors do not teach students in a uniform manner. Instead, students are guided with hints and examples on our worksheets to attempt questions independently.
Through this process, our students feel a sense of achievement, motivating them to keep progressing to more advanced topics and concepts. Should students feel any particular area challenging or take a longer time to complete their studies, they review their learning to help them master the content and move on to the next step.
How are Kumon students able to learn new material independently?
Kumon Worksheets are constructed in a manner that enables students to learn and progress in small steps from easy to more challenging material.
Explanations and examples are included with new exercises in the introductory sections to enable students to do the worksheets independently and advance to higher levels of study without difficulty.
Our Instructors place great importance on students developing the ability to understand the concepts at hand and find the solutions to problems on their own. Students are not given quick answers when they approach the Instructors with questions. Instead, they are carefully guided in a way that enables them to comprehend the learning focus and solve problems by themselves.
Students who can pursue their potential independently
We believe it is essential for children to study content beyond their current education level as soon as possible. Helping students advance toward a higher school level of study while still in preschool, primary or secondary school is an important goal.
By advancing beyond their education level, our students greatly develop their academic ability, influencing how they approach their future studies. This gives students more confidence and encourages them to pursue their full potential.
Equipped with the ability to study proactively, Kumon students are better prepared for success as they strive toward their goals and aspirations with their newfound learning abilities.
With KUMON CONNECT, students can now easily access and submit their Kumon worksheets with their tablets anytime, anywhere. Students can learn at home, at the centre, or even on the go with the help of timely hints.
Kumon Instructors will review their students' completed worksheets and learning processes to support their study individually by assigning worksheets suitable to their individual ability levels and providing personalised guidance geared to each of them.
Students can retrieve real-time updates instantly, which helps close their opportunity gaps and further optimise their learning potential. Parents can stay up to date with their child’s study progression and check the valuable insights from Kumon instructors on their learning conditions in class and at home.
The goal of the Kumon Method remains the same. Every student advances at an incremental pace without any learning gaps in their study.
Kumon Connect is available at selected centres only.
How Does Your Child Benefit from Kumon?
Achieve Academic
Excellence
At the heart of the Kumon Method is self-learning: we encourage students to read the constantly evolving small-step worksheets, think, and do the exercises independently. We do not spoon-feed students problem-solving methods. Instead, we focus on guiding students to complete exercises on their own so that they enjoy a sense of achievement, are able to master new material independently and constantly push themselves to improve continually.
Develop Strong
Foundational Skills
Our focus on numeracy and linguistics ensures students develop a solid foundation to achieve excellence in both Primary and Secondary School. We identify, build and enhance the key skills that students need to become fluent readers and junior Mathematicians, giving them a core of confidence and a lifetime of good study habits that they can draw on as they advance in levels.
Develop A Passion
For Learning
Beyond academic success, a natural outcome of the Kumon Method is a solid base for the steep learning curves that come with life. By allowing them to make the choices that support their learning, strengths, and success, your child will develop the confidence to think, do and learn more. This way, he/she develops positive learning and a can-do attitude, turning learning into pleasure and joy.
Our Programmes
Each Kumon student's learning journey is individually determined by his/her ability. From preschool to primary school and beyond, the Kumon worksheets will help your child advance incrementally and significantly beyond his/her school grade.
Maths Programme
Maths requires an accumulation of knowledge through practice. While enhancing their calculation skills, students also cultivate their mathematical analysis and logical thinking abilities, which will be indispensable in their lives, now and in the future. This sets the groundwork for solving the problems they will face in life.
