The Kumon Maths Programme
Our maths programme helps children of all ages and ability levels to develop maths skills and a love of numbers. Our students are aged two to older children and each one is assessed at the beginning of their Kumon journey to ensure they work at just the right level. Study is set according to ability, regardless of age or school year, making it the obvious choice for any student wanting to progress or excel in maths.
The programme goes right from the very basics of recognising numbers all the way to complex mathematical theories in small steps, building ability gradually along the way. We believe that every child has the potential to succeed in maths and our experienced Instructors support them to achieve this. Students acquire an ability to self-learn while developing understanding and fluency of each topic before moving on to another.
My Child is...
Each level of the maths programme builds incrementally on the skills developed in the previous level, ensuring a solid understanding and the ability to put learning into practice
Every student will begin at a comfortable level for them. Their individual starting point, along with their expected projection rate, is established at a free assessment.

Early learners gradually increase the amount of work they complete each day, either at the study centre or at home, so that they maintain enthusiasm and are keen to learn using their Kumon worksheets. This gradual increase helps build concentration skills, starting with small steps and enticing them to focus a little longer each time.
We approach numbers by first learning how to count and read numbers, building up those great foundations for learning that your child can understand. The maths programme will be tailored to their ability with activities set at just the right level to enable them to succeed. This personalised and structured method of study allows them to focus on concepts until they have fully grasped them, building confidence in their own ability each day.
Our programme is designed not only to build a very positive study ethos from the start, but also to allow children to take on more advanced work for their age group according to ability.
Our maths programme helps early learners get to grips with numbers in an engaging way through colourful, fun worksheets and Instructor support
Instructors encourage young students to work in an attentive, thoughtful way to develop concentration, attention span, and good learning practices ready for school and beyond
Children gain confidence in maths, gradually progressing skills through small steps in our worksheets, developing ease and fluency with each topic before moving on

Our Instructors assess students before they start their Kumon study programme to establish at which point they should begin. This approach means that we develop their study skills and build their confidence as they reinforce foundations and progress on to more advanced work.
New topic areas are introduced with introductory problems and examples and the difficulty levels are gradually increased in small steps. This approach allows each student to take ownership of their learning and really start to challenge themselves as their ability and self-belief grows.
Our maths programme aims to equip children with the tools to be able to do secondary school level maths with ease, tackling complex numerical concepts along the way and gradually leading up to and mastering calculus. Students will achieve this as we develop their ability to self-learn, working through worksheet examples and building problem solving skills.
Our maths programme enables students of any ability to tackle maths with confidence ensuring each key skill is completely mastered before moving on
Through daily maths study, students build fluency and ability as well as a positive and concentrated approach to study
Kumon Instructors set maths study at just the right level for your child regardless of their age, allowing them to revisit missing skills or advance way beyond their peers without restriction

Our programme is individualised and set at just the right level for your child enabling them to successfully progress in maths, improving confidence and concentration.
Our programme is not tied to the curriculum and students move up the levels as their numerical fluency and ability allows, regardless of age. This gives students the opportunity to challenge themselves without restriction, working on mathematical problems beyond their school grade level.
Students who have completed all levels of the maths programme demonstrate significant expertise with numbers without reliance on a calculator, as well as the skills to master a new topic all by themselves, setting them up well for university study and beyond.
Our maths programme helps students to develop a positive approach to maths, detecting any gaps in key learning foundations before building skills to reach school level and beyond
Kumon Instructors support students to understand how to solve mathematical problems for themselves using examples as a guide, enabling them to become independent, confident learners that are open to the challenge of new work without teacher reliance
Kumon students progress at their own pace, irrespective of age and school grade, offering them the chance to venture into complex mathematical calculations ahead of school curriculum

How does Kumon work?
Kumon students complete daily Kumon study at home. The time taken to complete a day’s work may be around 30 minutes per subject, although this study time can vary.
In class, students complete their day’s worksheets and are observed and guided by the Instructor and a team of Assistants who support and encourage your child in their studies and ensure that they are progressing well.

30 minutes at Kumon

Kumon class
Students attend their classes, online or at the centre, to ensure the Instructor can develop their self-learning and academic skills

Preparation for class
Daily homework has been completed, with worksheets marked and corrections completed before class, ready to study

Completion of worksheets
Students complete work that the Instructor has set to specifically develop their skills and ensure they are progressing independently

Receive Instructor guidance when necessary
Instructors observe student’s flow and progress and instruct them as necessary

Marking and self-correcting of worksheets
An adult should mark worksheets and the student completes corrections immediately to aid learning

Achieve perfect score when finishing class
It is important that each student finishes class with a sense of achievement, motivated for their next challenge
