Summer offers a marvellous opportunity to start developing your child’s skills in English or maths. With only 20 minutes of daily study, the individualised programme designed for your child builds study skills while establishing the robust academic foundation for further advancement.

Kumon maths and English programmes are completely individualised, year round programmes which offer the possibility of using the summer months productively. Students who study for approximately 20 minutes daily develop according to their individual abilities and find themselves, over time, advancing steadily, often far beyond their age.

The summer months offer a marvellous opportunity for students of all ages and abilities to consolidate and advance their academic skills with the Kumon maths or English programmes. A free diagnostic test establishes the “just right” start point for the student and an individualised study programme for just 20 minutes daily enables the student to develop at his/her own individual pace in the subject of choice.

“What we care most about is each individual student.” This is the guiding principle of Kumon study centres across the globe. Students commence their individualised Kumon programmes at the ‘just right’ start point, carefully ascertained by a free diagnostic test. They then work through a daily programme designed to match their individual capacity to consolidate their subject foundation before moving on, over time, to study material that can be far ahead of their school level. Mastery, in terms of speed and accuracy, is assessed at the end of each level. Progress is charted regularly.
